30 And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus. And they related to him all things, {both} what they had done and what they had taught.

31 And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many, and they had not leisure even to eat.

32 And they went away apart into a desert place by ship.

33 And many saw them going, and recognised them, and ran together there on foot, out of all the cities, and got {there} before them.

34 And on leaving {the ship} {Jesus} saw a great crowd, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

35 And when it was already late in the day, his disciples coming to him say, The place is desert, and it is already late in the day;

36 send them away that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat.

37 And he answering said to them, Give *ye* them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat?

38 And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? Go {and} see. And when they knew they say, Five, and two fishes.

39 And he ordered them to make them all sit down by companies on the green grass.

40 And they sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties.

41 And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave {them} to his disciples that they might set {them} before them. And the two fishes he divided among all.

42 And they all ate and were satisfied.

43 And they took up of fragments the fillings of twelve hand-baskets, and of the fishes.

44 And those that ate of the loaves were five thousand men.

30 Ja apostolit kokoontuivat Jeesuksen tykö ja kertoivat hänelle kaikki, mitä olivat tehneet ja mitä olivat opettaneet.

32 Ja he lähtivät venheellä autioon paikkaan, yksinäisyyteen.

33 Ja he näkivät heidän lähtevän, ja monet saivat siitä tiedon ja riensivät sinne jalkaisin kaikista kaupungeista ja saapuivat ennen heitä.

34 Ja astuessaan maihin hän näki paljon kansaa, ja hänen kävi heitä sääliksi, koska he olivat niinkuin lampaat, joilla ei ole paimenta, ja hän rupesi opettamaan heille moninaisia.

39 Niin hän määräsi heille, että kaikkien oli asetuttava ruokakunnittain vihantaan ruohikkoon.

40 Ja he laskeutuivat ryhmä ryhmän viereen, toisiin sata, toisiin viisikymmentä.

41 Ja hän otti ne viisi leipää ja kaksi kalaa, katsoi ylös taivaaseen ja siunasi ja mursi leivät ja antoi ne opetuslapsilleen kansan eteen pantaviksi; myöskin ne kaksi kalaa hän jakoi kaikille.

42 Ja kaikki söivät ja tulivat ravituiksi.

43 Sitten he keräsivät palaset, kaksitoista täyttä vakallista, ja tähteet kaloista.

44 Ja niitä, jotka olivat syöneet näitä leipiä, oli viisituhatta miestä.
