And going forth, He saw a great crowd, and He was moved with compassion for them and healed their sick.

Now when evening fell, the disciples came to Him, saying, This place is deserted and the hour is already  ¹late. Send the crowds away that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

But Jesus said to them, They do not need to go away. You  ¹give them something to  ²eat.

And they said to Him, We do not have anything here except five  ¹loaves and two fish.

And He said,  ¹Bring them here to Me.

And after commanding the crowds to  ¹recline on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and  ²looking up to heaven, He blessed and  ³broke the loaves and  ⁴gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.

And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over of the broken pieces,  ¹twelve handbaskets full.

And those who ate were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.

And immediately He  ¹compelled the disciples to step into the boat and to go before Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.

And after He sent the crowds away, He went up to the mountain privately to  ¹pray. And when  ²night fell, He was there alone.

Now the boat was already  ¹in the midst of the sea, being battered by the waves, for the wind was contrary.

And in the  ¹fourth watch of the night He came to them,  ²walking on the sea.

And the disciples, seeing Him walking on the sea, were startled, saying, It is a ghost! And they cried out for fear.

But immediately Jesus talked to them, saying, Take courage.  ¹It is I. Do not be afraid.

And Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.

And He said, Come. And Peter, coming down from the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

But  ¹seeing the strong wind, he became frightened; and as he began to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me!

And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him and said to him, You of little faith, why did you  ¹doubt?

And when they got up into the boat, the  ¹wind ceased.

And those who were in the boat worshipped Him, saying, Truly You are the  ¹Son of God.

And they crossed over and came to land at Gennesaret.

And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding region and brought to Him all who were ill.

And they begged Him that they might only touch the  ¹fringe of His garment. And as many as touched were completely  ²healed.

Then  ¹Joseph could not control himself before all those who attended him; and he cried out, Have everyone go out from me. So there was no one standing with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it.

And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph! Is my father still alive? But his brothers could not answer him, so troubled were they at his presence.

And Joseph said to his brothers, Please come closer to me. And they came closer. And he said, I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.

And now do not be  ¹grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

For the famine has been in the midst of the land these two years, and there are still five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.

And God sent me before you to preserve for you a  ¹remnant in the earth and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.

So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me; do not delay.

And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen and be near to me, you and your children and your children's children and your flocks and your herds and all that you have.

And there I will sustain you — for there are still five years of famine to come — so that you and your household and all that you have do not become impoverished.

And now your eyes see, and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see, that it is my own mouth that speaks to you.

And you must tell my father of all my glory in Egypt and of all that you have seen, and you must hurry and bring my father down here.

And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck and wept, and Benjamin wept upon his neck.

And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them, and after that his brothers talked with him.

And when the report was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, Joseph's brothers have come, it was pleasing to Pharaoh and to his servants.

And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Do this: Load your beasts, and depart; go to the land of Canaan;

And take your father and your households, and come to me. And I will give you the best of the land of Egypt, and you will eat the fat of the land.

And you are commanded, Do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives; and bring your father, and come.

And do not be concerned for your possessions, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.

And the sons of Israel did so, and Joseph gave them wagons according to the command of Pharaoh and gave them provisions for the way.

To each of them he gave changes of garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.

And he sent to his father the following: ten donkeys loaded with the best of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, and bread and provision for his father on the way.

So he sent his brothers away; and as they departed, he said to them, Do not quarrel on the way.

So they went up out of Egypt and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.

And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And his heart grew  ¹numb, for he did not believe them.

And they told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them; and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.

And Israel said,  ¹It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.

So Israel set out with all that he had and came to Beer-sheba and  ¹offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night and said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, Here I am.

And He said, I am  ¹God, the God of your father; do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there.

I Myself will go down with you to Egypt, and I Myself will also surely bring you up again; and Joseph's hand will close your eyes.

And Jacob rose up from Beer-sheba, and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father and their little ones and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

And they took their livestock and their possessions, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and Jacob and all his offspring with him came to Egypt.

His sons and his grandsons with him, his daughters and his granddaughters, and all his offspring he brought with him to Egypt.

And these are the names of the children of Israel, who came to Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Jacob's firstborn, Reuben.

And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi.

And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.

And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

And the sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah; but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan. And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

And the sons of Issachar: Tola and Puvah and Iob and Shimron.

And the sons of Zebulun: Sered and Elon and Jahleel.

These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, along with his daughter Dinah. His sons and his daughters were thirty-three  ¹persons in all.

And the sons of Gad: Ziphion and Haggi, Shuni and Ezbon, Eri and Arodi and Areli.

And the sons of Asher: Imnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah, and Serah their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.

These are the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to his daughter Leah; and she bore these to Jacob, sixteen persons.

The sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife: Joseph and Benjamin.

And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath the daughter of Potiphera priest of On bore to him.

And the sons of Benjamin: Bela and Becher and Ashbel, Gera and Naaman, Ehi and Rosh, Muppim and Huppim and Ard.

These are the sons of Rachel, who were born to Jacob, fourteen persons in all.

And the sons of Dan: Hushim.

And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel and Guni and Jezer and Shillem.

These are the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob, seven persons in all.

All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, who came out of his loins, besides the wives of Jacob's sons, were sixty-six persons in all.

And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob, who came to Egypt, were seventy.

And he sent Judah before him to Joseph to show the way before him to Goshen, and they came to the land of Goshen.

And Joseph made his chariot ready and went up to Goshen to meet Israel his father. And when he appeared before him, he fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.

And Israel said to Joseph, Let me die now since I have seen your face and know that you are still alive.

And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and will say to him, My brothers and my father's household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

And the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.

And when Pharaoh calls you and says, What is your occupation?

You shall say, Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers; that you may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.
