Old/New Testament
Jesus Multiplies Five Loaves And Two Fish To Feed 5000 Men
30 And the apostles are gathered-together with Jesus. And they reported to Him all that they did and that they taught. 31 And He says to them, “Come, you yourselves privately, to a desolate[a] place, and rest a little”. For the ones coming and the ones going were many, and they were not even finding-an-opportunity[b] to eat. 32 And they went away privately in the boat to a desolate place. 33 And they[c] saw them going, and many knew[d] where. And they ran there together on foot from all the cities. And they came-ahead-of [e] them. 34 And having gone[f] out, He saw a large crowd and felt-deep-feelings [of compassion] toward them because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things. 35 And already having become a late hour, having come to Him, His disciples were saying that “This place is desolate, and it is already a late hour. 36 Send them away in order that having gone away into the surrounding farms and villages, they may buy themselves what they may eat”. 37 But the One, having responded, said to them, “You give them something to eat”. And they say to Him, “Should we, having gone away, buy loaves worth two-hundred denarii[g] and give them something to eat?” 38 And the One says to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go, see!” And having come-to-know, they say “Five, and two fish”. 39 And He commanded them to make everyone lie-back party by party on the green[h] grass. 40 And they fell-back grouping by grouping, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 And having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to heaven, He blessed them[i], and broke the loaves in pieces, and was giving them to His disciples in order that they might be setting it before them. And He divided the two fish to everyone. 42 And they all ate and were filled-to-satisfaction. 43 And they picked up fragments— the fillings of twelve baskets, and from the fish. 44 And the ones having eaten the loaves were five-thousand men[j].
Jesus Walks Across The Raging Sea
45 And immediately, He compelled[k] His disciples to get into the boat, and to be going ahead to the other side, toward[l] Bethsaida, while He sends-away the crowd. 46 And having said-good-bye to them[m], He went away on the mountain to pray. 47 And having become evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea and He was alone on the land. 48 And having seen them being tormented[n] in the rowing— for the wind was contrary to them— He comes to them around the fourth watch[o] of the night, walking on the sea. And He was intending[p] to pass-by them. 49 But the ones, having seen Him walking on the sea, thought that “It is a phantom[q]”, and cried-out. 50 For they all saw Him and were frightened. But immediately the One spoke with them. And He says to them, “Take-courage, I am[r] the One. Do not be afraid[s]”. 51 And He went up with them in the boat. And the wind stopped. And they were very exceedingly astonished in themselves. 52 For they did not understand[t] on the basis of the loaves-of-bread, but their heart had been hardened.
In Gennesaret The People Recognize Him And Bring All Their Sick To Him For Healing
53 And having crossed-over, they came on land in Gennesaret and moored. 54 And they having gone out of the boat— immediately having recognized Him, 55 the people ran around that whole region. And they began to carry around the ones being ill on their cots to-where they were hearing that He was. 56 And wherever He was entering— into villages, or into cities, or into fields— they were laying the ones being sick in the marketplaces, and were begging Him that they might touch even[u] the tassel of His garment. And all who touched it were being restored[v].
