And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

13 O uvindo o que havia ocorrido, Jesus retirou-se de barco, em particular, para um lugar deserto. As multidões, ao ouvirem falar disso, saíram das cidades e o seguiram a pé.

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

16 R espondeu Jesus: “Eles não precisam ir. Dêem-lhes vocês algo para comer”.

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

17 E les lhe disseram: “Tudo o que temos aqui são cinco pães e dois peixes”.

And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

18 “ Tragam-nos aqui para mim”, disse ele.

He said, Bring them hither to me.

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

22 L ogo em seguida, Jesus insistiu com os discípulos para que entrassem no barco e fossem adiante dele para o outro lado, enquanto ele despedia a multidão.

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

23 T endo despedido a multidão, subiu sozinho a um monte para orar. Ao anoitecer, ele estava ali sozinho,

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

24 m as o barco já estava a considerável distância da terra, fustigado pelas ondas, porque o vento soprava contra ele.

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

27 M as Jesus imediatamente lhes disse: “Coragem! Sou eu. Não tenham medo!”

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

28 “ Senhor”, disse Pedro, “se és tu, manda-me ir ao teu encontro por sobre as águas”.

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29 “ Venha”, respondeu ele. Então Pedro saiu do barco, andou sobre as águas e foi na direção de Jesus.

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

30 M as, quando reparou no vento, ficou com medo e, começando a afundar, gritou: “Senhor, salva-me!”

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

31 I mediatamente Jesus estendeu a mão e o segurou. E disse: “Homem de pequena fé, por que você duvidou?”

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

32 Q uando entraram no barco, o vento cessou.

And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
