Mark 6:30-53

301The 2apostlesG652 gatheredG4863 togetherG4863 with JesusG2424; and they reportedG518 to Him allG3956 that they had doneG4160 and taughtG1321. 31And He saidG3004 to them, “ComeG1205 away by yourselvesG4771G846 to a secludedG2048 placeG5117 and restG373 a littleG3641 whileG3641.” (For there were manyG4183 people comingG2064 and goingG5217, and 3they did not evenG3761 haveG2119 timeG2119 to eatG2068.) 324And they wentG565 awayG565 in 5the boatG4143 to a secludedG2048 placeG5117 by themselvesG2398. 33The people sawG3708 them goingG5217, and manyG4183 recognizedG1921 them and ranG4936 thereG1563 togetherG4936 on footG3979 from allG3956 the citiesG4172, and gotG4281 thereG4281 aheadG4281 of them. 34When Jesus wentG1831 6ashoreG1831, He 7sawG3708 a largeG4183 crowdG3793, and He feltG4697 compassionG4697 for them becauseG3754 8they were likeG5613 sheepG4263 withoutG3361G2192 a shepherdG4166; and He beganG757 to teachG1321 them manyG4183 thingsG4183. 35And when it was alreadyG2235 lateG4183G5610, His disciplesG3101 cameG4334 upG4334 to Him and saidG3004, “9ThisG3588 placeG5117 is secludedG2048 and it is alreadyG2235 lateG5610G4183; 36sendG630 them awayG630 soG2443 thatG2443 they may goG565 into the surroundingG2945 countrysideG68 and villagesG2968 and buyG59 themselvesG1438 10somethingG5101 to eatG2068.” 37But He answeredG611 them, “You giveG1325 them something to eatG2068!” 11And they saidG3004 to Him, “Shall we goG565 and spendG59 twoG1250 hundredG1250 1213denariiG1220 on breadG740, and giveG1325 it to them to eatG2068?” 38But He saidG3004 to them, “HowG4214 manyG4214 loavesG740 do you haveG2192? GoG5217 lookG3708!” And when they foundG1097 outG1097, they saidG3004, “FiveG4002, and twoG1417 fishG2486.” 39And He orderedG2004 them allG3956 to reclineG347 by groupsG4849 on the greenG5515 grassG5528. 40They reclinedG377 in groupsG4237 of hundredsG1540 and fiftiesG4004. 41And He tookG2983 the fiveG4002 loavesG740 and the twoG1417 fishG2486, and lookingG308 upG308 towardG1519 heavenG3772, He 14blessedG2127 the food and brokeG2622 the loavesG740 and He gaveG1325 them to the disciplesG3101 again and again to setG3908 beforeG3908 them; and He dividedG3307 the twoG1417 fishG2486 among them allG3956. 42And they allG3956 ateG2068 and were satisfiedG5526; 43and they pickedG142 upG142 twelveG1427 fullG4138 15basketsG2894 of the brokenG2801 piecesG2801 of bread, and of the fishG2486. 44There were 16fiveG4000 thousandG4000 17menG435 who ateG2068 the loavesG740.

4518And immediatelyG2117 Jesus hadG315 His disciplesG3101 getG1684 into 19the boatG4143 and goG4254 aheadG4254 of Him to the otherG4008 sideG4008, to 20BethsaidaG966, whileG2193 He HimselfG846 dismissedG630 the crowdG3793. 46And after 21sayingG657 goodbyeG657 to them, He leftG565 22for the mountainG3735 to prayG4336.

47When it was eveningG3798, the boatG4143 was in the middleG3319 of the seaG2281, and He was aloneG3441 on the landG1093. 48SeeingG3708 them 23strainingG928 at the oarsG1643--for the windG417 was againstG1727 them--at aboutG4012 the 2425fourthG5067 watchG5438 of the nightG3571, He cameG2064 to them, walkingG4043 on the seaG2281; and He intendedG2309 to passG3928 by them. 49But when they sawG3708 Him walkingG4043 on the seaG2281, they thoughtG1380 that it was a ghostG5326, and they criedG349 outG349; 50for they allG3956 sawG3708 Him and were 26terrifiedG5015. But immediatelyG2117 He spokeG2980 with them and saidG3004 to them, “27TakeG2293 courageG2293; it is I, 28do not beG5399 afraidG5399.” 51ThenG2532 He gotG305 into 29the boatG4143 with them, and the windG417 stoppedG2869; and they were utterlyG3029G1537G4053 astonishedG1839, 52for 30they 31had not gainedG4920 any insightG4920 from the incident of the loavesG740, but 32their heartsG2588 33were hardenedG4456.

5334When they had crossedG1276 overG1276 they cameG2064 to landG1093 at GennesaretG1082, and mooredG4358 at the shore.
