Because of the crowd, he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him so the crowd ¹  would not press toward him.

For he had healed many, so that all who were afflicted with diseases pressed toward him in order to touch him.

When the whole crowd saw him, they were amazed and ran ¹  at once and greeted him.

Then the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to release a prisoner for them, as was his custom. ¹ 

He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He ¹  gave them to his ²  disciples to serve the people, and he divided the two fish among them all.

Then ¹  Jesus ²  went out again from the region of Tyre ³  and came through Sidon ⁴  to the Sea of Galilee in the region of the Decapolis. ⁵ 

As Jesus ¹  came ashore ²  he saw the large crowd and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So ³  he taught them many things.

He ¹  saw them straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. As the night was ending, ²  he came to them walking on the sea, ³  for ⁴  he wanted to pass by them. ⁵
