42 After everyone had eaten all they wanted,
43 Jesus' disciples picked up twelve large baskets of leftover bread and fish.
44 There were five thousand men who ate the food.
45 Straight away, Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and start back across to Bethsaida. But he stayed until he had sent the crowds away.
46 Then he said goodbye to them and went up on the side of a mountain to pray.
47 Later that evening he was still there by himself, and the boat was somewhere in the middle of the lake.
48 He could see that the disciples were struggling hard, because they were rowing against the wind. Not long before morning, Jesus came towards them. He was walking on the water and was about to pass the boat.
