Matthew 14:14-27 English Revised Version (ERV)

14. And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick.

15. And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.

16. But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat.

17. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

18. And he said, Bring them hither to me.

19. And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.

20. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

21. And they that did eat were about five thousand men, beside women an children.

22. And straightway he constrained the disciples to enter into the boat, and to go before him unto the other side, till he should send the multitudes away.

23. And after he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray: and when even was come, he was there alone.

24. But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves; for the wind was contrary.

25. And in the fourth watch of the night he came unto them, walking upon the sea.

26. And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is an apparition; and they cried out for fear.

27. But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.
