17. They answered him, "We have nothing here, except five loaves and two fish."
18. He said to them, "Bring them here to me."
19. And when he had ordered the multitude to sit down upon the grass, he took the five loaves and the two fish, and gazing up to heaven, he blessed and broke and gave the bread to the disciples, and then the disciples to the multitudes.
20. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up the remnants: twelve baskets full of fragments.
21. Now the number of those who ate was five thousand men, besides women and children.
22. And Jesus promptly compelled his disciples to climb into the boat, and to precede him in crossing the sea, while he dismissed the crowds.
23. And having dismissed the multitude, he ascended alone onto a mountain to pray. And when evening arrived, he was alone there.
24. But in the midst of the sea, the boat was being tossed about by the waves. For the wind was against them.
25. Then, in the fourth watch of the night, he came to them, walking upon the sea.
26. And seeing him walking upon the sea, they were disturbed, saying: "It must be an apparition." And they cried out, because of fear.
27. And immediately, Jesus spoke to them, saying: "Have faith. It is I. Do not be afraid."
28. Then Peter responded by saying, "Lord, if it is you, order me come to you over the waters."
29. And he said, "Come." And Peter, descending from the boat, walked over the water, so as to go to Jesus.
30. Yet truly, seeing that the wind was strong, he was afraid. And as he began to sink, he cried out, saying: "Lord, save me."
