Bible verse
The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”
Matthew 15:33 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 15.
29 Moving on from there, Jesus went along the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on a mountain and sat down.
30 Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and laid them at His feet, and He healed them.
31 The crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
32 Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, “I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may faint along the way.”
33 The disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could we find enough bread to feed such a large crowd?”
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35 And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground.
36 Taking the seven loaves and the fish, He gave thanks and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
37 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
