And they did al eate, and had their fil. And there was taken up that which remained to them, twelve baskets of fragments.

* And it came to passe; when he was alone praying, his Disciples also were with him; and he asked them saying: Whom doe the multitudes say that I am? But they answered, and said: John the Baptist; and some, Elias; but some, that one of the Prophets before time is risen. And he said to them: But whom say ye that I am?
