Marcos 6
Grunewald-Ubersetzung
1Er ging von dort hinweg und kam in seine Vaterstadt, und seine Jünger begleiteten ihn.
2Als es wieder Sabbat war, lehrte er in der Synagoge, und viele, die ihn hörten, fragten voll Erstaunen: "Woher mag er all dies haben? Welche Weisheit ward ihm verliehen! Welch große Wunder geschehen durch seine Hände!
3Ist das nicht der Zimmermann, der Sohn der Maria und der Bruder des Jakobus, Joses, Judas und des Simon? Und wohnen denn nicht seine Schwestern hier bei uns?" So nahm man an ihm Anstoß.
4Doch Jesus sprach zu ihnen: "Ein Prophet gilt nirgends weniger als in seiner Vaterstadt, bei seinen eigenen Verwandten und in seinem Vaterhause."
5Er konnte dort kein einziges Wunder wirken; nur daß er einigen Kranken die Hand auflegte und sie heilte.
6Und er wunderte sich wegen ihres Unglaubens. Und lehrend zog er durch die Dörfer ringsumher.
7Alsdann rief er die Zwölf zu sich und begann, sie auszusenden, zu je zweien; auch gab er ihnen Macht über unreine Geister.
8Weiter gebot er ihnen, nichts mitzunehmen auf den Weg als einen Stab, kein Brot und keinen Bettelsack und keine Münze im Gürtel.
9Doch dürften sie Sandalen tragen, aber nicht zwei Röcke.
10Ferner sprach er zu ihnen: "Betretet ihr irgendwo ein Haus, dann bleibt dort, bis ihr weiterzieht.
11Doch wo man euch nicht aufnimmt und auf euch nicht hört, da geht weg von dort und schüttelt den Staub von euren Füßen ihnen zum Zeugnis."
12So zogen sie nun hin und predigten, man solle Buße tun.
13Sie trieben viele Geister aus, salbten viele Kranke mit Öl und heilten sie.
14Die Kunde drang auch zum König Herodes; war doch sein Name in aller Mund. Er sprach: "Johannes der Täufer ist von den Toten auferstanden. Darum wirken in ihm Gottes Kräfte."
15Doch andere behaupteten, er sei Elias; und wieder andere, er sei ein Prophet, wie einer aus den früheren Propheten.
16Herodes aber meinte, als er davon hörte: "Johannes, den ich habe enthaupten lassen, ist wieder von den Toten auferstanden."
17Eben der Herodes hatte nämlich den Johannes gefangennehmen lassen und im Gefängnis ihn verwahrt wegen der Herodias, dem Weibe des Philippus, seines Bruders, die er geheiratet hatte.
18Denn Johannes hatte dem Herodes vorgehalten: "Es ist dir nicht erlaubt, das Weib deines Bruders zu haben."
19Darum war die Herodias auf ihn erbost und hätte ihn gern töten lassen; sie brachte es aber nicht zuwege.
20Herodes hatte nämlich vor Johannes Ehrfurcht; er wußte, daß er ein gerechter und heiliger Mann war. So nahm er ihn in Schutz. Wenn er ihn anhörte, geriet er oft in Zwiespalt mit sich selbst, und trotzdem hörte er ihn gern.
21Da kam ein sehr gelegener Tag. An seinem Geburtsfest gab Herodes seinen Würdenträgern, den Obersten und Vornehmsten in Galiläa ein Mahl.
22Da trat die Tochter eben der Herodias herein und tanzte. Und dies gefiel Herodes und den Gästen so, daß der König zu dem Mädchen sprach: "Erbitte von mir, was du willst; ich werde es dir geben."
23Ja, er schwur ihr: "Was du von mir verlangst, will ich dir geben, und sollte es auch die Hälfte meines Reiches sein."
24Sie ging hinaus und fragte ihre Mutter: "Was soll ich verlangen?" Und diese sagte: "Den Kopf Johannes des Täufers."
25Alsdann trat sie voll Eifer vor den König hin und bat: "Ich will, laß mir sogleich auf einer Schüssel den Kopf Johannes des Täufers geben.
26Da ward der König tief bestürzt; jedoch seiner Schwüre und der Gäste wegen wollte er sie nicht abweisen.
27Der König schickte sogleich einen Henker weg mit dem Befehl, seinen Kopf zu bringen. Der ging hinweg und enthauptete ihn im Gefängnis
28und brachte seinen Kopf auf einer Schüssel, gab ihn dem Mädchen, und das Mädchen gab ihn seiner Mutter.
29Als seine Jünger davon hörten, kamen sie und holten seinen Leichnam und bargen ihn in einem Grabe.
30Nun kehrten die Apostel wiederum zu Jesus zurück und erzählten ihm alles, was sie gewirkt und gepredigt hatten.
31Er sprach zu ihnen: "Kommt mit, ihr ganz allein, an einen abgelegenen Ort und ruht euch ein wenig aus." Denn viele gingen ab und zu, so daß sie nicht einmal Zeit zum Essen hatten.
32Sie fuhren also für sich allein in einem Boot an einen abgelegenen Ort.
33Doch viele sahen, wie sie von dannen gingen, und erkannten ihre Absicht. Aus allen Städten strömten sie dorthin zu Fuß zusammen und kamen noch vor ihnen an.
34Er stieg aus und sah die große Menge, und er empfand ein herzliches Erbarmen über sie; sie waren wie Schafe ohne Hirten. Und er begann, sie mancherlei zu lehren.
35Als es schon spät geworden war, traten seine Jünger zu ihm hin und sprachen: "Einsam ist der Ort und auch die Zeit schon vorgerückt.
36Entlaß sie! Sie mögen in die Dörfer und die Flecken hier im Umkreis gehen und Nahrung für sich kaufen."
37Er aber sprach zu ihnen: "Gebt ihr ihnen zu essen!" Da sagten sie zu ihm: "Sollen wir denn gehen und Brot für zweihundert Zehner kaufen und ihnen dann zu essen geben?"
38Er fragte sie: "Wieviel Brote habt ihr? Geht und seht nach!" Sie sahen nach und sagten: "Fünf, und zwei Fische."
39Dann ließ er alle in Gruppen auf dem grünen Rasen sich lagern.
40Sie ließen sich nun Reih' an Reihe nieder, zu je hundert und je fünfzig.
41Dann nahm er die fünf Brote und die zwei Fische; er sah zum Himmel auf, segnete und brach die Brote und gab sie den Jüngern, um sie ihnen vorzulegen. Auch die zwei Fische ließ er unter alle verteilen.
42Und alle aßen und wurden satt;
43ja, noch zwölf Körbe trugen sie hinweg, voll mit Stücken, auch von den Fischen.
44Derer, die gegessen hatten, waren es fünftausend Männer.
45Sogleich drängte er die Jünger, in das Boot zu steigen und an das andere Ufer nach Bethsaida weiterzufahren, ihm voraus, während er selbst die Scharen entlassen wollte.
46Und er entließ sie und stieg auf einen Berg, um zu beten.
47Es war schon spät; das Boot war mitten auf dem Meer und er allein noch an Land.
48Er sah, wie sie im Dahinfahren hart bedrängt waren; sie hatten nämlich Gegenwind. Da, um die vierte Nachtwache, kam er zu ihnen auf dem Meer daher. Er wollte an ihnen vorübergehen.
49Sie sahen ihn, wie er auf dem Meer wandelte, und meinten, es sei ein Gespenst, und schrien laut auf.
50Denn alle sahen ihn und erschraken. Doch alsbald redete er sie an und sprach zu ihnen: "Nur Mut! Ich bin es. Habt keine Angst!"
51Dann stieg er zu ihnen ins Boot, und sogleich legte sich der Wind. Jetzt gerieten sie erst recht ganz außer sich;
52das mit den Broten nämlich hatten sie noch nicht verstanden; ihr Sinn war immer noch verschlossen.
53Sie fuhren vollends hinüber und kamen bei Genesareth ans Land.
54Und wie sie aus dem Boote stiegen, ward er sofort erkannt.
55Man lief die ganze Gegend aus und trug voll Eifer Kranke auf Betten dahin, wo sie hörten, daß er sei.
56Wo immer er Dörfer, Städte oder Gehöfte betrat, da legte man die Kranken auf die Plätze und bat ihn, sie möchten nur den Saum seines Kleides berühren dürfen. Und alle, die ihn berührten, wurden gesund.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y SALIÓ de allí, y vino á su tierra, y le siguieron sus discípulos.
2Y llegado el sábado, comenzó á enseñar en la sinagoga; y muchos oyéndole, estaban atónitos, diciendo: ¿De dónde tiene éste estas cosas? ¿Y qué sabiduría es ésta que le es dada, y tales maravillas que por sus manos son hechas?
3¿No es éste el carpintero, hijo de María, hermano de Jacobo, y de José, y de Judas, y de Simón? ¿No están también aquí con nosotros, sus hermanas? Y se escandalizaban en él.
4Mas Jesús les decía: No hay profeta deshonrado sino en su tierra, y entre sus parientes, y en su casa.
5Y no pudo hacer allí alguna maravilla; solamente sanó unos pocos enfermos, poniendo sobre ellos las manos.
6Y estaba maravillado de la incredulidad de ellos. Y rodeaba las aldeas de alrededor, enseñando.
7Y llamó á los doce, y comenzó á enviarlos de dos en dos: y les dió potestad sobre los espíritus inmundos.
8Y les mandó que no llevasen nada para el camino, sino solamente báculo; no alforja, ni pan, ni dinero en la bolsa;
9Mas que calzasen sandalias, y no vistiesen dos túnicas.
10Y les decía: Donde quiera que entréis en una casa, posad en ella hasta que salgáis de allí.
11Y todos aquellos que no os recibieren ni os oyeren, saliendo de allí, sacudid el polvo que está debajo de vuestros pies, en testimonio á ellos. De cierto os digo que más tolerable será el castigo de los de Sodoma y Gomorra el día del juicio, que el de aquella ciudad.
12Y saliendo, predicaban que los hombres se arrepintiesen.
13Y echaban fuera muchos demonios, y ungían con aceite á muchos enfermos, y sanaban.
14Y oyó el rey Herodes la fama de Jesús, porque su nombre se había hecho notorio; y dijo: Juan el que bautizaba, ha resucitado de los muertos, y por tanto, virtudes obran en él.
15Otros decían: Elías es. Y otros decían: Profeta es, ó alguno de los profetas.
16Y oyéndolo Herodes, dijo: Este es Juan el que yo degollé: él ha resucitado de los muertos.
17Porque el mismo Herodes había enviado, y prendido á Juan, y le había aprisionado en la cárcel á causa de Herodías, mujer de Felipe su hermano; pues la había tomado por mujer.
18Porque Juan decía á Herodes: No te es lícito tener la mujer de tu hermano.
19Mas Herodías le acechaba, y deseaba matarle, y no podía:
20Porque Herodes temía á Juan, sabiendo que era varón justo y santo, y le tenía respeto: y oyéndole, hacía muchas cosas; y le oía de buena gana.
21Y venido un día oportuno, en que Herodes, en la fiesta de su nacimiento, daba una cena á sus príncipes y tribunos, y á los principales de Galilea;
22Y entrando la hija de Herodías, y danzando, y agradando á Herodes y á los que estaban con él á la mesa, el rey dijo á la muchacha: Pídeme lo que quisieres, que yo te lo daré.
23Y le juró: Todo lo que me pidieres te daré, hasta la mitad de mi reino.
24Y saliendo ella, dijo á su madre: ¿Qué pediré? Y ella dijo: La cabeza de Juan Bautista.
25Entonces ella entró prestamente al rey, y pidió, diciendo: Quiero que ahora mismo me des en un plato la cabeza de Juan Bautista.
26Y el rey se entristeció mucho; mas á causa del juramento, y de los que estaban con él á la mesa, no quiso desecharla.
27Y luego el rey, enviando uno de la guardia, mandó que fuese traída su cabeza;
28El cual fué, y le degolló en la cárcel, y trajo su cabeza en un plato, y la dió á la muchacha, y la muchacha la dió á su madre.
29Y oyéndolo sus discípulos, vinieron y tomaron su cuerpo, y le pusieron en un sepulcro.
30Y los apóstoles se juntaron con Jesús, y le contaron todo lo que habían hecho, y lo que habían enseñado.
31Y él les dijo: Venid vosotros aparte al lugar desierto, y reposad un poco. Porque eran muchos los que iban y venían, que ni aun tenían lugar de comer.
32Y se fueron en un barco al lugar desierto aparte.
33Y los vieron ir muchos, y le conocieron; y concurrieron allá muchos á pie de las ciudades, y llegaron antes que ellos, y se juntaron á él.
34Y saliendo Jesús vió grande multitud, y tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas que no tenían pastor; y les comenzó á enseñar muchas cosas.
35Y como ya fuese el día muy entrado, sus discípulos llegaron á él, diciendo: El lugar es desierto, y el día ya muy entrado;
36Envíalos para que vayan á los cortijos y aldeas de alrededor, y compren para sí pan; porque no tienen qué comer.
37Y respondiendo él, les dijo: Dadles de comer vosotros. Y le dijeron: ¿Que vayamos y compremos pan por doscientos denarios, y les demos de comer?
38Y él les dice: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Id, y vedlo. Y sabiéndolo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces.
39Y les mandó que hiciesen recostar á todos por partidas sobre la hierba verde.
40Y se recostaron por partidas, de ciento en ciento, y de cincuenta en cincuenta.
41Y tomados los cinco panes y los dos peces, mirando al cielo, bendijo, y partió los panes, y dió á sus discípulos para que los pusiesen delante: y repartió á todos los dos peces.
42Y comieron todos, y se hartaron.
43Y alzaron de los pedazos doce cofines llenos, y de los peces.
44Y los que comieron eran cinco mil hombres.
45Y luego dió priesa á sus discípulos á subir en el barco, é ir delante de él á Bethsaida de la otra parte, entre tanto que él despedía la multitud.
46Y después que los hubo despedido, se fué al monte á orar.
47Y como fué la tarde, el barco estaba en medio de la mar, y él solo en tierra.
48Y los vió fatigados bogando, porque el viento les era contrario: y cerca de la cuarta vigilia de la noche, vino á ellos andando sobre la mar, y quería precederlos.
49Y viéndole ellos, que andaba sobre la mar, pensaron que era fantasma, y dieron voces;
50Porque todos le veían, y se turbaron. Mas luego habló con ellos, y les dijo: Alentaos; yo soy, no temáis.
51Y subió á ellos en el barco, y calmó el viento: y ellos en gran manera estaban fuera de sí, y se maravillaban:
52Porque aun no habían considerado lo de los panes, por cuanto estaban ofuscados sus corazones.
53Y cuando estuvieron de la otra parte, vinieron á tierra de Genezaret, y tomaron puerto.
54Y saliendo ellos del barco, luego le conocieron.
55Y recorriendo toda la tierra de alrededor, comenzaron á traer de todas partes enfermos en lechos, á donde oían que estaba.
56Y donde quiera que entraba, en aldeas, ó ciudades, ó heredades, ponían en las calles á los que estaban enfermos, y le rogaban que tocasen siquiera el borde de su vestido; y todos los que le tocaban quedaban sanos.
King James Version
1And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
2And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
3Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
4But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
6And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
7And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
8And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:
9But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
10And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
11And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
12And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
13And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
14And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
15Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
17For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife: for he had married her.
18For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother’s wife.
19Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
20For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.
21And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
22And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee.
23And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom.
24And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist.
25And she came in straightway with haste unto the king, and asked, saying, I will that thou give me by and by in a charger the head of John the Baptist.
26And the king was exceeding sorry; yet for his oath’s sake, and for their sakes which sat with him, he would not reject her.
27And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28And brought his head in a charger, and gave it to the damsel: and the damsel gave it to her mother.
29And when his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
30And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
33And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
34And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
35And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
42And they did all eat, and were filled.
43And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
45And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people.
46And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray.
47And when even was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the land.
48And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed by them.
49But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out:
50For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
51And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.
52For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their heart was hardened.
53And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to the shore.
54And when they were come out of the ship, straightway they knew him,
55And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
56And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.
World English Bible
1He went out from there. He came into his own country, and his disciples followed him.
2When the Sabbath had come, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many hearing him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things?” and, “What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
3Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?” So they were offended at him.
4Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor, except in his own country, and among his own relatives, and in his own house.”
5He could do no mighty work there, except that he laid his hands on a few sick people and healed them.
6He marveled because of their unbelief. He went around the villages teaching.
7He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits.
8He commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse,
9but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.
10He said to them, “Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there.
11Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”
12They went out and preached that people should repent.
13They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick and healed them.
14King Herod heard this, for his name had become known, and he said, “John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, and therefore these powers are at work in him.”
15But others said, “He is Elijah.” Others said, “He is a prophet, or like one of the prophets.”
16But Herod, when he heard this, said, “This is John, whom I beheaded. He has risen from the dead.”
17For Herod himself had sent out and arrested John and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her.
18For John had said to Herod, “It is not lawful for you to have your brother’s wife.”
19Herodias set herself against him and desired to kill him, but she couldn’t,
20for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and kept him safe. When he heard him, he did many things, and he heard him gladly.
21Then a convenient day came when Herod on his birthday made a supper for his nobles, the high officers, and the chief men of Galilee.
22When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, “Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you.”
23He swore to her, “Whatever you ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”
24She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask?” She said, “The head of John the Baptizer.”
25She came in immediately with haste to the king and requested, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptizer on a platter.”
26The king was exceedingly sorry, but for the sake of his oaths and of his dinner guests, he didn’t wish to refuse her.
27Immediately the king sent out a soldier of his guard and commanded to bring John’s head; and he went and beheaded him in the prison,
28and brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the young lady; and the young lady gave it to her mother.
29When his disciples heard this, they came and took up his corpse and laid it in a tomb.
30The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught.
31He said to them, “Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
33They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him.
34Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, “This place is deserted, and it is late in the day.
36Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat.”
37But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”
38He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go see.” When they knew, they said, “Five, and two fish.”
39He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass.
40They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
41He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all.
42They all ate and were filled.
43They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish.
44Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
45Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he himself sent the multitude away.
46After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.
47When evening had come, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on the land.
48Seeing them distressed in rowing, for the wind was contrary to them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have passed by them,
49but they, when they saw him walking on the sea, supposed that it was a ghost, and cried out;
50for they all saw him and were troubled. But he immediately spoke with them and said to them, “Cheer up! It is I! Don’t be afraid.”
51He got into the boat with them; and the wind ceased, and they were very amazed among themselves, and marveled;
52for they hadn’t understood about the loaves, but their hearts were hardened.
53When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret and moored to the shore.
54When they had come out of the boat, immediately the people recognized him,
55and ran around that whole region, and began to bring those who were sick on their mats to where they heard he was.
56Wherever he entered—into villages, or into cities, or into the country—they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might just touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched him were made well.
