he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the multitudes. 014:020 They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces. 014:021 Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children. 014:022 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 014:023 After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone. 014:024 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. 014:025 In the fourth watch of the night,{The night was equally divided into four watches, so the fourth watch is approximately 3:00 A. M. to sunrise.} Jesus came to them, walking on the sea. 014:026 When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost!" and they cried out for fear. 014:027 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying "Cheer up!

As many as touched it were made whole. 015:001 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem, saying, 015:002 "Why do your disciples disobey the tradition of the elders? For they don't wash their hands when they eat bread." 015:003 He answered them, "Why do you also disobey the commandment of God because of your tradition? 015:004 For God commanded, 'Honor your father and your mother,'{Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 5:16} and, 'He who speaks evil of father or mother, let him be put to death.'{Exodus 21:17; Leviticus 20:9} 015:005 But you say, 'Whoever may tell his father or his mother, "Whatever help you might otherwise have gotten from me is a gift devoted to God," 015:006 he shall not honor his father or mother.'
