1About this time Herod the ruler heard the news about Jesus
2and told his officials, “This is John the Baptist! He has come back from death, and that's why he has the power to work these miracles.”
3-4 to go to some place where he could be alone. But the crowds found out and followed him on foot from the towns.
14When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw the large crowd. He felt sorry for them and healed everyone who was sick.
15That evening the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This place is like a desert, and it's already late. Let the crowds leave, so they can go to the villages and buy some food.”
16Jesus replied, “They don't have to leave. Why don't you give them something to eat?”
17But they said, “We have only five small loaves of bread and two fish.”
18Jesus asked his disciples to bring the food to him,
19and he told the crowd to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven and blessed the food. Then he broke the bread and handed it to his disciples, and they gave it to the people.
20After everyone had eaten all they wanted, Jesus' disciples picked up twelve large baskets of leftovers.
21There were about 5,000 men who ate, not counting the women and children.
Jesus Walks on the Water(Mark 6.45-52; John 6.15-21)22At once, Jesus made his disciples get into a boat and start back across the lake. But he stayed until he had sent the crowds away.
23Then he went up on a mountain where he could be alone and pray. Later in the evening, he was still there.
24By this time the boat was a long way from the shore. It was going against the wind and was being tossed around by the waves.
25A little while before morning, Jesus came walking on the water toward his disciples.
26When they saw him, they thought he was a ghost. They were terrified and started screaming.
27At once, Jesus said to them, “Don't worry! I am Jesus. Don't be afraid.”
28Peter replied, “Lord, if it really is you, tell me to come to you on the water.”
29“Come on!” Jesus said. Peter then got out of the boat and started walking on the water toward him.
30But when Peter saw how strong the wind was, he was afraid and started sinking. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted.
31At once, Jesus reached out his hand. He helped Peter up and said, “You surely don't have much faith. Why do you doubt?”
32When Jesus and Peter got into the boat, the wind died down.
33The men in the boat worshiped Jesus and said, “You really are the Son of God!”
Jesus Heals Sick People in Gennesaret(Mark 6.53-56)34Jesus and his disciples crossed the lake and came to shore near the town of Gennesaret.
35The people found out he was there, and they sent word to everyone who lived in this part of the country. So they brought all the sick people to Jesus.
36They begged him just to let them touch his clothes, and everyone who did was healed.
