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 twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.

31 And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.

32 And they went away in the boat to a waste place by themselves.

33 And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.

34 And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.

35 And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:

36 Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.

37 But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?

38 And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.

39 And he made them all be seated in groups on the green grass.

40 And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

41 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 the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.

42 And they all took of the food and had enough.

43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes.

44 And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.
