July 4, 2024. Gospel: Mark 8:1-9. Feria.

1 In those days again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them:In diebus illis iterum cum turba multa esset, nec haberent quod manducarent, convocatis discipulis, ait illis :  2 I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.Misereor super turbam : quia ecce jam triduo sustinent me, nec habent quod manducent :  3 And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.et si dimisero eos jejunos in domum suam, deficient in via : quidam enim ex eis de longe venerunt.  4 And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?Et responderunt ei discipuli sui : Unde illos quis poterit saturare panibus in solitudine?  5 And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven.Et interrogavit eos : Quot panes habetis? Qui dixerunt : Septem.  6 And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.Et praecepit turbae discumbere super terram. Et accipiens septem panes, gratias agens fregit, et dabat discipulis suis ut apponerent, et apposuerunt turbae.  7 And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.Et habebant pisciculos paucos : et ipsos benedixit, et jussit apponi.  8 And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.Et manducaverunt, et saturati sunt, et sustulerunt quod superaverat de fragmentis, septem sportas.  9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.Erant autem qui manducaverunt, quasi quatuor millia : et dimisit eos.
