And when they had gone across, they came to Gennesaret, and got their boat to land.

And wherever he went, into small towns, or great towns, or into the country, they took those who were ill into the market-places, requesting him that they might put their hands even on the edge of his robe: and all those who did so were made well.

And he gave them orders not to give news of it to anyone; but the more he made this request, so much the more they made it public.

And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.

And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.

And they said to one another, We have no bread.

And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.

And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.
