35. On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side."
36. And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him.
37. A great wind storm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped.
38. But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"
39. He woke up and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, "Peace! Be still!" Then the wind ceased, and there was a dead calm.
40. He said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?"
41. And they were filled with great awe and
said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind
and the sea obey him?"
30. The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.
31. He said to them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.
32. And they went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves.
33. Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.
34. As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35. When it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is now very late;
36. send them away so that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy something for themselves to eat."
37. But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?"
38. And he said to them, "How many loaves have you? Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."
39. Then he ordered them to get all the people to sit down in groups on the green grass.
40. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties.
41. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.
42. And all ate and were filled;
43. and they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.
44. Those who had eaten the loaves numbered
five thousand men.
24. From there Jesus set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape notice,
25. but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet.
26. Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27. He said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs."
28. But she answered him, "Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
29. Then he said to her, "For saying that, you may go -- the demon has left your daughter."
30. So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and the demon gone.
