30 And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught. 31 And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart. 33 And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them. 34 And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent; 36 send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat. 37 But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings’ worth of bread, and give them to eat? 38 And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 39 And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 41 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42 And they all ate, and were filled. 43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes. 44 And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.

30 Ja apostolit kokoontuivat Jeesuksen tykö ja kertoivat hänelle kaikki, mitä olivat tehneet ja mitä olivat opettaneet.

32 Ja he lähtivät venheellä autioon paikkaan, yksinäisyyteen.

33 Ja he näkivät heidän lähtevän, ja monet saivat siitä tiedon ja riensivät sinne jalkaisin kaikista kaupungeista ja saapuivat ennen heitä.

34 Ja astuessaan maihin hän näki paljon kansaa, ja hänen kävi heitä sääliksi, koska he olivat niinkuin lampaat, joilla ei ole paimenta, ja hän rupesi opettamaan heille moninaisia.

39 Niin hän määräsi heille, että kaikkien oli asetuttava ruokakunnittain vihantaan ruohikkoon.

40 Ja he laskeutuivat ryhmä ryhmän viereen, toisiin sata, toisiin viisikymmentä.

41 Ja hän otti ne viisi leipää ja kaksi kalaa, katsoi ylös taivaaseen ja siunasi ja mursi leivät ja antoi ne opetuslapsilleen kansan eteen pantaviksi; myöskin ne kaksi kalaa hän jakoi kaikille.

42 Ja kaikki söivät ja tulivat ravituiksi.

43 Sitten he keräsivät palaset, kaksitoista täyttä vakallista, ja tähteet kaloista.

44 Ja niitä, jotka olivat syöneet näitä leipiä, oli viisituhatta miestä.
