34. As Yeshua came ashore, He saw a large crowd and felt compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So He taught them many things.
35. When it was already late, His disciples came to Him and said, “This place is isolated, and the hour is already late.
36. Send these people away so they can go into the nearby countryside and the villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37. But He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat!” And they said to Him, “Should we go and spend two hundred denarii on bread to give them something to eat?”
38. Then He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” When they found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39. Then Yeshua made them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
40. So they reclined in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41. And He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, He offered the bracha. He broke the loaves and kept giving them to the disciples to serve to the people; and He divided the two fish among them all.
42. They all ate and were satisfied,
43. and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and fish.
44. Now there were five thousand men who ate the loaves.
45. Right away, Yeshua made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away.
46. After leaving them, He went up on the hillside to pray.
47. And when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea and He was alone on the land.
48. He saw the disciples struggling to row, for the wind was against them. Around the fourth watch in the night, Yeshua comes to them, walking on the sea; and He wanted to pass by them.
49. But when they saw Him walking on the sea, they thought He was a ghost and cried out—
50. for they all saw Him and were terrified. But immediately, He spoke to them. He said, “Take courage! I am. Do not be afraid.”
51. Then He got into the boat with them, and the wind stopped. They were utterly dumbfounded,
52. for they still hadn’t understood about the loaves. Instead, their hearts were hardened.
