15. And when evening came, His taught ones came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds, so that they might go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16. But יהושע said to them, “They do not need to go away, give them to eat yourselves.”
17. And they said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.”
18. And He said, “Bring them here to Me.”
19. And commanding the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to the heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the taught ones. And the taught ones gave to the crowds,
20. and all ate and were satisfied. And they picked up the pieces left over – twelve baskets, filled.
21. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22. And immediately יהושע made His taught ones enter into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.
23. And having dismissed the crowds, He went up to the mountain by Himself to pray. And when evening had come, He was alone there.
24. But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, agitated by the waves, for the wind was against it.
25. And in the fourth watch of the night יהושע went to them, walking on the sea.
26. And when the taught ones saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a phantom!” And from fear they cried.
27. But immediately יהושע spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid.”
28. And Kĕpha answered Him and said, “Master, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29. And He said, “Come.” And when Kĕpha had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to יהושע.
