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 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;
