The Apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus and told him all these things.
Whatever they had done and whatever they had taught.
He said to them,
You come apart into a deserted place and rest a while.
For there were many coming and going and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
They saw them going and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities.
They arrived before them and came together to him.
Jesus came out,
Saw a great multitude and had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd.
And he began to teach them many things.
When it was late in the day his disciples came to him and said,
This place is deserted and it is late in the day.
Send them away that they may go to the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread for they have nothing to eat.
But he answered them,
You give them something to eat.
They asked him,
Shall we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?
He said to them,
How many loaves do you have?
Go and see.
When they knew they said five and two fish.
He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
They sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties.
He took the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven,
Blessed and broke the loaves and gave to his disciples to set before them.
And he divided the two fish among them all.
They all ate and were filled.
They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
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.
After he had taken leave of them he went up the mountain to pray.
An evening had come,
The boat was in the middle of the sea and he was alone on the land,
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.
But they,
When they saw him walking on the sea,
Supposed that it was a ghost and cried out for they all saw him and were troubled.
But he immediately spoke with them and said to them,
Cheer up,
It is I,
Don't be afraid.
He got into the boat with them and the wind ceased and they were very amazed among themselves and marvelled for they hadn't understood about the loaves,
But their hearts were hardened.
When they had crossed over they came to land at Ganasaret and moored to the shore.
While he had come out of the boat immediately the people recognised him and ran around that whole region and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they had heard he was.
Wherever he entered,
Into villages or into cities or into the country,
They lay the sick in the market places and begged him that they may just touch the fringe of his garment.
That as many as touched him were made well.
