18. But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Bring them here to me.
19. And having commanded the multitudes to recline on the grass [as at tish] and having taken the five loaves and the two dagim, and having looked up to Shomayim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said a bracha over the okhel, and having offered the betziat halechem (the breaking of the bread), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave the lechem to the talmidim, and Moshiach's talmidim served the lechem to the multitudes
20. And everyone ate and they were satisfied, and they took away shirayim (Rebbe's remainders, leftovers), shneym asar (twelve) baskets full.
21. And the ones eating were about chamesh elafim (five thousand) men, apart from the nashim and yeladim.
22. And immediately Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach compelled the talmidim to board a sirah (boat) and to go on ahead of him to the other side until he might send away the multitudes.
23. And having sent away the multitudes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to the mountain by himself to daven. Now when erev had come, he was alone there.
24. Now the sirah (boat), being tossed by the waves (for the wind was against them), was by this time many stadia distant from the land.
25. Now in the fourth watch of the night (between three o'oclock and six o'clock in the morning), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach came to them, walking on the lake.
26. But Moshiach's talmidim, having seen him walking on the lake, were terribly shaken, saying, It is a ruach refaim (an apparition)! From pachad they cried out.
27. And immediately Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach spoke to them, saying, Chazak! Ani Hu. (I am he, SHEMOT 3:14) Do not be afraid.
