For This Reason I Pray For You To Know The Love of Christ And The Fullness of God
14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from Whom the whole[a] family in the heavens and on earth is named, 16 asking that He might grant to you in accordance with the riches of His glory that you be strengthened with power through His Spirit in your inner person 17 so-that[b] Christ may dwell[c] in your hearts through faith, 18 in-order-that[d] you, having[e] been rooted and founded in love, might be strong-enough[f] to grasp[g] together-with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ surpassing knowledge, in-order-that[h] you might be filled to all the fullness of God.
To God Be The Glory
20 Now to the One being able to do super-abundantly beyond all of the things which we ask or think[i] according to the power being at-work[j] in us— 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus for all generations forever and ever, amen.
Jesus Returns To Galilee And Feeds The 5000
6 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee— of Tiberias[a]. 2 And a large crowd was following Him, because they were seeing the signs which He was doing on the ones being sick. 3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and was sitting there with His disciples. 4 And the Passover, the Feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then Jesus, having lifted-up His eyes and seen that a large crowd was coming to Him, says to Philip, “From where may we buy bread in order that these ones may eat?” 6 Now He was saying this testing him. For He Himself knew what He was going to do. 7 Philip answered Him, “Loaves worth two-hundred denarii[b] are not enough for them, in order that each one may receive a little bit”. 8 One of His disciples— Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter— says to Him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Make the people fall-back [to eat]”. And there was much grass in the place. So the men— about five-thousand as to the number— fell back [to eat]. 11 Then Jesus took the loaves. And having given-thanks, He distributed them to the ones reclining-back [to eat]— likewise also from the fish— as much as they were wanting. 12 And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather the left-over fragments so that nothing may be lost”. 13 So they gathered, and filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves, which were left over by the ones having eaten. 14 Therefore the people, having seen the sign which He did, were saying that “This One is truly the Prophet[c] coming into the world”. 15 Then Jesus, having known that they were about to come and take Him away-by-force in order that they might make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain, Himself alone.
Jesus Walks On Water To Capernaum
16 Now when it became evening, His disciples went down to the sea. 17 And having gotten into a boat, they were going to the other side of the sea, to Capernaum. And darkness already had come, and Jesus had not-yet come to them. 18 And the sea was becoming aroused from a great wind blowing. 19 So having rowed about twenty five or thirty stades[d], they see Jesus walking on the sea and becoming near the boat. And they became afraid. 20 But the One says to them, “I am[e] the One. Do not be afraid”. 21 So they were willing to take Him into the boat. And immediately the boat came-to-be at the land to which they were going.
