- The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.
- Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
- So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
- But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
- When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
|
- And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
- And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
- And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
- And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
- And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
|
- By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late.
- Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
- But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a man's wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"
- "How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five--and two fish."
- Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.
|
- And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
- Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
- He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
- He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
- And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
|
- So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
- Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.
- They all ate and were satisfied,
- and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
- The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
|
- And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
- And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
- And they did all eat, and were filled.
- And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
- And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
|
- Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.
- After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.
- When evening came, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land.
- He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them,
- but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,
|
- And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
- And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
- And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
- And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
- But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
|
- because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid."
- Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed,
- for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.
- When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there.
- As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus.
|
- For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
- And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
- For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
- And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
- And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
|
- They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.
- And wherever he went--into villages, towns or countryside--they placed the sick in the marketplaces. They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.
|
- And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
- And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
