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 it came to the ears of Jesus, he went away from there in a boat, to a waste place by himself: and the people hearing of it, went after him on foot from the towns.

14 And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.

15 And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, This place is waste land, and the time is now past; send the people away so that they may go into the towns and get themselves food.

16 But Jesus said to them, There is no need for them to go away; give them food yourselves.

17 And they say to him, We have here but five cakes of bread and two fishes.

18 And he said, Give them to me.

19 And he gave orders for the people to be seated on the grass; and he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing, and made division of the food, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

20 And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.

21 And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
