13 Udito ciò, Gesù si ritirò di là in barca verso un luogo deserto, in disparte; e le turbe, saputolo, lo seguitarono a piedi dalle città.

14 E Gesù, smontato dalla barca, vide una gran moltitudine; nebbe compassione, e ne guarì glinfermi.

15 Or, facendosi sera, i suoi discepoli gli si accostarono e gli dissero: Il luogo è deserto e lora è già passata; licenzia dunque le folle, affinché vadano pei villaggi a comprarsi da mangiare.

16 Ma Gesù disse loro: Non hanno bisogno dandarsene; date lor voi da mangiare!

17 Ed essi gli risposero: Non abbiam qui altro che cinque pani e due pesci.

18 Ed egli disse: Portatemeli qua.

19 Ed avendo ordinato alle turbe di accomodarsi sullerba, prese i cinque pani e i due pesci e, levati gli occhi al cielo, rese grazie; poi, spezzati i pani, li diede ai discepoli e i discepoli alle turbe.

20 E tutti mangiarono e furon sazi; e si portaron via, dei pezzi avanzati, dodici ceste piene.

21 E quelli che avevano mangiato eran circa cinquemila uomini, oltre le donne e i fanciulli.

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.
