The ram was caught by his horns in a thicket. Is this a foretaste of Christ’s crown of thorns?

The parable of Abraham's field
Was Abraham using "all that he had" to buy the field, namely a stake in the promised land? And is this what Jesus is commenting on in Matt 13:44? Was Sarah, his wife, Abraham's greatest treasure?

Gen 22:2-13 Abraham was commanded by God to take and offer his only son who he loved (v.2) for a burnt offering to the LORD. We find there are six references to the fact that the offering was to be a burnt offering (Gen.22: 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 13).
Abraham’s faithful obedience to the commands of God foreshadowed the requirements of the Law that was given to Moses. The Book of Leviticus opens with the requirements for atonement, if a man wanted to bring an offering to the LORD, Lev 1:2-4. For a burnt offering:

Gen 22:2 “…take thy only son whom thou lovest…”
Gen.22:6 Abraham “laid the wood on Isaac…they went both together.”
Gen 22:9 “Abraham built the altar, laid the wood in order bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar upon the wood.” Gen 22:12 “Lay not your hand upon the lad…”
Heb 11:18-19“in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.”

Lev 1:2-5; Requirements for a burnt offerings were:
1. It was to be a male
Without blemish
2. To be voluntary
act
4. He was to put his
hand on the head
of the burnt
offering
5. He shall kill it
before the LORD
Lev 1:13 Burnt offerings “made by fire would rise a sweet savour to the LORD.”

1. Matt 3:17 “…my beloved son I
in whom I am well pleased...”
2. Luke 22:42“…nevertheless
not my will but thine be done.”
John 10:15 “… even so know I
the Father: and I lay down my
life for the sheep.”
3. John 3:16“…God gave His
only begotten son…”
Psalm 16:10-11 “For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.”

When we read Genesis 22 we should be looking for links with the sacrifice that God was to provide, around 2,000 years later. His only begotten son to die for the sins of the world. How marvellous and merciful are the ways of the LORD!

1. And it came to pass after <310> these things <1697>, that God <430> did tempt <5254>(8765) Abraham <85>, and said <559>(8799) unto him, Abraham <85>: and he said <559>(8799), Behold, here I am.
2. And he said <559>(8799), Take now <3947>(8798) thy son <1121>, thine only <3173> son Isaac <3327>, whom thou lovest <157>(8804), and get thee <3212>(8798) into the land <776> of Moriah <4179>; and offer him <5927>(8685) there for a burnt offering <5930> upon one <259> of the mountains <2022> which I will tell <559>(8799) thee of.
3. And Abraham <85> rose up early <7925>(8686) in the morning <1242>, and saddled <2280>(8799) his ass <2543>, and took <3947>(8799) two <8147> of his young men <5288> with him, and Isaac <3327> his son <1121>, and clave <1234>(8762) the wood <6086> for the burnt offering <5930>, and rose up <6965>(8799), and went <3212>(8799) unto the place <4725> of which God <430> had told <559>(8804) him.
4. Then on the third <7992> day <3117> Abraham <85> lifted up <5375>(8799) his eyes <5869>, and saw <7200>(8799) the place <4725> afar off <7350>.
5. And Abraham <85> said <559>(8799) unto his young men <5288>, Abide <3427>(8798) ye here with the ass <2543>; and I and the lad <5288> will go <3212>(8799) yonder <3541> and worship <7812>(8691), and come again <7725>(8799) to you.
6. And Abraham <85> took <3947>(8799) the wood <6086> of the burnt offering <5930>, and laid <7760>(8799) it upon Isaac <3327> his son <1121>; and he took <3947>(8799) the fire <784> in his hand <3027>, and a knife <3979>; and they went <3212>(8799) both <8147> of them together <3162>.
7. And Isaac <3327> spake <559>(8799) unto Abraham <85> his father <1>, and said <559>(8799), My father <1>: and he said <559>(8799), Here am I, my son <1121>. And he said <559>(8799), Behold the fire <784> and the wood <6086>: but where is the lamb <7716> for a burnt offering <5930>?
8. And Abraham <85> said <559>(8799), My son <1121>, God <430> will provide <7200>(8799) himself a lamb <7716> for a burnt offering <5930>: so they went <3212>(8799) both of them <8147> together <3162>.
9. And they came <935>(8799) to the place <4725> which God <430> had told <559>(8804) him of; and Abraham <85> built <1129>(8799) an altar <4196> there, and laid <6186> <0> the wood <6086> in order <6186>(8799), and bound <6123>(8799) Isaac <3327> his son <1121>, and laid <7760>(8799) him on the altar <4196> upon <4605> the wood <6086>.
10. And Abraham <85> stretched forth <7971>(8799) his hand <3027>, and took <3947>(8799) the knife <3979> to slay <7819>(8800) his son <1121>.
11. And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> called <7121>(8799) unto him out of heaven <8064>, and said <559>(8799), Abraham <85>, Abraham <85>: and he said <559>(8799), Here am I.
12. And he said <559>(8799), Lay <7971>(8799) not thine hand <3027> upon <413> the lad <5288>, neither do thou <6213>(8799) any thing <3972> unto him: for now <6258> I know <3045>(8804) that thou fearest <3373> God <430>, seeing thou hast not <3808> withheld <2820>(8804) thy son <1121>, thine only <3173> son from me.
13. And Abraham <85> lifted up <5375>(8799) his eyes <5869>, and looked <7200>(8799), and behold behind <310> him a ram <352> caught <270>(8737) in a thicket <5442> by his horns <7161>: and Abraham <85> went <3212>(8799) and took <3947>(8799) the ram <352>, and offered him up <5927>(8686) for a burnt offering <5930> in the stead <8478> of his son <1121>.
14. And Abraham <85> called <7121>(8799) the name <8034> of that place <4725> Jehovahjireh <3070>: as <834> it is said <559>(8735) to this day <3117>, In the mount <2022> of the LORD <3068> it shall be seen <7200>(8735).
15. And the angel <4397> of the LORD <3068> called <7121>(8799) unto Abraham <85> out of heaven <8064> the second time <8145>,
16. And said <559>(8799), By myself have I sworn <7650>(8738), saith <5002>(8803) the LORD <3068>, for because <3282> <834> thou hast done <6213>(8804) this thing <1697>, and hast not <3808> withheld <2820>(8804) thy son <1121>, thine only <3173> son:
17. That in blessing <1288>(8763) I will bless <1288>(8762) thee, and in multiplying <7235>(8687) I will multiply <7235>(8686) thy seed <2233> as the stars <3556> of the heaven <8064>, and as the sand <2344> which is upon the sea <3220> shore <8193>; and thy seed <2233> shall possess <3423>(8799) the gate <8179> of his enemies <341>(8802);
18. And in thy seed <2233> shall all the nations <1471> of the earth <776> be blessed <1288>(8694); because <834> <6118> thou hast obeyed <8085>(8804) my voice <6963>.
19. So Abraham <85> returned <7725>(8799) unto his young men <5288>, and they rose up <6965>(8799) and went <3212>(8799) together <3162> to Beersheba <884>; and Abraham <85> dwelt <3427>(8799) at Beersheba <884>.
20. And it came to pass after <310> these things <1697>, that it was told <5046>(8714) Abraham <85>, saying <559>(8800), Behold, Milcah <4435>, she hath also born <3205>(8804) children <1121> unto thy brother <251> Nahor <5152>;
21. Huz <5780> his firstborn <1060>, and Buz <938> his brother <251>, and Kemuel <7055> the father <1> of Aram <758>,
22. And Chesed <3777>, and Hazo <2375>, and Pildash <6394>, and Jidlaph <3044>, and Bethuel <1328>.
23. And Bethuel <1328> begat <3205>(8804) Rebekah <7259>: these eight <8083> Milcah <4435> did bear <3205>(8804) to Nahor <5152>, Abraham's <85> brother <251>.
24. And his concubine <6370>, whose name <8034> was Reumah <7208>, she bare <3205>(8799) also Tebah <2875>, and Gaham <1514>, and Thahash <8477>, and Maachah <4601>.
1. And Sarah <8283> was an hundred <3967> <8141> and seven <7651> <8141> and twenty <6242> years <8141> old <2416>: these were the years <8141> of the life <2416> of Sarah <8283>.
2. And Sarah <8283> died <4191>(8799) in Kirjatharba <7153>; the same is Hebron <2275> in the land <776> of Canaan <3667>: and Abraham <85> came <935>(8799) to mourn <5594>(8800) for Sarah <8283>, and to weep <1058>(8800) for her.
3. And Abraham <85> stood up <6965>(8799) from before <6440> his dead <4191>(8801), and spake <1696>(8762) unto the sons <1121> of Heth <2845>, saying <559>(8800),
4. I am a stranger <1616> and a sojourner <8453> with you: give <5414>(8798) me a possession <272> of a buryingplace <6913> with you, that I may bury <6912>(8799) my dead <4191>(8801) out of my sight <6440>.
5. And the children <1121> of Heth <2845> answered <6030>(8799) Abraham <85>, saying <559>(8800) unto him,
6. Hear us <8085>(8798), my lord <113>: thou art a mighty <430> prince <5387> among us <8432>: in the choice <4005> of our sepulchres <6913> bury <6912>(8798) thy dead <4191>(8801); none <3808> <376> of us shall withhold <3607>(8799) from thee his sepulchre <6913>, but that thou mayest bury <6912>(8800) thy dead <4191>(8801).
7. And Abraham <85> stood up <6965>(8799), and bowed <7812>(8691) himself to the people <5971> of the land <776>, even to the children <1121> of Heth <2845>.
8. And he communed <1696>(8762) with them, saying <559>(8800), If it be <3426> your mind <5315> that I should bury <6912>(8800) my dead <4191>(8801) out of my sight <6440>; hear <8085>(8798) me, and intreat <6293>(8798) for me to Ephron <6085> the son <1121> of Zohar <6714>,
9. That he may give <5414>(8799) me the cave <4631> of Machpelah <4375>, which he hath, which is in the end <7097> of his field <7704>; for as much <4392> <0> money <3701> as it is worth <4392> he shall give it <5414>(8799) me for a possession <272> of a buryingplace <6913> amongst you <8432>.
10. And Ephron <6085> dwelt <3427>(8802) among <8432> the children <1121> of Heth <2845>: and Ephron <6085> the Hittite <2850> answered <6030>(8799) Abraham <85> in the audience <241> of the children <1121> of Heth <2845>, even of all that went in <935>(8802) at the gate <8179> of his city <5892>, saying <559>(8800),
11. Nay <3808>, my lord <113>, hear me <8085>(8798): the field <7704> give I <5414>(8804) thee, and the cave <4631> that is therein, I give it <5414>(8804) thee; in the presence <5869> of the sons <1121> of my people <5971> give <5414>(8804) I it thee: bury <6912>(8798) thy dead <4191>(8801).
12. And Abraham <85> bowed down <7812>(8691) himself before <6440> the people <5971> of the land <776>.
13. And he spake <1696>(8762) unto Ephron <6085> in the audience <241> of the people <5971> of the land <776>, saying <559>(8800), But if thou wilt give it, I pray thee <3863>, hear <8085>(8798) me: I will give <5414>(8804) thee money <3701> for the field <7704>; take <3947>(8798) it of me, and I will bury <6912>(8799) my dead <4191>(8801) there.
14. And Ephron <6085> answered <6030>(8799) Abraham <85>, saying <559>(8800) unto him,
15. My lord <113>, hearken <8085>(8798) unto me: the land <776> is worth four <702> hundred <3967> shekels <8255> of silver <3701>; what is that betwixt <996> me and thee? bury <6912>(8798) therefore thy dead <4191>(8801).
16. And Abraham <85> hearkened <8085>(8799) unto Ephron <6085>; and Abraham <85> weighed <8254>(8799) to Ephron <6085> the silver <3701>, which he had named <1696>(8765) in the audience <241> of the sons <1121> of Heth <2845>, four <702> hundred <3967> shekels <8255> of silver <3701>, current <5674>(8802) money with the merchant <5503>(8802).
17. And the field <7704> of Ephron <6085>, which was in Machpelah <4375>, which was before <6440> Mamre <4471>, the field <7704>, and the cave <4631> which was therein, and all the trees <6086> that were in the field <7704>, that were in all the borders <1366> round about <5439>, were made sure <6965>(8799)
18. Unto Abraham <85> for a possession <4736> in the presence <5869> of the children <1121> of Heth <2845>, before all that went in <935>(8802) at the gate <8179> of his city <5892>.
19. And after <310> this <3651>, Abraham <85> buried <6912>(8804) Sarah <8283> his wife <802> in the cave <4631> of the field <7704> of Machpelah <4375> before <6440> Mamre <4471>: the same is Hebron <2275> in the land <776> of Canaan <3667>.
20. And the field <7704>, and the cave <4631> that is therein, were made sure <6965>(8799) unto Abraham <85> for a possession <272> of a buryingplace <6913> by the sons <1121> of Heth <2845>.
Notes that are not verse specific
Psalm 27 A bold statement of David's confidence in God, combined with a humble prayer for strength, when life becomes difficult and threatened.
Psalm 28 This Psalm was probably written when David's life was endangered at the rebellion of Absalom, and when the Kingdom of Israel was under great strain.
John Wilson [Toronto West (Can)] Comment added in 2004 Reply to John
Psa 26 This Psalm is a statement of David's past and present intention to walk in God's Truth, also it is a prayer for the preservation of his life.
John Wilson [Toronto West (Can)] Comment added in 2004 Reply to John
26:2 reins literally means kidneys. The word survives in modern English in the word renal - the renal unit is where you would go for treatment to your kidneys. The ESV translates the second part of the verse as test my heart and mind, conveying the idea of trying the whole being.
26:3 David walked in truth, v12 he stood in an even, (i.e. a safe place - contrast with v1) and he declined to sit with the vain (v4), or the wicked (v5). Compare with a similar progression found in Psa 1
26:6 I will wash my hands - compare with the actions of Pilate in Matt 27:24

27:12 is clearly Messianic. Virtually the same words occur in Mark 14:57

DIFFICULT TIMES (Psalm 27)
"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
We live in difficult times today. There is much fear and concern not only about the future, there is fear of the here and now. Yet the beautiful thing is that God is eternal, and the principles of His Word do not change - Even in a changing society. And we can take great comfort in this.
In the 27th Psalm, David presents several principles that enabled him to handle difficult times in his life. These principles will help us deal with whatever may come our way as well. With God we have an anchor that holds us steadfast in the midst of the storms of life. Our confidence is in God and that He will accomplish what we has promised. May the Lord guide our footsteps to His kingdom.
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart ... and he shall direct thy paths."
Prov 3:5-6
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart ... and he shall direct thy paths."
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart ... and he shall direct thy paths."
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart ... and he shall direct thy paths."
"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the
strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"

1. A Psalm of David <1732>. The LORD <3068> is my light <216> and my salvation <3468>; whom shall I fear <3372>(8799)? the LORD <3068> is the strength <4581> of my life <2416>; of whom shall I be afraid <6342>(8799)?
2. When the wicked <7489>(8688), even mine enemies <6862> and my foes <341>(8802), came <7126>(8800) upon me to eat up <398>(8800) my flesh <1320>, they stumbled <3782>(8804) and fell <5307>(8804).

5. For in the time <3117> of trouble <7451> he shall hide <6845>(8799) me in his pavilion <5520>: in the secret <5643> of his tabernacle <168> shall he hide <5641>(8686) me; he shall set me up <7311>(8787) upon a rock <6697>.
6. And now shall mine head <7218> be lifted up <7311>(8799) above mine enemies <341>(8802) round about <5439> me: therefore will I offer <2076>(8799) in his tabernacle <168> sacrifices <2077> of joy <8643>; I will sing <7891>(8799), yea, I will sing praises <2167>(8762) unto the LORD <3068>.
7. Hear <8085>(8798), O LORD <3068>, when I cry <7121>(8799) with my voice <6963>: have mercy <2603>(8798) also upon me, and answer <6030>(8798) me.
8. When thou saidst, Seek <1245>(8761) ye my face <6440>; my heart <3820> said <559>(8804) unto thee, Thy face <6440>, LORD <3068>, will I seek <1245>(8762).
9. Hide <5641>(8686) not thy face <6440> far from me; put <5186> <0> not thy servant <5650> away <5186>(8686) in anger <639>: thou hast been my help <5833>; leave <5203>(8799) me not, neither forsake <5800>(8799) me, O God <430> of my salvation <3468>.
10. When my father <1> and my mother <517> forsake <5800>(8804) me, then the LORD <3068> will take me up <622>(8799).
11. Teach <3384>(8685) me thy way <1870>, O LORD <3068>, and lead <5148>(8798) me in a plain <4334> path <734>, because of mine enemies <8324>(8802).
12. Deliver <5414>(8799) me not over unto the will <5315> of mine enemies <6862>: for false <8267> witnesses <5707> are risen up <6965>(8804) against me, and such as breathe out <3307> cruelty <2555>.
13. I had fainted, unless <3884> I had believed <539>(8689) to see <7200>(8800) the goodness <2898> of the LORD <3068> in the land <776> of the living <2416>.
14. Wait <6960>(8761) on the LORD <3068>: be of good courage <2388>(8798), and he shall strengthen <553>(8686) thine heart <3820>: wait <6960>(8761), I say, on the LORD <3068>.
1. A Psalm of David <1732>. Unto thee will I cry <7121>(8799), O LORD <3068> my rock <6697>; be not silent <2814>(8799) to me: lest, if thou be silent <2790>(8799) to me, I become <4911>(8738) like them that go down <3381>(8802) into the pit <953>.
2. Hear <8085>(8798) the voice <6963> of my supplications <8469>, when I cry <7768>(8763) unto thee, when I lift up <5375>(8800) my hands <3027> toward thy holy <6944> oracle <1687>.
3. Draw me not away <4900>(8799) with the wicked <7563>, and with the workers <6466>(8802) of iniquity <205>, which speak <1696>(8802) peace <7965> to their neighbours <7453>, but mischief <7451> is in their hearts <3824>.
4. Give <5414>(8798) them according to their deeds <6467>, and according to the wickedness <7455> of their endeavours <4611>: give <5414>(8798) them after the work <4639> of their hands <3027>; render <7725>(8685) to them their desert <1576>.
5. Because they regard <995>(8799) not the works <6468> of the LORD <3068>, nor the operation <4639> of his hands <3027>, he shall destroy <2040>(8799) them, and not build them up <1129>(8799).
6. Blessed <1288>(8803) be the LORD <3068>, because he hath heard <8085>(8804) the voice <6963> of my supplications <8469>.
7. The LORD <3068> is my strength <5797> and my shield <4043>; my heart <3820> trusted <982>(8804) in him, and I am helped <5826>(8738): therefore my heart <3820> greatly rejoiceth <5937>(8799); and with my song <7892> will I praise <3034>(8686) him.
8. The LORD <3068> is their strength <5797>, and he is the saving <3444> strength <4581> of his anointed <4899>.
9. Save <3467>(8685) thy people <5971>, and bless <1288>(8761) thine inheritance <5159>: feed <7462>(8798) them also, and lift them up <5375>(8761) for ever <5769>.
Notes that are not verse specific
John the Baptist had said of Jesus 'He must increase, but I must decrease.' [John 3:30]. The death of John is only referred to here incidentally to explain Herod's perplexity. Thus John passed off the scene with no mention - demonstrating the ascendancy of Jesus against the background of John's decrease.

14 There is a powerful contrast between the end of Matthew 13 and the beginning of this chapter. Matthew Matt 13:56-58 shows Jesus’ countrymen in unbelief. So he did not ‘many mighty works’. Here we see, by contrast, Herod the Idumean, looking at the work of Jesus, from a distance, and concluding that something special was happening!

1. At <1722> that <1565> time <2540> Herod <2264> the tetrarch <5076> heard <191>(5656) of the fame <189> of Jesus <2424>,
2. And <2532> said <2036>(5627) unto his <848> servants <3816>, This <3778> is <2076>(5748) John <2491> the Baptist <910>; he <846> is risen <1453>(5681) from <575> the dead <3498>; and <2532> therefore <1223> <5124> mighty works <1411> do shew forth themselves <1754>(5719) in <1722> him <846>.
3. For <1063> Herod <2264> had laid hold <2902>(5660) on John <2491>, and bound <1210>(5656) him <846>, and <2532> put <5087>(5639) him in <1722> prison <5438> for <1223> <0> Herodias' <2266> sake <1223>, his <848> brother <80> Philip's <5376> wife <1135>.
4. For <1063> John <2491> said <3004>(5707) unto him <846>, It is <1832> <0> not <3756> lawful <1832>(5748) for thee <4671> to have <2192>(5721) her <846>.
5. And <2532> when he would <2309>(5723) have put <615> <0> him <846> to death <615>(5658), he feared <5399>(5675) the multitude <3793>, because <3754> they counted <2192>(5707) him <846> as <5613> a prophet <4396>.
6. But <1161> when Herod's <2264> birthday <1077> was kept <71>(5746), the daughter <2364> of Herodias <2266> danced <3738>(5662) before them <1722> <3319>, and <2532> pleased <700>(5656) Herod <2264>.
7. Whereupon <3606> he promised <3670>(5656) with <3326> an oath <3727> to give <1325>(5629) her <846> whatsoever <1437> she would ask <154>(5672).
8. And <1161> she, being before instructed <4264>(5685) of <5259> her <848> mother <3384>, said <5346>(5748), Give <1325>(5628) me <3427> here <5602> John <2491> Baptist's <910> head <2776> in <1909> a charger <4094>.
9. And <2532> the king <935> was sorry <3076>(5681): nevertheless for <1161> <1223> the oath's sake <3727>, and <2532> them which sat with him at meat <4873>(5740), he commanded <2753>(5656) it to be given <1325>(5683) her.
10. And <2532> he sent <3992>(5660), and beheaded <607>(5656) John <2491> in <1722> the prison <5438>.
11. And <2532> his <846> head <2776> was brought <5342>(5681) in <1909> a charger <4094>, and <2532> given <1325>(5681) to the damsel <2877>: and <2532> she brought <5342>(5656) it to her <848> mother <3384>.
12. And <2532> his <846> disciples <3101> came <4334>(5631), and took up <142>(5656) the body <4983>, and <2532> buried <2290>(5656) it <846>, and <2532> went <2064>(5631) and told <518>(5656) Jesus <2424>.
13. When <2532> Jesus <2424> heard <191>(5660) of it, he departed <402>(5656) thence <1564> by <1722> ship <4143> into <1519> a desert <2048> place <5117> apart <2596> <2398>: and <2532> when the people <3793> had heard <191>(5660) thereof, they followed <190>(5656) him <846> on foot <3979> out of <575> the cities <4172>.
14. And <2532> Jesus <2424> went forth <1831>(5631), and saw <1492>(5627) a great <4183> multitude <3793>, and <2532> was moved with compassion <4697>(5675) toward <1909> them <846>, and <2532> he healed <2323>(5656) their <846> sick <732>.
15. And <1161> when it was <1096>(5637) evening <3798>, his <846> disciples <3101> came <4334>(5656) to him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), This is <2076>(5748) a desert <2048> place <5117>, and <2532> the time <5610> is now <2235> past <3928>(5627); send <630> <0> the multitude <3793> away <630>(5657), that <2443> they may go <565>(5631) into <1519> the villages <2968>, and buy <59>(5661) themselves <1438> victuals <1033>.
16. But <1161> Jesus <2424> said <2036>(5627) unto them <846>, They need <5532> not <3756> depart <565>(5629) <2192>(5719); give <1325>(5628) ye <5210> them <846> to eat <5315>(5629).
17. And <1161> they say <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, We have <2192>(5719) here <5602> but <3756> <1508> five <4002> loaves <740>, and <2532> two <1417> fishes <2486>.
18. <1161> He said <2036>(5627), Bring <5342>(5720) them <846> hither <5602> to me <3427>.
19. And <2532> he commanded <2753>(5660) the multitude <3793> to sit down <347>(5683) on <1909> the grass <5528>, and <2532> took <2983>(5631) the five <4002> loaves <740>, and <2532> the two <1417> fishes <2486>, and looking up <308>(5660) to <1519> heaven <3772>, he blessed <2127>(5656), and <2532> brake <2806>(5660), and gave <1325>(5656) the loaves <740> to his disciples <3101>, and <1161> the disciples <3101> to the multitude <3793>.
20. And <2532> they did <5315> <0> all <3956> eat <5315>(5627), and <2532> were filled <5526>(5681): and <2532> they took up <142>(5656) of the fragments <2801> that remained <4052>(5723) twelve <1427> baskets <2894> full <4134>.
21. And <1161> they that had eaten <2068>(5723) were <2258>(5713) about <5616> five thousand <4000> men <435>, beside <5565> women <1135> and <2532> children <3813>.
22. And <2532> straightway <2112> Jesus <2424> constrained <315>(5656) his <848> disciples <3101> to get <1684>(5629) into <1519> a ship <4143>, and <2532> to go before <4254>(5721) him <846> unto <1519> the other side <4008>, while <2193> <3739> he sent <630> <0> the multitudes <3793> away <630>(5661).
23. And <2532> when he had sent <630> <0> the multitudes <3793> away <630>(5660), he went up <305>(5627) into <1519> a mountain <3735> apart <2596> <2398> to pray <4336>(5664): and <1161> when the evening <3798> was come <1096>(5637), he was <2258>(5713) there <1563> alone <3441>.
24. But <1161> the ship <4143> was <2258>(5713) now <2235> in the midst <3319> of the sea <2281>, tossed <928>(5746) with <5259> waves <2949>: for <1063> the wind <417> was <2258>(5713) contrary <1727>.
25. And <1161> in the fourth <5067> watch <5438> of the night <3571> Jesus <2424> went <565>(5627) unto <4314> them <846>, walking <4043>(5723) on <1909> the sea <2281>.
26. And <2532> when the disciples <3101> saw <1492>(5631) him <846> walking <4043>(5723) on <1909> the sea <2281>, they were troubled <5015>(5681), saying <3004>(5723) <3754>, It is <2076>(5748) a spirit <5326>; and <2532> they cried out <2896>(5656) for <575> fear <5401>.
27. But <1161> straightway <2112> Jesus <2424> spake <2980>(5656) unto them <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Be of good cheer <2293>(5720); it is <1510>(5748) I <1473>; be <5399> <0> not <3361> afraid <5399>(5737).
28. And <1161> Peter <4074> answered <611>(5679) him <846> and said <2036>(5627), Lord <2962>, if <1487> it be <1488>(5748) thou <4771>, bid <2753>(5657) me <3165> come <2064>(5629) unto <4314> thee <4571> on <1909> the water <5204>.
29. And <1161> he said <2036>(5627), Come <2064>(5628). And <2532> when Peter <4074> was come down <2597>(5631) out of <575> the ship <4143>, he walked <4043>(5656) on <1909> the water <5204>, to go <2064>(5629) to <4314> Jesus <2424>.
30. But <1161> when he saw <991>(5723) the wind <417> boisterous <2478>, he was afraid <5399>(5675); and <2532> beginning <756>(5671) to sink <2670>(5745), he cried <2896>(5656), saying <3004>(5723), Lord <2962>, save <4982>(5657) me <3165>.
31. And <1161> immediately <2112> Jesus <2424> stretched forth <1614>(5660) his hand <5495>, and caught <1949>(5633) him <846>, and <2532> said <3004>(5719) unto him <846>, O thou of little faith <3640>, wherefore <1519> <5101> didst thou doubt <1365>(5656)?
32. And <2532> when they <846> were come <1684>(5631) into <1519> the ship <4143>, the wind <417> ceased <2869>(5656).
33. Then <1161> they that were in <1722> the ship <4143> came <2064>(5631) and worshipped <4352>(5656) him <846>, saying <3004>(5723), Of a truth <230> thou art <1488>(5748) the Son <5207> of God <2316>.
34. And <2532> when they were gone over <1276>(5660), they came <2064>(5627) into <1519> the land <1093> of Gennesaret <1082>.
35. And <2532> when the men <435> of that <1565> place <5117> had knowledge <1921>(5631) of him <846>, they sent out <649>(5656) into <1519> all <3650> that <1565> country round about <4066>, and <2532> brought <4374>(5656) unto him <846> all <3956> that were <2192>(5723) diseased <2560>;
36. And <2532> besought <3870>(5707) him <846> that <2443> they might <680> <0> only <3440> touch <680>(5672) the hem <2899> of his garment <2440>: and <2532> as many as <3745> touched <680>(5662) were made perfectly whole <1295>(5681).
