40. And they sat down in groups, in hundreds and in fifties.
41. And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to the heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His taught ones to set before them. And the two fishes He divided among them all.
42. And all ate and were satisfied.
43. And they picked up twelve baskets, filled with pieces, also from the fishes.
44. Now those who ate the loaves were about five thousand men.
45. And immediately He made His taught ones enter into the boat, and to go before Him to the other side, to Bĕyth Tsaiḏa, while He was dismissing the crowd.
46. And having sent them away, He went away to the mountain to pray.
47. And when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea. And He was alone on the land.
48. And seeing them straining at rowing – for the wind was against them – at about the fourth watch of the night, He came to them walking on the sea, and He wished to pass them by.
49. And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought it was a phantom, and cried out,
50. for they all saw Him and were troubled. And immediately He spoke to them and said to them, “Take courage, it is I. Do not be afraid.”
51. And He went up to them, into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they were exceedingly amazed in themselves, and marvelled.
52. For they did not understand about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.
53. And having passed over, they came to the land of Gennĕsar and drew to shore.
54. And when they came out of the boat, He was immediately recognised,
55. and all that neighbourhood ran about, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.
56. And wherever He went, into villages, or cities, or the country, they were laying the sick in the market-places, and begged Him to let them touch if only the tzitzit of His garment. And as many as touched Him were healed.
