In those days, the multitude being large, and having nothing which they may eat, Jesus calling His disciples, says to them,
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
I sympathize with the multitude because three days already abide unto me, and they have nothing which they may eat.
3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
If I shall send them away to their homes fasting, they will faint on the road; indeed some of them have come from afar.
4 His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
And His disciples responded, Whence shall any one be able to feed these with bread in the desert?
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
And He asked them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven loaves.
6 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.

13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.

And Jesus knowing says to them, Why do you reason because you have not bread? do you not yet know, nor understand? have you your heart still hardened?

34 He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

For whosoever may wish to save his soul shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his soul for my sake and that of the gospel shall save it.
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
