34. And Jesus, when he came out, saw many people, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
35. And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36. Send them away, that they may go into the country around, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37. He answered and said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38. He saith to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39. And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40. And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41. And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes he divided among them all.
42. And they all ate, and were satisfied.
43. And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44. And they that ate of the loaves, were about five thousand men.
45. And immediately he constrained his disciples to get into the boat, and to go to the other side before to Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
46. And when he had dismissed them, he departed to a mountain to pray.
47. And when evening was come, the boat was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48. And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh to them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49. But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out.
50. (For they all saw him, and were troubled.) And immediately he talked with them, and saith to them, Be of good cheer: It is I; be not afraid.
51. And he went up to them into the boat; and the wind ceased: and they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
