1 After|strong="G3326" this|strong="G3778", Jesus|strong="G2424" crossed the|strong="G3588" Sea|strong="G2281" of|strong="G2424" Galilee|strong="G1056" – otherwise called|strong="G3778" the|strong="G3588" Lake|strong="G2281" of|strong="G2424" Tiberias|strong="G5085".
2 A|strong="G1909" great|strong="G4183" crowd|strong="G3793" of|strong="G1909" people|strong="G3793", however|strong="G1161", followed him|strong="G3588", because|strong="G3754" they|strong="G1161" saw|strong="G3708" the|strong="G1161" signs|strong="G4592" of|strong="G1909" his|strong="G1909" mission in|strong="G1909" his|strong="G1909" work among|strong="G1909" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3739" were|strong="G3588" sick.
3 Jesus|strong="G2424" went|strong="G2424" up|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" hill|strong="G3735", and|strong="G2532" sat|strong="G2521" down|strong="G2521" there|strong="G1563" with|strong="G3326" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101".
4 It|strong="G1161" was|strong="G1510" near|strong="G1451" the|strong="G1161" time of|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1161" Jewish|strong="G2453" Festival|strong="G1859" of|strong="G3588" the|strong="G1161" Passover|strong="G3957".
5 Looking|strong="G2424" up|strong="G1869", and|strong="G2532" noticing that|strong="G3754" a|strong="G2532" great|strong="G4183" crowd|strong="G3793" was|strong="G3588" coming|strong="G2064" towards him|strong="G3588", Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" Philip|strong="G5376", ‘\+w Where|strong="G4159"\+w* \+w are|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w we|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w to|strong="G4314"\+w* buy bread \+w for|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w these|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w people|strong="G3793"\+w* \+w to|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w eat|strong="G2068"\+w*?’
6 He|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3778" to|strong="G3004" test|strong="G3985" him|strong="G4160", for|strong="G1063" he|strong="G1161" himself knew|strong="G1492" what|strong="G5101" he|strong="G1161" meant|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" do|strong="G4160".
7 ‘Even if|strong="G2443" we|strong="G2443" spent a|strong="G2983" years’ wages on|strong="G2443" bread,’ answered Philip|strong="G5376", ‘it|strong="G2443" would|strong="G5100" not|strong="G3756" be|strong="G3756" enough for|strong="G2443" each|strong="G1538" of|strong="G5100" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2443" have|strong="G2983" a|strong="G2983" little|strong="G1024".’
8 ‘There|strong="G3004" is|strong="G3588" a|strong="G1520" boy here|strong="G1520",’ said|strong="G3004" Andrew, another|strong="G1520" of|strong="G1537" his|strong="G3588" disciples|strong="G3101", Simon|strong="G4613" Peter|strong="G4074"’s brother,
9 ‘Who|strong="G3739" has|strong="G2192" five|strong="G4002" barley|strong="G2916" loaves and|strong="G2532" two|strong="G1417" fish|strong="G3795"; but|strong="G2532" what|strong="G5101" is|strong="G1510" that|strong="G3739" for|strong="G1519" so|strong="G2532" many|strong="G5118"?’
10 ‘\+w Make|strong="G4160"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w people|strong="G1510"\+w* sit down,’ said|strong="G3004" Jesus|strong="G2424". It|strong="G1161" was|strong="G1510" a|strong="G5613" grassy spot; so|strong="G3767" the|strong="G1722" people|strong="G1510", who|strong="G3588" numbered about|strong="G5613" five|strong="G4000" thousand|strong="G4000", sat down,
11 and|strong="G2532" then|strong="G3767" Jesus|strong="G2424" took|strong="G2983" the|strong="G2532" loaves, and|strong="G2532", after|strong="G2532" saying the|strong="G2532" thanksgiving, distributed|strong="G1239" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2532" those|strong="G3588" who|strong="G3588" were|strong="G3588" sitting|strong="G2532" down|strong="G1537"; and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" same|strong="G3668" with|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" fish|strong="G3795", giving|strong="G1325" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2983" as|strong="G3745" much|strong="G3745" as|strong="G3745" they|strong="G2532" wanted|strong="G2309".
12 When|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" were|strong="G3588" satisfied, Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2443" his|strong="G5613" disciples|strong="G3101", ‘Collect \+w the|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w broken|strong="G2801"\+w* \+w pieces|strong="G2801"\+w* \+w that|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w are|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w left|strong="G4052"\+w*, \+w so|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w that|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w nothing|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w may|strong="G2443"\+w* \+w be|strong="G3361"\+w* wasted.’
13 The|strong="G2532" disciples|strong="G3588" did|strong="G2532" so|strong="G3767", and|strong="G2532" filled|strong="G1072" twelve|strong="G1427" baskets|strong="G2894" with|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" pieces|strong="G2801" of|strong="G1537" the|strong="G2532" five|strong="G4002" barley|strong="G2916" loaves, which|strong="G3739" were|strong="G3588" left|strong="G4052" after|strong="G2532" all|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" eaten.
14 When|strong="G2064" the|strong="G1519" people|strong="G1510" saw|strong="G3708" the|strong="G1519" signs|strong="G4592" which|strong="G3739" Jesus|strong="G3004" gave|strong="G4160", they|strong="G3588" said|strong="G3004", ‘This|strong="G3778" is|strong="G1510" certainly|strong="G3708" the|strong="G1519" prophet|strong="G4396" who|strong="G3739" was|strong="G1510" to|strong="G1519" come|strong="G2064" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" world|strong="G2889".’
15 But|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424", having|strong="G2532" discovered that|strong="G3754" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" intending|strong="G3195" to|strong="G1519" come|strong="G2064" and|strong="G2532" carry|strong="G4160" him|strong="G3588" off to|strong="G1519" make|strong="G4160" him|strong="G3588" king|strong="G3588", went|strong="G2064" again|strong="G3825" up|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" hill|strong="G3735", quite alone|strong="G3441".
16 When|strong="G1161" evening|strong="G3798" fell|strong="G1096", his|strong="G1909" disciples|strong="G3101" went|strong="G2597" down|strong="G2597" to|strong="G1909" the|strong="G1161" sea|strong="G2281",
17 and|strong="G2532", getting|strong="G1684" into|strong="G1519" a|strong="G1096" boat|strong="G4143", began|strong="G1096" to|strong="G1519" cross|strong="G4008" to|strong="G1519" Capernaum|strong="G2584". By|strong="G4314" this|strong="G3588" time|strong="G2235" darkness|strong="G4653" had|strong="G2424" set|strong="G2532" in|strong="G1519", and|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" had|strong="G2424" not|strong="G3768" yet|strong="G2532" come|strong="G2064" back|strong="G1519" to|strong="G1519" them|strong="G3588";
18 the|strong="G3588" sea|strong="G2281", too|strong="G3173", was|strong="G3588" getting rough, for a|strong="G5037" strong|strong="G3173" wind|strong="G4154" was|strong="G3588" blowing|strong="G4154".
19 When|strong="G5613" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2424" rowed|strong="G1643" three|strong="G1096" or|strong="G2228" four|strong="G5613" miles|strong="G4712", they|strong="G2532" caught sight|strong="G3588" of|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" walking|strong="G4043" on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" water and|strong="G2532" approaching|strong="G1451" the|strong="G2532" boat|strong="G4143", and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" frightened|strong="G5399".
20 But|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588", ‘\+w It|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w*; \+w do|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w be|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w afraid|strong="G5399"\+w*!’
21 And|strong="G2532" after|strong="G1909" this|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" glad to|strong="G1519" take|strong="G2983" him|strong="G3588" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" boat|strong="G4143"; and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" boat|strong="G4143" at|strong="G1909" once|strong="G3739" arrived|strong="G1096" off the|strong="G2532" shore|strong="G1093", for|strong="G1519" which|strong="G3739" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" been|strong="G1096" making|strong="G2532".
22 The|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3793" who|strong="G3588" remained|strong="G1510" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" other|strong="G4008" side|strong="G4008" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" sea|strong="G2281" had|strong="G2424" seen|strong="G3708" that|strong="G3754" only|strong="G3441" one|strong="G1520" boat|strong="G4143" had|strong="G2424" been|strong="G1510" there|strong="G1563", and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" Jesus|strong="G2424" had|strong="G2424" not|strong="G3756" gone into|strong="G1519" it|strong="G2532" with|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101", but|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2424" left without|strong="G3361" him|strong="G3588".
23 Some|strong="G3588" boats|strong="G4142", however, had|strong="G3588" come|strong="G2064" from|strong="G1537" Tiberias|strong="G5085", from|strong="G1537" near|strong="G1451" the|strong="G1537" spot where|strong="G3699" they|strong="G3588" had|strong="G3588" eaten|strong="G5315" the|strong="G1537" bread after|strong="G1537" the|strong="G1537" Master|strong="G2962" had|strong="G3588" said the|strong="G1537" thanksgiving.
24 So|strong="G3767", on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" next|strong="G2064" day|strong="G3588", when|strong="G3753" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3793" saw|strong="G3708" that|strong="G3754" Jesus|strong="G2424" was|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" there|strong="G1563", or|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101" either|strong="G3761", they|strong="G2532" themselves|strong="G1519" got|strong="G1684" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" boats|strong="G4142", and|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" Capernaum|strong="G2584" to|strong="G1519" look|strong="G3708" for|strong="G3754" him|strong="G3588".
25 And|strong="G2532", when|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" found|strong="G2147" him|strong="G3588" on|strong="G1096" the|strong="G2532" other|strong="G4008" side|strong="G4008" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" sea|strong="G2281", they|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘When|strong="G2532" did|strong="G2532" you|strong="G3004" get|strong="G1096" here|strong="G5602", Rabbi|strong="G4461"?’
