- A. 1-3 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
- B. 4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
- C. 5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
- D. 6a And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground:
- E. 6b and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
- E'. 7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
- D'. 8a So they did eat, and were filled:
- C'. 8b and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
- B'. 9a And they that had eaten were about four thousand:
- A'. 9b and he sent them away.
- 2A. 10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
- 2B. 11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
- 2C. 12a And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign?
- 2B'. 12b verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
- 2A'. 13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
