1 Daarna het Jesus na die oorkant van die see van Galil,a, dit is, van Tib,rias, gegaan;

2 en 'n groot menigte het Hom gevolg, omdat hulle sy tekens gesien het wat Hy aan die siekes doen.

3 En Jesus het op die berg geklim en daar met sy dissipels gaan sit.

4 En die pasga, die fees van die Jode, was naby.

5 Toe Jesus dan sy oë opslaan en sien dat 'n groot menigte na Hom kom, sê Hy vir Filippus: Waarvandaan sal ons brood koop, sodat hierdie mense kan eet?

6 Maar Hy het dit gesê om hom op die proef te stel, want Hy het self geweet wat Hy wou doen.

7 Filippus antwoord Hom: Brood vir twee honderd pennings sal nie genoeg wees vir hulle, sodat elkeen van hulle 'n stukkie kan kry nie.

8 Een van sy dissipels, Andr,as, Simon Petrus se broer, sê vir Hom:

9 Hier is 'n seuntjie wat vyf garsbrode en twee vissies het, maar wat is dit vir so baie mense?

10 En Jesus sê: Laat die mense gaan sit. En daar was baie gras op die plek. Die manne het toe gaan sit, omtrent vyf duisend in getal.

11 En Jesus het die brode geneem, en nadat Hy gedank het, deel Hy dit uit aan die dissipels en die dissipels aan die wat daar sit; so ook van die vissies, soveel as hulle wou hê.

12 En nadat hulle versadig was, sê Hy vir sy dissipels: Maak die brokstukke bymekaar wat oorgeskiet het, sodat niks verlore gaan nie.

13 Hulle maak toe bymekaar en het twaalf mandjies gevul met brokstukke van die vyf garsbrode wat oorgeskiet het by die wat geëet het.

14 Toe die mense dan die teken sien wat Jesus gedoen het, sê hulle: Hy is waarlik die profeet wat in die wêreld sou kom.

1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick. 3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred shillings’ worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many? 10 Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would. 12 And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost. 13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten. 14 When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world.
