14:15
When evening came, the disciples came to Him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”
14:16
“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
14:17
“We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
14:18
“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
14:19
And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
14:20
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
14:21
About five thousand men were fed, besides women and children.
14:22
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.
14:23
After He had dismissed them, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,
14:24
but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
14:25
During the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea.
14:26
When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost!” they said, and cried out in fear.
14:27
But Jesus spoke up at once: “Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid.”
14:28
“Lord, if it is You,” Peter replied, “command me to come to You on the water.”
14:29
“Come,” said Jesus. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
14:30
But when he saw the strength of the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
14:31
Immediately Jesus reached out His hand and took hold of Peter. “You of little faith,” He said, “why did you doubt?”
14:32
And when they had climbed back into the boat, the wind died down.
14:33
Then those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God!”
