006:002 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick. 006:003 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. 006:004 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 006:005 Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?" 006:006 This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 006:007 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little." 006:008 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 006:009 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?" 006:010 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 006:011 Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired. 006:012 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost." 006:013 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten. 006:014 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world." 006:015 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself. 006:016 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 006:017 and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them. 006:018 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing. 006:019 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,{25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3 to 4 miles} they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid. 006:020 But he said to them, "It is I{or, I AM}. Don't be afraid." 006:021 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going. 006:022 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn't entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone. 006:023 However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
