6:31 And he says to them: Come ye yourselves privately to a desert place and rest a little. For were the ones coming and the ones going many, and not to eat they had opportunity. 32 And they went away in the ship to a desert place privately. 33 And saw them going and knew many and on foot from all the cities rang together there and came before them. 34 And going forth he saw a much great crowd, and had compassion on them because they were as sheep not having a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things. 35 And now an hour much coming approaching to him the disciples of him said, that desert is the place and now hour much, (it is late) 36 dismiss them, that going away into the round about fields and villages they may bug for themselves what they may eat. 37 But he answering said to them: Give them ye to eat. And they say to him: Going away may we buy of denarii two hundred loaves, and shall we give them to eat? 38 And he says to them: How many have ye loaves? Go see. And knowing they say: Five and two fishes. 39 And he instructed them to recline all companies on the green grass. 40 And they reclined groups by a hundred and by fifty. 41 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed and broke the loaves and gave to the disciples that they might set before them, and the two fishes he divided to all. 42 And they ate all and were satisfied. 43 And they took fragments twelve of baskets fullnesses and from the fishes. 44 And were the ones eating the loaves five thousand males. 45 And immediately he constrained the disciples of him to embark in the ship and to go before to the other side to Bethsaida, until he dismisses the crowd.

6:54 And coming out them out of the ship immediately knowing him 55 they ran round all the country that and began on the pallets the ones ill having to carry round, where they heard that he is (was). 56 and wherever he entered into villages or into cities or into country, in the marketplaces they put the ailing (ones), and besought him that if even the fringe of the garment of him they might touch; and as many as touched him were healed. Ch 7 And assemble near him the Pharisees and some of the scribes coming from Jerusalem. 2 And seeing some of the disciples of him that with unclean hands, this is unwashed, they eat bread, 3 for the Pharisees and all the Jews unless with fist they wash the hands eat not, holding the tradition of the elders. 4 and from marketplaces unless they sprinkle they eat not, and other things many there are which they received to hold, washings of cups and of utensils and of bronze vessels, 5 and questioned him the Pharisees and the scribes: Why walk not the disciples of thee according to the tradition of the elders, but with unclean hands eat bread? 6 And he said to them: Well prophesied Isaiah concerning you the hypocrites, as it has been written(:) This people with the lips me honours, but the heart of them far is away from me; 7 and in vain they worship me, teaching teachings (which are) commands of men. 8 Leaving the commandment of God ye hold the tradition of men. 9 And he said to them: Well ye set aside the commandment of God that the tradition of you ye may keep. 10 For Moses said: Honour the father of thee and the mother of thee, and: The (one) speaking evil of father or mother by death let him end (die). 11 Ye But say: If says a man to the father to the mother: Korban, which is a gift, whatever by me thou mightest profit, 12 no longer ye allow him not anything to do for the father or the mother. 13 annulling the word of God by the tradition of you which ye received; and similar things such many ye do 14 And calling to him again the crowd he said to them: Hear ye me all and understand 15 Nothing there is from without a man entering into him which can to defile him; but the things out of a man coming forth are the (ones) defiling a man.
