And when Je-sus went out and saw them, his heart was moved, and he taught them, and made the sick ones well. When night came on, the twelve said to Je-sus, Send these off that they may go to the towns and buy food for them-selves, for they have nought to eat. Je-sus said, They need not go. Give you them some-thing to eat. They said, Shall we go out and buy bread and give it to them? Je-sus said, How much have you? Go and see. When they knew they said, We have five loaves and two small fish-es. Je-sus bade the twelve have the crowd seat them-selves in rows on the green grass. Then he took the five loaves and the two fish-es, and gave thanks to God for them. And he broke the loaves, and the fish-es, and the twelve gave them piece by piece to the crowd, till all had had their fill. When the feast was at an end there was e-nough bread and fish left to fill twelve bas-kets. Then Je-sus bade the twelve dis-ci-ples get in-to the boat and go back to Ca-per-na-um. And when the crowd had left him he went up on a high hill to pray. And when night came on he was there with none but God near him. The twelve were in the boat, out in the midst of the sea. Their oars were of no use, for the wind blew hard the wrong way, and drove them back from their course, and made the waves toss the boat here and there. Je-sus could see it all from his high place on the hill, and in the night he went down to the shore and walked out on the sea. When the twelve saw him they were in a great fright, for they thought it was a ghost, and they cried out in their fear. Je-sus said, Be of good cheer. It is I. [Illustration: FEED-ING THE MUL-TI-TUDE.] Pe-ter spoke from the boat, and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the sea. Je-sus said to him, Come, and Pe-ter came out of the boat and walked on the waves to go to Je-sus. But when he heard the noise of the wind, and saw the waves dash all round him, he was in great fear; and as he felt him-self sink he cried out, Lord, save me. [Illustration: PE-TER WALK-ING ON THE WA-TER.] Je-sus put forth his hand and caught him, and said to him, O thou of lit-tle faith, why didst thou doubt me? When Je-sus and Pe-ter came in-to the boat the wind was still, and the twelve were soon on the shore they had set out to reach. Then they fell at his feet, and said, It is true that thou art the Son of God. [Illustration: CHRIST WALK-ING ON THE SEA.] As soon as it was known where Je-sus was, crowds came from all the towns that were near, and brought their sick in their beds that he might make them well. And when he went through the large and small towns they laid the sick in the streets, and begged that they might touch but the hem of his robe. And at a touch they were all made well. CHAPTER XI.
