Mark 8:1-5

    During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance." 

    His disciples answered, "But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?"

    "How may loaves do you have?" Jesus asked.

    "Seven," they replied.
