- 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.

- 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."

- The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.

- 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,

- When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.
- Seeing them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them, at about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea; and He intended to pass by them.
- But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed that it was a ghost, 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,

- As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus.
|
- for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately He spoke with them and said to them, "Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid."
- Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped; and they were utterly astonished,
- for they had not gained any insight from the incident of the loaves, but their heart was hardened.
- When they had crossed over they came to land at Gennesaret, and moored to the shore.
- When they got out of the boat, immediately the people recognized 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 about that whole country and began to carry here and there on their pallets those who were sick, to the place they heard He was.
- Wherever He entered villages, or cities, or countryside, they were laying the sick in the market places, and imploring Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were being cured.
