1 Depois destas coisas, atravessou Jesus o mar da Galileia, que é o de Tiberíades. 2 Seguia-o numerosa multidão, porque tinham visto os sinais que ele fazia na cura dos enfermos. 3 Então, subiu Jesus ao monte e assentou-se ali com os seus discípulos. 4 Ora, a Páscoa, festa dos judeus, estava próxima. 5 Então, Jesus, erguendo os olhos e vendo que grande multidão vinha ter com ele, disse a Filipe: Onde compraremos pães para lhes dar a comer? 6 Mas dizia isto para o experimentar; porque ele bem sabia o que estava para fazer. 7 Respondeu-lhe Filipe: Não lhes bastariam duzentos denários de pão, para receber cada um o seu pedaço. 8 Um de seus discípulos, chamado André, irmão de Simão Pedro, informou a Jesus: 9 Está aí um rapaz que tem cinco pães de cevada e dois peixinhos; mas isto que é para tanta gente? 10 Disse Jesus: Fazei o povo assentar-se; pois havia naquele lugar muita relva. Assentaram-se, pois, os homens em número de quase cinco mil. 11 Então, Jesus tomou os pães e, tendo dado graças, distribuiu-os entre eles; e também igualmente os peixes, quanto queriam. 12 E, quando já estavam fartos, disse Jesus aos seus discípulos: Recolhei os pedaços que sobraram, para que nada se perca. 13 Assim, pois, o fizeram e encheram doze cestos de pedaços dos cinco pães de cevada, que sobraram aos que haviam comido. 14 Vendo, pois, os homens o sinal que Jesus fizera, disseram: Este é, verdadeiramente, o profeta que devia vir ao mundo.

1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he said to Philip, From where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter' brother, said to him,

9 There is a lad here, which has five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.

14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
