and villages, and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat." 006:037 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They asked him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii{200 denarii was about 7 or 8 months wages for an agricultural laborer.} worth of bread, and give them something to eat?" 006:038 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see." When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish." 006:039 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass. 006:040 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. 006:041 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all. 006:042 They all ate, and were filled. 006:043 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish. 006:044 Those who ate the loaves were{TR adds "about"} five thousand men. 006:045 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away. 006:046 After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray. 006:047 When evening had come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he was alone on the land. 006:048 Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he would have passed by them, 006:049 but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out; 006:050 for they all saw him, and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them, and said to them, "Cheer up! It is I!{or, "I AM!"} Don't be afraid." 006:051 He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled; 006:052 for they hadn't understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened. 006:053 When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore. 006:054 When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him, 006:055 and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick, on their mats, to where they heard he was. 006:056 Wherever he entered, into villages, or into cities, or into the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged him that they might touch just the fringe{or, tassel} of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well. 007:001 Then the Pharisees, and some of the scribes gathered together to him, having come from Jerusalem. 007:002 Now when they saw some of his disciples eating bread with defiled, that is, unwashed, hands, they found fault.
