Jesus Creates More Than Enough Bread And Fish To Feed 5000 Men

¹³ And having heard-of it ^[a], Jesus withdrew from there privately in a boat to a desolate place. And having heard-of it, the crowds followed Him on foot from the cities. ¹⁴ And having gone-out^[b], He saw a large crowd and felt-deep-feelings [of compassion] for them. And He cured their sick ones. ¹⁵ And having become evening^[c], the disciples came to Him saying, “This place is desolate and the hour already passed. Send-away the crowds in order that having gone away into the villages, they may buy themselves food”. ¹⁶ But Jesus said to them, “They have no need to go away— you give them something to eat”. ¹⁷ But the ones say to Him, “We do not have anything here except five loaves and two fish!” ¹⁸ But the One said, “Bring them here to Me”. ¹⁹ And having ordered the crowds to lie-back on the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to heaven, He blessed^[d] them. And having broken them, He gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. ²⁰ And they all ate and were filled-to-satisfaction. And they picked up the amount of the fragments being left over— twelve full baskets. ²¹ And the ones eating were about five-thousand men, apart from women and children.

Jesus Walks Across The Raging Sea To His Disciples. They Say, Truly You Are God’s Son

²² And immediately He compelled^[e] the disciples to get into the boat and to be going ahead of Him to the other side while^[f] He sent-away the crowds. ²³ And having sent-away the crowds, He went up on the mountain privately to pray. And having become evening^[g], He was there alone. ²⁴ And the boat was already many stades^[h] distant from the land, being tormented by the waves. For the wind was contrary. ²⁵ And He came to them in the fourth watch^[i] of the night, walking across^[j] the sea. ²⁶ But the disciples, having seen Him walking on the sea, were frightened, saying that “It is a phantom^[k]”. And they cried-out from the fear. ²⁷ But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take-courage, I am^[l] the One. Do not be afraid^[m]”. ²⁸ But having responded to Him, Peter said, “Master, if You are^[n] the One, order me to come to You across the waters”. ²⁹ And the One said, “Come”. And having gone down from the boat, Peter walked across the waters and came^[o] to Jesus. ³⁰ But seeing the strong wind, he became afraid. And having begun to sink, he cried-out, saying, “Master, save me!” ³¹ And immediately Jesus, having stretched-out His hand, took-hold-of him. And He says to him, “One of-little-faith, for what purpose^[p] did you doubt?” ³² And they having gone-up^[q] into the boat, the wind stopped. ³³ And the ones in the boat gave-worship^[r] to Him, saying, “Truly^[s] You are God’s Son”.
