2. And a large crowd was following Him, because they saw His signs which He did on those who were sick.
3. And יהושע went up on a mountain, and there He sat down with His taught ones.
4. And the Passover was near, the festival of the Yehuḏim.
5. Then יהושע, lifting up His eyes and seeing a large crowd coming toward Him, said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for them to eat?”
6. And this He said, trying him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
7. Philip answered Him, “Two hundred pieces of silver worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for every one of them to receive a little.”
8. One of His taught ones, Andri, the brother of Shim‛on Kĕpha, said to Him,
9. “Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but what are these for so many?”
10. And יהושע said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place, and the men, numbering about five thousand, sat down.
11. And יהושע took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the taught ones, and the taught ones to those sitting down. And the same with the fish, as much as they wished.
12. And when they were filled, He said to His taught ones, “Gather the broken pieces that are left over, so that none gets wasted.”
13. So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
14. Then the men, having seen the sign that יהושע did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is coming to the world.”
15. Then יהושע, knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him sovereign, withdrew again to the mountain, alone by Himself.
16. And when evening came, His taught ones went down to the sea,
17. and entering into the boat, they were going over the sea toward Kephar Naḥum. And it had already become dark, and יהושע had not yet come to them.
18. And the sea was rising because a great wind was blowing.
19. When they had rowed about five or six kilometres, they saw יהושע walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.
