19He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
20They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
21Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat, and to go ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23After he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. When evening had come, he was there alone.
24But the boat was now in the midst of the sea, distressed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.
