“I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
Mark 8:2 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 8.
1 In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,
2 “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3 If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a great distance.”
4 His disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people?”
5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.
6 And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.
