St John 6:9-18 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

9. There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; but what are these among so many?

10. Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

11. And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.

12. And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.

13. They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.

14. Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.

15. Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.

16. And when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea.

17. And when they had gone up into a ship, they went over the sea to Capharnaum; and it was now dark, and Jesus was not come unto them.

18. And the sea arose, by reason of a great wind that blew.
