10 En toe die apostels terugkom en Hom alles vertel wat hulle gedoen het, het Hy hulle saamgeneem en in die eensaamheid gegaan na 'n verlate plek van 'n stad met die naam van Bets ida.

11 Maar die skare het dit te wete gekom en Hom gevolg; en Hy het hulle ontvang en met hulle gespreek oor die koninkryk van God, en die wat genesing nodig gehad het, gesond gemaak.

12 Toe die dag begin daal, kom die twaalf na Hom en sê vir Hom: Stuur die skare weg, sodat hulle na die dorpe en buitewyke in die omtrek kan gaan en herberg en voedsel kry; want ons is hier in 'n verlate plek.

13 Maar Hy sê vir hulle: Gee julle vir hulle iets om te eet. Maar hulle antwoord: Ons het nie meer as vyf brode en twee visse nie, tensy ons voedsel gaan koop vir al hierdie mense.

14 Want daar was omtrent vyf duisend manne. Maar Hy sê vir sy dissipels: Laat hulle in groepe van vyftig sit.

15 En hulle het dit gedoen en almal laat sit.

16 Toe neem Hy die vyf brode en die twee visse, en nadat Hy opgekyk het na die hemel, seën Hy dit en breek dit en gee dit aan die dissipels om dit aan die skare voor te sit.

17 En hulle het geëet en is almal versadig, en van wat vir hulle van die brokstukke oorgebly het, is daar twaalf mandjies vol opgetel.

10 And the twelve, when they came back, gave him an account of what they had done. And he took them with him and went away from the people to a town named Beth-saida.

11 But the people, getting news of it, went after him: and he was pleased to see them, and gave them teaching about the kingdom of God, and made those well who were in need of it.

12 And the day went on; and the twelve came to him and said, Send these people away so that they may go into the towns and the country round about and get resting-places and food for themselves, for we are in a waste place.

13 But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people.

14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group.

15 And they did so, and made them all be seated.

16 And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.

17 And they all took the food and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits which were over, twelve baskets full.
