## Matthew 15:35 in Context (Verses 32–38 KJV)
 
 [32 ](/kjv/matthew/15/32) ¶ Then Jesus called his disciples *unto him*, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
 
 [33 ](/kjv/matthew/15/33) And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?
 
 [34 ](/kjv/matthew/15/34) And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.
 
 [35 ](/kjv/matthew/15/35) And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
 
 [36 ](/kjv/matthew/15/36) And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake *them*, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
 
 [37 ](/kjv/matthew/15/37) And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken *meat* that was left seven baskets full.
 
 [38 ](/kjv/matthew/15/38) And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.
