And if I send them away hungry, they will faint on the way, for some have come from afar. His disciples answered him, How can anyone satisfy them with bread here in the desert? And he asked them, How many loaves of bread do you have? They said, "Seven." And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and when he had given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to set before them, and they set them before the people. And they had some fish too, and he gave thanks, and had these also set before them. And they ate and were filled, and they picked up the fragments that remained, seven baskets full. And there were about four thousand; and he sent them away. (Mark 8:1-9) On the blessing through Jesus 1.
