(30)And the disciples came together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. (31)And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and repose a little while: for there were multitudes coming and going, so that they had not even time to eat. (32)And they went into a desert place in a vessel privately. (33)And the multitudes observed them going off, and many knew him, and ran thither on foot out of all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto him. (34)And Jesus, when he landed, saw a vast multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, for they were as sheep having no shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. (35)And when great part of the day was already gone, his disciples coming to him said, This is a desert place, and much of the day is already gone: (36)send them away, that they may go into the country places and villages around, and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat. (37)But he answering said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy the value of two hundred denarii, in loaves, and give them to eat? (38)But he said to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes. (39)And he commanded them to seat them all by companies on the green grass: (40)and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide. (41)And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, that they should set them before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all. (42)And they did all eat, and were filled: (43)and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. (44)And they who did eat of the loaves, were about five thousand men. (45)And immediately he compelled his disciples to go on board the vessel, and to go before him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he sent the multitude away. (46)And having bid them farewell, he went into a mountain to pray. (47)And when the evening was come, the vessel was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land. (48)And he saw them greatly fatigued with rowing, for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the sea, and seemed intending to pass by them. (49)But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they thought it was an apparition, and screamed out: (50)for they all saw him, and were greatly agitated: and straitway he spoke to them, and said, Take courage, it is I, be not terrified. (51)And he went up to them into the vessel, and the wind ceased and they were beyond all imagination amazed in themselves, and lost in wonder. (52)For they reflected not upon the loaves, for their heart was hardened.
