After these things - This is a sort of indefinite expression, from which me can gather nothing relative to the time in which these things happened. It refers no doubt to transactions in the preceding year.
Jesus went over the sea of Galilee - Or, as some translate the words, by the side of the sea of Galilee. From Luke, Luk 9:10, we learn that this was a desert place in the vicinity of Bethsaida. The sea of Galilee, Genesaret, and Tiberias, are the same in the New Testament with the sea of Cinnereth in the Old. Tiberias was a city in Galilee, situated on the western side of the lake. See on Joh 6:22 (note). |
10 And [2532] the apostles [652], when they were returned [5290], told [1334] him [846] all that [3745] they had done [4160]. And [2532] he took [3880] them [846], and went aside [5298] privately [2596] [2398] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] belonging to the city [4172] called [2564] Bethsaida [966].
11 And [1161] the people [3793], when they knew [1097] it, followed [190] him [846]: and [2532] he received [1209] them [846], and spake [2980] unto them [846] of [4012] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] healed [2390] them that had [2192] need [5532] of healing [2322].
12 And [1161] when the day [2250] began [756] to wear away [2827], then [1161] came [4334] the twelve [1427], and said [2036] unto him [846], Send [630] the multitude [3793] away [630], that [2443] they may go [565] into [1519] the towns [2968] and [2532] country [68] round about [2945], and lodge [2647], and [2532] get [2147] victuals [1979]: for [3754] we are [2070] here [5602] in [1722] a desert [2048] place [5117].
13 But [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Give [1325] ye [5210] them [846] to eat [5315]. And [1161] they said [2036], We [2254] have no [3756] [1526] more [4119] but [2228] five [4002] loaves [740] and [2532] two [1417] fishes [2486]; except [1509] we [2249] should go [4198] and buy [59] meat [1033] for [1519] all [3956] this [5126] people [2992].
14 For [1063] they were [2258] about [5616] five thousand [4000] men [435]. And [1161] he said [2036] to [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], Make [2625] them [846] sit down [2625] by [303] fifties [4004] in a company [2828].
15 And [2532] they did [4160] so [3779], and [2532] made [347] them all [537] sit down [347].
16 Then [1161] he took [2983] the five [4002] loaves [740] and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486], and looking up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], he blessed [2127] them [846], and [2532] brake [2622], and [2532] gave [1325] to the disciples [3101] to set before [3908] the multitude [3793].
17 And [2532] they did eat [5315], and [2532] were [5526] all [3956] filled [5526]: and [2532] there was taken up [142] of fragments [2801] that remained [4052] to them [846] twelve [1427] baskets [2894].
32 And [2532] they departed [565] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] by ship [4143] privately [2596] [2398].
33 And [2532] the people [3793] saw [1492] them [846] departing [5217], and [2532] many [4183] knew [1921] him [846], and [2532] ran [4936] afoot [3979] thither [1563] out of [575] all [3956] cities [4172], and [2532] outwent [4281] them [846], and [2532] came together [4905] unto [4314] him [846].
34 And [2532] Jesus [2424], when he came out [1831], saw [1492] much [4183] people [3793], and [2532] was moved with compassion [4697] toward [1909] them [846], because [3754] they were [2258] as [5613] sheep [4263] not [3361] having [2192] a shepherd [4166]: and [2532] he began [756] to teach [1321] them [846] many things [4183].
35 And [2532] when the day [5610] was [1096] now [2235] far spent [4183], his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] unto him [846], and said [3004], [3754] This is [2076] a desert [2048] place [5117], and [2532] now [2235] the time [5610] is far passed [4183]:
36 Send [630] them [846] away [630], that [2443] they may go [565] into [1519] the country [68] round about [2945], and [2532] into the villages [2968], and buy [59] themselves [1438] bread [740]: for [1063] they have [2192] nothing [5101] [3756] to eat [5315].
37 He answered [611] and [1161] said [2036] unto them [846], Give [1325] ye [5210] them [846] to eat [5315]. And [2532] they say [3004] unto him [846], Shall we go [565] and buy [59] two hundred [1250] pennyworth [1220] of bread [740], and [2532] give [1325] them [846] to eat [5315]?
38 [1161] He saith [3004] unto them [846], How many [4214] loaves [740] have ye [2192]? go [5217] and [2532] see [1492]. And [2532] when they knew [1097], they say [3004], Five [4002], and [2532] two [1417] fishes [2486].
39 And [2532] he commanded [2004] them [846] to make [347] all [3956] sit down [347] by companies [4849] [4849] upon [1909] the green [5515] grass [5528].
40 And [2532] they sat down [377] in ranks [4237] [4237], by [303] hundreds [1540], and [2532] by [303] fifties [4004].
41 And [2532] when he had taken [2983] the five [4002] loaves [740] and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486], he looked up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], and blessed [2127], and [2532] brake [2622] the loaves [740], and [2532] gave [1325] them to his [846] disciples [3101] to [2443] set before [3908] them [846]; and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486] divided he [3307] among them all [3956].
42 And [2532] they did [5315] all [3956] eat [5315], and [2532] were filled [5526].
43 And [2532] they took up [142] twelve [1427] baskets [2894] full [4134] of the fragments [2801], and [2532] of [575] the fishes [2486].
44 And [2532] they that did eat [5315] of the loaves [740] were [2258] about [5616] five thousand [4000] men [435].
13 When [2532] Jesus [2424] heard [191] of it, he departed [402] thence [1564] by [1722] ship [4143] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] apart [2596] [2398]: and [2532] when the people [3793] had heard [191] thereof, they followed [190] him [846] on foot [3979] out of [575] the cities [4172].
14 And [2532] Jesus [2424] went forth [1831], and saw [1492] a great [4183] multitude [3793], and [2532] was moved with compassion [4697] toward [1909] them [846], and [2532] he healed [2323] their [846] sick [732].
15 And [1161] when it was [1096] evening [3798], his [846] disciples [3101] came [4334] to him [846], saying [3004], This is [2076] a desert [2048] place [5117], and [2532] the time [5610] is now [2235] past [3928]; send [630] the multitude [3793] away [630], that [2443] they may go [565] into [1519] the villages [2968], and buy [59] themselves [1438] victuals [1033].
16 But [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036] unto them [846], They need [5532] not [3756] depart [565] [2192]; give [1325] ye [5210] them [846] to eat [5315].
17 And [1161] they say [3004] unto him [846], We have [2192] here [5602] but [3756] [1508] five [4002] loaves [740], and [2532] two [1417] fishes [2486].
18 [1161] He said [2036], Bring [5342] them [846] hither [5602] to me [3427].
19 And [2532] he commanded [2753] the multitude [3793] to sit down [347] on [1909] the grass [5528], and [2532] took [2983] the five [4002] loaves [740], and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486], and looking up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], he blessed [2127], and [2532] brake [2806], and gave [1325] the loaves [740] to his disciples [3101], and [1161] the disciples [3101] to the multitude [3793].
20 And [2532] they did [5315] all [3956] eat [5315], and [2532] were filled [5526]: and [2532] they took up [142] of the fragments [2801] that remained [4052] twelve [1427] baskets [2894] full [4134].
21 And [1161] they that had eaten [2068] were [2258] about [5616] five thousand [4000] men [435], beside [5565] women [1135] and [2532] children [3813].
10 And [2532] the apostles [652], when they were returned [5290], told [1334] him [846] all that [3745] they had done [4160]. And [2532] he took [3880] them [846], and went aside [5298] privately [2596] [2398] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] belonging to the city [4172] called [2564] Bethsaida [966].
18 And [1161] Jesus [2424], walking [4043] by [3844] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], saw [1492] two [1417] brethren [80], Simon [4613] called [3004] Peter [4074], and [2532] Andrew [406] his [846] brother [80], casting [906] a net [293] into [1519] the sea [2281]: for [1063] they were [2258] fishers [231].
10 And [2532] the apostles [652], when they were returned [5290], told [1334] him [846] all that [3745] they had done [4160]. And [2532] he took [3880] them [846], and went aside [5298] privately [2596] [2398] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] belonging to the city [4172] called [2564] Bethsaida [966].
32 And [2532] they departed [565] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] by ship [4143] privately [2596] [2398].
13 When [2532] Jesus [2424] heard [191] of it, he departed [402] thence [1564] by [1722] ship [4143] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] apart [2596] [2398]: and [2532] when the people [3793] had heard [191] thereof, they followed [190] him [846] on foot [3979] out of [575] the cities [4172].
22 The day following [1887], when the people [3793] which [3588] stood [2476] on the other side [4008] of the sea [2281] saw [1492] that [3754] there was [2258] none [3756] other [243] boat [4142] there [1563], save [1508] that [1565] one [1520] whereinto [1519] [3739] his [846] disciples [3101] were entered [1684], and [2532] that [3754] Jesus [2424] went [4897] not [3756] with [4897] his [846] disciples [3101] into [1519] the boat [4142], but [235] that his [846] disciples [3101] were gone away [565] alone [3441];
10 And [2532] the apostles [652], when they were returned [5290], told [1334] him [846] all that [3745] they had done [4160]. And [2532] he took [3880] them [846], and went aside [5298] privately [2596] [2398] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] belonging to the city [4172] called [2564] Bethsaida [966].
