1 Derefter drog Jesus bort til hin side av den Galileiske Sjø, Tiberias-sjøen;

2 og meget folk fulgte ham, fordi de så de tegn han gjorde på de syke.

3 Men Jesus gikk op i fjellet, og han satte sig der med sine disipler.

4 Og påsken, jødenes høitid, var nær.

5 Da nu Jesus løftet sine øine og så at meget folk kom til ham, sa han til Filip: Hvor skal vi kjøpe brød, så disse kan få mat?

6 Men dette sa han for å prøve ham; for han visste selv hvad han vilde gjøre.

7 Filip svarte ham: Brød for to hundre penninger er ikke nok for dem så hver av dem kan få et lite stykke.

8 En av hans disipler, Andreas, Simon Peters bror, sier til ham:

9 Her er en liten gutt som har fem byggbrød og to småfisker; men hvad er det til så mange?

10 Jesus sa: La folket sette sig ned! Det var meget gress på stedet, og mennene satte sig da ned, omkring fem tusen i tallet.

11 Da tok Jesus brødene og takket, og delte dem ut til dem som satt der, likeledes av småfiskene, så meget de vilde ha.

12 Men da de var blitt mette, sier han til sine disipler: Sank sammen stykkene som er blitt tilovers, forat ikke noget skal spilles!

13 Da sanket de sammen, og de fylte tolv kurver med stykker av de fem byggbrød, som var blitt tilovers efter dem som hadde ett.

14 Da nu folket så det tegn han gjorde, sa de: Dette er i sannhet profeten som skal komme til verden.

1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick. 3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?" 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little."

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"

10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired. 12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost." 13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."
