Bible in Basic English
"I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;"
— Mark 8:2, Bible in Basic English
“"I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.”
In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,
I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;
If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.
And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?
And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.
