Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.

42ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲥⲓ.They all ate and were satisfied,

About the fourth watch of the night, Jesus went out to them, walking on the sea. He intended to pass by them,

And all who touched Him were healed.
