8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up.
9“There's a boy here who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish, but what good is that when there are so many people?”
10“Have everybody sit down,” Jesus said. There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down, the men numbering around five thousand.
11Jesus took the bread, gave thanks, and had it handed out to the people as they sat there. Then he did the same with the fishes, making sure the people had as much as they wanted.
12Once they were all full, he said to his disciples, “Collect what's left over so nothing is wasted.”
13So they collected and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves the people had eaten.
14When the people saw this miracle, they said, “Surely this is the Prophet who was to come into the world.”
15Jesus realized that they were about to force him to become their king, so he left them and went up into the hills to be by himself.
16When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17climbed into a boat, and headed across the water towards Capernaum. By now it was night and Jesus had not joined them yet.
18A strong wind began blowing and the sea grew rough.
19When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, coming towards the boat. They were very frightened.
20“Don't be afraid!” he told them. “It's me.”
21Then they gladly took him into the boat, and immediately they reached the shore where they were going.
22The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea noticed that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but they had left without him.
23Then other boats arrived from Tiberias, landing near to the place where they'd eaten the bread once the Lord had blessed it.
24Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went over to Capernaum, looking for Jesus.
