1 După aceea, Isus S'a dus dincolo de marea Galileii, numită marea Tiberiadei.
2 O mare gloată mergea după El, pentrucă vedea semnele pe cari le făcea cu cei bolnavi.
3 Isus S'a suit pe munte, şi şedea acolo cu ucenicii Săi.
4 Paştele, praznicul Iudeilor, erau aproape.
5 Isus Şi -a ridicat ochii, şi a văzut că o mare gloată vine spre El. Şi a zis lui Filip: ,,De unde avem să cumpărăm pîni ca să mănînce oamenii aceştia?
6 Spunea lucrul acesta ca să -l încerce, pentrucă ştia ce are de gînd să facă.
7 Filip i -a răspuns: ,,Pînile, pe cari le-am putea cumpăra cu două sute de lei (Greceşte: dinari.), n'ar ajunge ca fiecare să capete puţintel din ele.
8 Unul din ucenicii Săi, Andrei, fratele lui Simon Petru, I -a zis:
9 ,,Este aici un băieţel, care are cinci pîni de orz şi doi peşti; dar ce sînt acestea la atîţia?
10 Isus a zis: ,,Spuneţi oamenilor să şadă jos. În locul acela era multă iarbă. Oamenii au şezut jos, în număr de aproape cinci mii.
11 Isus a luat pînile, a mulţămit lui Dumnezeu, le -a împărţit ucenicilor, iar ucenicii le-au împărţit celorce şedeau jos; de asemenea, le -a dat şi din peşti cît au voit.
12 Dupăce s'au săturat, Isus a zis ucenicilor Săi: ,,Strîngeţi fărămiturile cari au rămas, ca să nu se piardă nimic.
13 Le-au adunat deci, şi au umplut douăsprezece coşuri cu fărămiturile cari rămăseseră din cele cinci pîni de orz, după ce mîncaseră toţi.
14 Oamenii aceia, cînd au văzut minunea, pe care o făcuse Isus, ziceau: ,,Cu adevărat, acesta este proorocul cel aşteptat în lume.
1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
2 and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;
3 and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,
4 and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.
5 Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? --
6 and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denaries worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;
8 one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter -- saith to him,
9 There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men to sit down; and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,
11 and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.
12 And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;
13 they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.
14 The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said -- This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;
