10 And the apostles having returned related to him whatever they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart into {a desert place of} a city called Bethsaida.

11 But the crowds knowing {it} followed him; and he received them and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and cured those that had need of healing.

12 But the day began to decline, and the twelve came and said to him, Send away the crowd that they may go into the villages around, and {into} the fields, and lodge and find victuals, for here we are in a desert place.

13 And he said to them, Give *ye them to eat. And they said, We have not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless *we* should go and buy food for all this people;

14 for they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies by fifties.

15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

16 And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven he blessed them, and broke and gave to the disciples to set before the crowd.

17 And they all ate and were filled; and there was taken up of what had remained over and above to them in fragments twelve hand-baskets.

10 Quando os apóstolos voltaram, contaram-lhe tudo o que havia feito. E ele, levando-os consigo, retirou-se à parte para uma cidade chamada Betsaida.

11 Mas as multidões, percebendo isto, seguiram-no; e ele as recebeu, e falava-lhes do reino de Deus, e sarava os que necessitavam de cura.

12 Ora, quando o dia começava a declinar, aproximando-se os doze, disseram-lhe: Despede a multidão, para que, indo às aldeias e aos sítios em redor, se hospedem, e achem o que comer; porque aqui estamos em lugar deserto.

13 Mas ele lhes disse: Dai-lhes vós de comer. Responderam eles: Não temos senão cinco pães e dois peixes; salvo se nós formos comprar comida para todo este povo.

14 Pois eram cerca de cinco mil homens. Então disse a seus discípulos: Fazei-os reclinar-se em grupos de cerca de cinqüenta cada um.

15 Assim o fizeram, mandando que todos se reclinassem.

16 E tomando Jesus os cinco pães e os dois peixes, e olhando para o céu, os abençoou e partiu, e os entregava aos seus discípulos para os porem diante da multidão.

17 Todos, pois, comeram e se fartaram; e foram levantados, do que lhes sobejou, doze cestos de pedaços.
