13 En toe Jesus dit hoor, het Hy daarvandaan in 'n skuit vertrek na 'n verlate plek alleen. En die skare het dit gehoor en Hom van die stede af te voet gevolg.

14 En toe Jesus uitgaan, het Hy 'n groot skare gesien en innig jammer vir hulle gevoel, en Hy het hulle siekes gesond gemaak.

15 En toe dit aand geword het, kom sy dissipels na Hom en sê: Die plek is verlate, en dit is al oor die tyd; stuur die skare weg, sodat hulle na die dorpe kan gaan en vir hulle voedsel koop.

16 Maar Jesus sê vir hulle: Hulle hoef nie weg te gaan nie; gee julle vir hulle iets om te eet.

17 Maar hulle antwoord Hom: Ons het hier net vyf brode en twee visse.

18 En Hy sê: Bring dit hier vir My.

19 Toe gee Hy die skare bevel om op die gras te gaan sit; en Hy neem die vyf brode en die twee visse, kyk op na die hemel en dank; en nadat Hy die brode gebreek het, gee Hy dit aan die dissipels en die dissipels aan die skare.

20 En almal het geëet en versadig geword, en hulle het die oorskot van die brokstukke opgetel, twaalf mandjies vol.

21 En dit was omtrent vyf duisend manne wat geëet het, buiten die vroue en kinders.

13 Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities. 14 And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15 And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. 16 But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 And he said, Bring them hither to me. 19 And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20 And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 21 And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
