| 9“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?” | 9"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?" |
| 10Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. | 10Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. |
| 11And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. | 11Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted. |
| 12So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.” | 12When they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost." |
| 13Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. | 13So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. |

| 17got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. | 17and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. |
| 18Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. | 18The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing. |

| 20But He said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” | 20But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." |
| 21Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going. | 21So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going. |
| 22On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone— | 22The next day the crowd that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone. |
| 23however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks— | 23There came other small boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. |
| 24when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. | 24So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus. |
| 25And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You come here?” | 25When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You get here?" |

| 28Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” | 28Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?" |
| 29Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” | 29Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent." |
| 30Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? | 30So they said to Him, "What then do You do for a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform? |
