And they said, Seuen. 6 Then he commaunded the multitude to sit downe on the grounde: and hee tooke the seuen loaues, and gaue thankes, brake them, and gaue to his disciples to set before them, and they did set them before the people. 7 They had also a few small fishes: and when he had giuen thankes, he commaunded them also to be set before them. 8 So they did eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full. 9 (And they that had eaten, were about foure thousand) so he sent them away.
