30 En die apostels het by Jesus saamgekom en Hom alles vertel wat hulle gedoen sowel as wat hulle geleer het.

31 En Hy sê vir hulle: Kom julle self in die eensaamheid na 'n verlate plek en rus 'n bietjie. Want daar was baie wat kom en gaan, en hulle het selfs geen geskikte tyd gehad om te eet nie.

32 En hulle het met die skuit vertrek na 'n verlate plek in die eensaamheid.

33 En die skare het hulle sien weggaan, en baie het Hom herken en te voet van al die stede af daar saamgestroom en voor hulle uit gegaan en by Hom vergader.

34 En toe Jesus uitklim, sien Hy 'n groot menigte, en Hy het vir hulle innig jammer gevoel, omdat hulle soos skape sonder herder was; en Hy het hulle baie dinge begin leer.

35 En toe dit reeds laat geword het, kom sy dissipels na Hom en sê: Die plek is verlate en dit is reeds laat.

36 Stuur hulle weg, sodat hulle na die buitewyke en dorpe rondom kan gaan om brood vir hulleself te koop, want hulle het niks om te eet nie.

37 Maar Hy antwoord en sê vir hulle: Gee julle aan hulle iets om te eet. En hulle sê vir Hom: Moet ons gaan en vir twee honderd pennings brood koop en aan hulle gee om te eet?

38 En Hy sê vir hulle: Hoeveel brode het julle? Gaan kyk. En toe hulle dit te wete gekom het, sê hulle: Vyf, en twee visse.

39 En Hy het hulle beveel om almal klompies-klompies op die groen gras te laat sit.

40 En hulle het gaan sit in groepe van honderd en van vyftig.

41 Hy neem toe die vyf brode en die twee visse, kyk op na die hemel en dank; en Hy breek die brode en gee dit aan sy dissipels om dit aan hulle voor te sit. Ook die twee visse het Hy onder almal verdeel.

42 En almal het geëet en versadig geword;

43 en hulle het van die brokstukke twaalf mandjies vol opgetel, en van die visse.

44 En die wat van die brood geëet het, was omtrent vyf duisend manne.

30 And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught. 31 And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart. 33 And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them. 34 And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent; 36 send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat. 37 But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings’ worth of bread, and give them to eat? 38 And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 39 And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 41 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42 And they all ate, and were filled. 43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes. 44 And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.
