30 And the apostles coming together unto Jesus, related to him all things that they had done and taught.
30
The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.
31 And he said to them: Come apart into a desert place, and rest a little. For there were many coming and going: and they had not so much as time to eat.
31
Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, “Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.”
32 And going up into a ship, they went into a desert place apart.
32
So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
33 And they saw them going away, and many knew: and they ran flocking thither foot from all the cities, and were there before them.
33
But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
34 And Jesus going out saw a great multitude: and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
34
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past:
35
By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. “This is a remote place,” they said, “and it’s already very late.
36 Send them away, that going into the next villages and towns, they may buy themselves meat to eat.
36
Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 And he answering said to them: Give you them to eat. And they said to him: Let us go and buy bread for two hundred pence, and we will give them to eat.
37
But he answered, “You give them something to eat.”They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s wages ! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?”
38 And he saith to them: How many loaves have you? go and see. And when they knew, they say: Five, and two fishes.
38
“How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.”When they found out, they said, “Five—and two fish.”
39 And he commanded them that they should make them all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
39
Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties.
40
So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41 And when he had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes: looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and the two fishes he divided among them all.
41
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.
42 And they all did eat, and had their fill.
42
They all ate and were satisfied,
43 And they took up the leavings, twelve full baskets of fragments, and of the fishes.
43
and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
44 And they that did eat, were five thousand men.
44
The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
45 And immediately he obliged his disciples to go up into the ship, that they might go before him over the water to Bethsaida, whilst he dismissed the people.
45
Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.
46 And when he had dismissed them, he went up to the mountain to pray,
46
After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray.
47 And when it was late, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and himself alone on the land.
47
Later that night, the boat was in the middle of the lake, and he was alone on land.
48 And seeing them labouring in rowing, (for the wind was against them,) and about the fourth watch of the night, he cometh to them walking upon the sea, and he would have passed by them.
48
He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them,
49 But they seeing him walking upon the sea, thought it was an apparition, and they cried out.
49
but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out,
50 For they all saw him, and were troubled bled. And immediately he spoke with them, and said to them: Have a good heart, it is I, fear ye not.
50
because they all saw him and were terrified. Immediately he spoke to them and said, “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
51 And he went up to them into the ship, and the wind ceased: and they were far more astonished within themselves:
51
Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. They were completely amazed,
52 For they understood not concerning the loaves; for their heart was blinded.
52
for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.
