Matthew 14:13-34

13Now when Yeshua heard this, He went away from there privately by boat to an isolated place. But when the crowds heard, they followed Him on foot from the towns.

14As Yeshua came ashore, He saw a large crowd and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.

15When it became evening, the disciples came to Him, saying, “This place is isolated, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away so they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”

16But Yeshua said to them, “They don’t need to leave—you give them something to eat.”

17“We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish,” they said to Him.

18“Bring them here to Me,” He said.

19Ordering the crowd to recline on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, He offered the bracha. After breaking the loaves, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

20They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of broken pieces left over.

21Now those eating were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

22Right away, Yeshua made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.

23After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the hillside by Himself to pray. And when evening came, He was there alone.

24But the boat was already a long way from land, tossed around by the waves, for the wind was against it.

25Now in the fourth watch of the night, Yeshua came to them, walking on the sea.

26But when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It’s a ghost!” And they cried out with fear.

27But immediately, Yeshua spoke to them, saying, “Take courage! I am. Don’t be afraid.”

28Answering, Peter said to Him, “Master, if it’s You, command me to come to You on the water.”

29And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to go to Yeshua.

30But seeing the wind, he became terrified. And beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Master, save me!”

31Immediately Yeshua reached out His hand and grabbed him. And He said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

32When they got into the boat, the wind ceased.

33And those in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You really are Ben-Elohim!”

34After they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
