Mark 6:32–56
32 And they went away in the boat to an isolated place by themselves. 33 And many people saw them leaving and recognized them,* and ran there together by land from all the towns, and arrived ahead of them. 34 And getting out of the boat* he saw the large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep ⌊without⌋j a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things. 35 And the hour had already become late when* his disciples came up to him, saying, “The place is desolate and the hour is already late. 36 Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding farms and villages and* purchase something to eat for themselves.” 37 But he answered and* said to them, “You give them something* to eat.” And they said to him, “Should we go and* purchase bread for two hundred denarii and give it* to them to eat?” 38 And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!” And when they* found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.” 39 And he ordered them all to recline in groups on the green grass. 40 And they reclined in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish and* looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves and gave them* to his disciples so that they could set them* before them. And he distributed the two fish to them all. 42 And they all ate and were satisfied. 43 And they picked up the broken pieces, twelve baskets full, and of the fish. 44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45 And immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself dismissed the crowd. 46 And after he* had said farewell to them, 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 he saw them being beaten in their rowingk because the wind was against them. Around the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he was wanting to pass by them. 49 But when* they saw him walking on the sea, they thought that it was a ghost, and they cried out. 50 For they all saw him and were terrified. But immediately he spoke with them and said to them, “Have courage, I am he! Do not be afraid!” 51 And he went up with them into the boat, and the wind abated. And ⌊they were extraordinarily⌋l astounded within themselves, 52 because they did not understand concerning the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53 And after they* had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and anchored there. 54 And as they were getting out of the boat, people* recognized him immediately. 55 They ran about through that whole region and began to carry around those ⌊who were sick⌋m on stretchers, wherever they heard that he was. 56 And wherever he would go, into villages or into towns or to farms, they would put those who were sick in the marketplaces and would implore him that if they could touch even the edge of his cloak. And all those who touched it were healed.
