and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
(21)And they who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and
children.

(22)And straightway he constrained his disciples to enter into the
ship, and to go before him to the other side, while he dismissed the
multitudes.

(23)And having dismissed the multitudes, he went up into the mountain
apart to pray; and when evening was come, he was there alone. (24)But
the ship was already in the midst of the sea, vexed by the waves; for
the wind was contrary. (25)And in the fourth watch of the night he
went to them, walking on the sea. (26)And the disciples, seeing him

that they might only touch the fringe of his garment; and as many as
touched were made whole.

THEN there come to Jesus the scribes and Pharisees from Jerusalem,
saying: (2)Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the
elders? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread. (3)And he

God, for the sake of your tradition? (4)For God commanded,
saying[15:4]: Honor thy father and mother; and he that curses father
or mother, let him surely die. (5)But ye say: Whoever says to his
