13 耶稣听见了, 就离开那里, 独自坐船到旷野去。群众听见了, 就从各城步行来跟随他。

14 耶稣上了岸, 看见一大群人, 就怜悯他们, 医好了他们的病人。

15 黄昏的时候, 门徒前来对他说: "这是旷野的地方, 时间也不早了, 请叫群众散开, 好让他们往村里去, 买自己的食物吧。"

16 耶稣回答: "他们用不着离开, 你们给他们吃吧! "

17 但门徒说: "我们这里除了五个饼和两条鱼, 什么也没有。"

18 他说: "拿过来给我。"

19 于是吩咐群众坐在草地上, 拿起那五个饼两条鱼, 望着天, 祝谢了; 然后把饼擘开, 递给门徒, 门徒又分给群众。

20 大家都吃了, 并且吃饱了, 他们把剩下的零碎拾起来, 装满了十二个篮子。

21 吃的人, 除了妇女和孩子, 约有五千。

13 Now when Jesus heard it, he withdrew from thence in a boat, to a desert place apart: and when the multitudes heard thereof, they followed him on foot from the cities. 14 And he came forth, and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. 15 And when even was come, the disciples came to him, saying, The place is desert, and the time is already past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food. 16 But Jesus said unto them, They have no need to go away; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 And he said, Bring them hither to me. 19 And he commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes. 20 And they all ate, and were filled: and they took up that which remained over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. 21 And they that did eat were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
