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.

10 Les apôtres étant de retour, racontèrent à Jésus tout ce qu'ils avaient fait. Les ayant pris avec lui, il se retira à l'écart, dans un lieu solitaire, près d'une ville appelée Bethsaïda.

11 Le peuple l'ayant appris, le suivit, et Jésus les ayant reçus, leur parlait du royaume de Dieu, et il guérissait ceux qui avaient besoin de guérison.

12 Comme le jour commençait à baisser, les douze s'approchèrent et lui dirent: Renvoie cette multitude, afin qu'ils aillent dans les villages et dans les campagnes environnantes, pour se loger et trouver des vivres; car nous sommes ici dans un lieu désert.

13 Mais il leur dit: Vous-mêmes, donnez-leur à manger. Et ils répondirent: Nous n'avons pas plus de cinq pains et de deux poissons; à moins que nous n'allions acheter des vivres pour tout ce peuple;

14 Car ils étaient environ cinq mille hommes. Alors il dit à ses disciples: Faites-les asseoir par rangées de cinquante.

15 Et ils firent ainsi, et les firent tous asseoir.

16 Alors Jésus prit les cinq pains et les deux poissons, et levant les yeux au ciel, il les bénit, et les rompit, et les donna aux disciples, pour les présenter au peuple.

17 Tous en mangèrent, et furent rassasiés, et on emporta douze paniers pleins des morceaux qui restèrent.
