Mark 6:30-52

³⁰And the apostles came together to Jesus, and told to him all (the) things, that they had done, and taught.

³¹And he said to them, Come ye by yourselves into a desert place; and rest ye a little. For there were many that came, and went again, and they had not space for to eat (or and they had no time even to eat).

³²And they went into a boat, and went into a desert place by themselves.

³³And they saw them go away (or And the people saw them go away), and many knew, and they went afoot from all (the) cities, and ran together thither, and came before them.

³⁴And Jesus went out, and saw much people, and had ruth or mercy on them, (or and had compassion for them), for they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

³⁵And when it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and the time is now passed;

³⁶let them go into the next towns and villages, to buy them(selves) meat to eat (or to buy themselves some food to eat).

³⁷And he answered, and said to them, Give ye (something) to them for to eat. And they said to him, Go we, and buy we loaves with two hundred pence, and (then) we shall give (something) to them for to eat.

³⁸And he saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go ye, and see. And when they had known, they say, Five, and two fishes.

³⁹And he commanded to them, that they should make all men sit to meat by companies (or that they should make everyone to sit down for the meal in groups), on the green hay.

⁴⁰And they sat down by parts or (in) parties, by hundreds, and by fifties.

⁴¹And when he had taken the five loaves, and two fishes, he beheld into heaven, and blessed (or and gave thanks), and brake the loaves, and gave (them) to his disciples, (so) that they should set (them) before them. And he parted (the) two fishes to all (or And he divided the two fish among all the people);

⁴²and all ate, and were full-filled. and all ate, and were fulfilled. (and all ate, and were filled full.)

⁴³And they took (up) the remnants of broken meats, twelve coffins full, and of the fishes. (And they gathered up the remaining pieces of food, that is, of the bread and the fish, twelve baskets full.)

⁴⁴And they that ate, were five thousand of men.

⁴⁵And anon he made his disciples to go up into a boat, to pass before him over the sea to Bethsaida, while he left the people. (And at once he made his disciples to go up into a boat, to cross over the lake to Bethsaida ahead of him, while he let the people go, or while he dismissed the people.)

⁴⁶And when he had left them, he went into an high hill, to pray. (And when he had dismissed them, or had let them go, he went up onto a high hill, or a mountain, to pray.)

⁴⁷And when it was even(ing), the boat was in the middle or in the midst of the sea, and he alone in the land (or and he was alone on the land);

⁴⁸and he saw them travailing in rowing; for the wind was contrary to them. And about the fourth waking of the night, he wandering on the sea, came to them, and would pass (by) them. (and he saw them labouring, or struggling, with the rowing; for the wind was contrary to them. And about the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking on the lake, and would pass by them.)

⁴⁹And as they saw him wandering on the sea (or And as they saw him walking on the lake), they guessed that it were a phantom, and cried out;

⁵⁰for (they) all saw him, and they were afraid, or and they were troubled, or disturbed. And anon he spake with them, and said to them, Trust ye, I am (he); do not ye dread, (or And at once he spoke with them, and said to them, Have trust, it is me; do not fear).

⁵¹And he came up to them into the boat, and the wind ceased. And they wondered more within themselves;

⁵²for they understood not of the loaves; for their heart was blinded.
