12 Then his disciples came, and took the dead body, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.

13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat, to a secluded place to be alone. When the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard [of it] followed him on foot from the cities.

15 Now when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, "This place is desolate, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."
But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and [much of] the [day] time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.
16 But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give ye them to eat.
17 And they told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."
But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.
18 So he said, "Bring them here to me."
And he said, Bring them here to me.
19 Then he commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the crowds.
And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave [them] to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the crowds.

And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.
21 Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

22 And immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the crowds away.
And immediately he compelled the disciples to go on board ship, and to go on before him to the other side, until he should have dismissed the crowds.
23 And after he had sent the crowds away, he went up into the mountain by himself to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there,
24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, battered by the waves, for the wind was against it.
but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
25 And in the watch between three and six in the morning, he came to them, walking on the sea.
But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea.
26 And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, "It's a ghost." and they screamed with fear.
And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear.

28 Peter answered him and said, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters."
And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come to thee upon the waters.
29 He said, "Come." Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the water and went toward Jesus.
And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.
30 But when he saw the strong wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he yelled, saying, "Lord, save me."

32 When they got up into the boat, the wind ceased.
And when they had gone up into the ship, the wind fell.
33 Those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, "You are truly the Son of God."
But those in the ship came and did homage to him, saying, Truly thou art God's Son.
34 When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.
And having crossed over they came to the land of Gennesaret.
35 When the people of that place recognized him, they sent into all that surrounding region, and brought to him all who were sick,
And when the men of that place recognised him, they sent to that whole country around, and they brought to him all that were ill,
36 and they begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment. And all who touched it were healed.
and besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment; and as many as touched were made thoroughly well.
