Multitudes of 4,000 and 5,000 Eat/Disciples do communion NJKV


Matthew 15:32-39 Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way,"  

Then His disciples said to him, "Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?"

Jesus said to them,

"How many loaves do we have?"

And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."

So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.

So they all ate and were filed, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.

Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of Magdala.

Matthew 14:7-21 Therefore he promised with an oath to give to her whatever she might ask.

So she, having been prompted by her mother, said, "Give me John the Baptist's head head on a platter."

And the king was sorry; nevertheless, because of the oaths and because of those who sat with him, he commended it to be given to her.

So he sent and had John beheaded in prison.

And his head was brought on a platter and given to the girl, and she brought it to her mother.

Then his disciples came and took away the body and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.

When it was evening, His disciples came to him, saying, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, thst they may go into the village and buy themselves food."

But Jesus said to them,

"They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."

And they said to Him, "We have here only five leoaves and two fish."

He said,

"Bring them here to me."

Then he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.

So they all ate and were filed, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.

Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
