8:1 The crowd was enormous in those days, and they do not have anything to eat. Jesus, having called to him his disciples, says to them,

8:2 I have compassion upon the crowd, because they already remain with me for three days and do not have anything that they might eat.

8:7 And they were holding a few small-fish, and having given-thanks, he said to his disciples to also place these beside them.

8:13 And having left them, he again stepped onto a ship, and went away to the area beyond-that.

8:37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
