12 Et accedentes discipuli ejus, tulerunt corpus ejus, et sepelierunt illud: et venientes nuntiaverunt Jesu.
And his disciples came, and tooke vp the bodie, and buried it, and went, and tolde Iesus.
13 Quod cum audisset Jesus, secessit inde in navicula, in locum desertum seorsum: et cum audissent turbæ, secutæ sunt eum pedestres de civitatibus.
And when Iesus heard it, hee departed thence by shippe into a desert place apart. And when the multitude had heard it, they followed him on foote out of the cities.
14 Et exiens vidit turbam multam, et misertus est eis, et curavit languidos eorum.
And Iesus went foorth and sawe a great multitude, and was mooued with compassion toward them, and he healed their sicke.
15 Vespere autem facto, accesserunt ad eum discipuli ejus, dicentes: Desertus est locus, et hora jam præteriit: dimitte turbas, ut euntes in castella, emant sibi escas.
And when euen was come, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desart place, and the time is alreadie past: let the multitude depart, that they may goe into the townes, and bye them vitailes.
16 Jesus autem dixit eis: Non habent necesse ire: date illis vos manducare.
But Iesus saide to them, They haue no neede to goe away: giue yee them to eate.
17 Responderunt ei: Non habemus hic nisi quinque panes et duos pisces.
Then saide they vnto him, Wee haue here but fiue loaues, and two fishes.
18 Qui ait eis: Afferte mihi illos huc.
And he saide, Bring them hither to me.
19 Et cum jussisset turbam discumbere super fœnum, acceptis quinque panibus et duobus piscibus, aspiciens in cælum benedixit, et fregit, et dedit discipulis panes, discipuli autem turbis.
And hee commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grasse, and tooke the fiue loaues and the two fishes, and looked vp to heauen and blessed, and brake, and gaue the loaues to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

21 Manducantium autem fuit numerus quinque millia virorum, exceptis mulieribus et parvulis.

22 Et statim compulit Jesus discipulos ascendere in naviculam, et præcedere eum trans fretum, donec dimitteret turbas.

24 navicula autem in medio mari jactabatur fluctibus: erat enim contrarius ventus.

28 Respondens autem Petrus, dixit: Domine, si tu es, jube me ad te venire super aquas.
Then Peter answered him, and saide, Master, if it be thou, bid me come vnto thee on the water.
29 At ipse ait: Veni. Et descendens Petrus de navicula, ambulabat super aquam ut veniret ad Jesum.
And he saide, Come. And when Peter was come downe out of the shippe, he walked on the water, to goe to Iesus.
30 Videns vero ventum validum, timuit: et cum cœpisset mergi, clamavit dicens: Domine, salvum me fac.
But when he sawe a mightie winde, he was afraide: and as he began to sinke, he cried, saying, Master, saue me.
31 Et continuo Jesus extendens manum, apprehendit eum: et ait illi: Modicæ fidei, quare dubitasti?

34 Et cum transfretassent, venerunt in terram Genesar.

And besought him, that they might touch the hemme of his garment onely: and as many as touched it, were made whole.
