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 Апостолы, возвратившись, рассказали Ему, что они сделали; и Он, взяв их с Собою, удалился особо в пустое место, близ города, называемого Вифсаидою.
11 Но народ, узнав, пошел за Ним; и Он, приняв их, беседовал с ними о Царствии Божием и требовавших исцеления исцелял.
12 День же начал склоняться к вечеру. И, приступив к Нему, двенадцать говорили Ему: отпусти народ, чтобы они пошли в окрестные селения и деревни ночевать и достали пищи; потому что мы здесь в пустом месте.
13 Но Он сказал им: вы дайте им есть. Они сказали: у нас нет более пяти хлебов и двух рыб; разве нам пойти купить пищи для всех сих людей?
14 Ибо их было около пяти тысяч человек. Но Он сказал ученикам Своим: рассадите их рядами по пятидесяти.
15 И сделали так, и рассадили всех.
16 Он же, взяв пять хлебов и две рыбы и воззрев на небо, благословил их, преломил и дал ученикам, чтобы раздать народу.
17 И ели, и насытились все; и оставшихся у них кусков набрано двенадцать коробов.
