⁷Filip answerde to hym, The looues of tweyn hundrid pans sufficen not to hem, that ech man take a litil what.

⁸Oon of hise disciplis, Andrew, the brothir of Symount Petre,

⁹seith to him, A child is here, that hath fyue barli looues and twei fischis; but what ben these among so manye?

¹⁰Therfor Jhesus seith, Make ye hem sitte to the mete. And there was myche hey in the place. And so men saten to the mete, as `fyue thousynde in noumbre.

¹¹And Jhesus took fyue looues, and whanne he hadde do thankyngis, he departide to men that saten to the mete, and also of the fischis, as myche as thei wolden.

¹²And whanne thei weren fillid, he seide to hise disciplis, Gadir ye the relifs that ben left, that thei perischen not.

¹³And so thei gadriden, and filliden twelue cofyns of relif of the fyue barli looues and twei fischis, that lefte to hem that hadden etun.

¹⁴Therfor tho men, whanne thei hadden seyn the signe that he hadde don, seiden, For this is verili the profete, that is to come in to the world.

¹⁵And whanne Jhesus hadde knowun, that thei weren to come to take hym, and make hym kyng, he fleiy `aloone eft in to an hille.

¹⁶And whanne euentid was comun, his disciplis wenten doun to the see.

¹⁷And thei wenten vp in to a boot, and thei camen ouer the see in to Cafarnaum. And derknessis weren maad thanne, and Jhesus was not come to hem.

¹⁸And for a greet wynde blew, the see roos vp.

¹⁹Therfor whanne thei hadden rowid as fyue and twenti furlongis or thretti, thei seen Jhesus walkynge on the see, and to be neiy the boot; and thei dredden.

²⁰And he seide to hem, Y am; nyle ye drede.

²¹Therfor thei wolden take hym in to the boot, and anoon the boot was at the loond, to which thei wenten.

²²On `the tother dai the puple, that stood ouer the see, say, that ther was noon other boot there but oon, and that Jhesu entride not with hise disciplis in to the boot, but hise disciplis aloone wenten.

²³But othere bootis camen fro Tiberias bisidis the place, where thei hadden eetun breed, and diden thankyngis to God.

²⁴Therfor whanne the puple hadde seyn, that Jhesu was not there, nether hise disciplis, thei wenten vp in to bootis, and camen to Cafarnaum, sekynge Jhesu.

²⁵And whanne thei hadden foundun hym ouer the see, thei seiden to hym, Rabi, hou come thou hidur?

²⁶Jhesus answerde to hem, and seide, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, ye seken me, not for ye sayn the myraclis, but for ye eten of looues, and weren fillid.
