12 When Jesus heard that John was beheaded, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart; and when the people had heard of him, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
13 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, and he healed their sick.
14 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and by themselves victuals.
15 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
16 And they said unto him, We have here but five loaves and two fishes. He said, Bring them hither to me.
17 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven he blessed and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples, to the multitude.
18 And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up of the fragments that remained, twelve basketsful. And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
19 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain, apart, to pray.
20 And when the evening was come, he was there alone. But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with the waves; for the wind was contrary.
21 And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.
22 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.
