10. And יהושע said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place, and the men, numbering about five thousand, sat down.
11. And יהושע took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the taught ones, and the taught ones to those sitting down. And the same with the fish, as much as they wished.
12. And when they were filled, He said to His taught ones, “Gather the broken pieces that are left over, so that none gets wasted.”
13. So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
14. Then the men, having seen the sign that יהושע did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is coming to the world.”
15. Then יהושע, knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him sovereign, withdrew again to the mountain, alone by Himself.
16. And when evening came, His taught ones went down to the sea,
17. and entering into the boat, they were going over the sea toward Kephar Naḥum. And it had already become dark, and יהושע had not yet come to them.
18. And the sea was rising because a great wind was blowing.
19. When they had rowed about five or six kilometres, they saw יהושע walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
20. And He said to them, “It is I, do not be afraid.”
21. They wished therefore to take Him into the boat, and at once the boat was at the land where they were going.
22. On the next day, the crowd that was standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there except that one into which His taught ones had entered, and that יהושע had not entered the boat with His taught ones, but His taught ones went away alone –
23. but other boats came from Kinnereth, near the place where they ate bread after the Master had given thanks –
24. therefore when the crowd saw that יהושע was not there, nor His taught ones, they themselves also entered into the boats and came to Kephar Naḥum, seeking יהושע.
25. And having found Him on the other side of the sea, they asked Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?”
26. יהושע answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied.
27. “Do not labour for the food that is perishing, but for the food that is remaining to everlasting life, which the Son of Aḏam shall give you, for the Father, Elohim, has set His seal on Him.”
28. So they said to Him, “What should we do to work the works of Elohim?”
