Geneva: In those dayes, when there was a very great multitude, and had nothing to eate, Iesus called his disciples to him, and said vnto them,

KJV: I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

Geneva: I haue compassion on the multitude, because they haue nowe continued with mee three dayes, and haue nothing to eate.

KJV: And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

Geneva: And if I sende them away fasting to their owne houses, they woulde faint by the way: for some of them came from farre.

KJV: And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

Geneva: Then his disciples answered him, Whence can a man satisfie these with bread here in the wildernes?

KJV: And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

Geneva: And hee asked them, Howe many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen.

KJV: And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

Geneva: Then he commaunded the multitude to sit downe on the grounde: and hee tooke the seuen loaues, and gaue thankes, brake them, and gaue to his disciples to set before them, and they did set them before the people.

KJV: And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

Geneva: And the Pharises came foorth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a signe from heauen, and tempting him.

KJV: And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

Geneva: Then hee sighed deepely in his spirit, and saide, Why doeth this generation seeke a signe? Verely I say vnto you, a signe shall not be giuen vnto this generation.

KJV: And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

Geneva: And when Iesus knew it, he said vnto them, Why reason you thus, because ye haue no bread? perceiue ye not yet, neither vnderstande? haue ye your hearts yet hardened?
