Mark 6:35-56

35And when it was alreadyG2235 lateG4183G5610, His disciplesG3101 cameG4334 upG4334 to Him and saidG3004, “1ThisG3588 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 2somethingG5101 to eatG2068.” 37But He answeredG611 them, “You giveG1325 them something to eatG2068!” 3And they saidG3004 to Him, “Shall we goG565 and spendG59 twoG1250 hundredG1250 45denariiG1220 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 6blessedG2127 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 7basketsG2894 of the brokenG2801 piecesG2801 of bread, and of the fishG2486. 44There were 8fiveG4000 thousandG4000 9menG435 who ateG2068 the loavesG740.

4510And immediatelyG2117 Jesus hadG315 His disciplesG3101 getG1684 into 11the boatG4143 and goG4254 aheadG4254 of Him to the otherG4008 sideG4008, to 12BethsaidaG966, whileG2193 He HimselfG846 dismissedG630 the crowdG3793. 46And after 13sayingG657 goodbyeG657 to them, He leftG565 14for 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 15strainingG928 at the oarsG1643--for the windG417 was againstG1727 them--at aboutG4012 the 1617fourthG5067 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 18terrifiedG5015. But immediatelyG2117 He spokeG2980 with them and saidG3004 to them, “19TakeG2293 courageG2293; it is I, 20do not beG5399 afraidG5399.” 51ThenG2532 He gotG305 into 21the boatG4143 with them, and the windG417 stoppedG2869; and they were utterlyG3029G1537G4053 astonishedG1839, 52for 22they 23had not gainedG4920 any insightG4920 from the incident of the loavesG740, but 24their heartsG2588 25were hardenedG4456.

5326When they had crossedG1276 overG1276 they cameG2064 to landG1093 at GennesaretG1082, and mooredG4358 at the shore. 54And when they gotG1831 outG1831 of the boatG4143, immediatelyG2117 the people recognizedG1921 Him, 55and ranG4063 aboutG4063 that entireG3650 countryG5561 and beganG757 carryingG4064 hereG4064 andG4064 thereG4064 on their palletsG2895 thoseG3588 who were sickG2560, 27to whereverG3699 they heardG191 He was. 56And whereverG3699 He enteredG1531 villagesG2968, orG2228 citiesG4172, orG2228 a countrysideG68, they were layingG5087 the sickG770 in the marketplacesG58 and imploringG3870 Him that they might justG2579 28touchG681 29the fringeG2899 of His cloakG2440; and allG3745 whoG3745 touchedG681 it were being 30healedG4982.
