Mt 14, Verses 13–14English original
When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
They followed on foot, not riding, or in carriages, but with the toil of their own legs, to shew the ardour of their mind.
