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 And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard {of it} followed him on foot from the cities.

14 And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.

15 But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and {much of} the {day} time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give *ye* them to eat.

17 But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.

18 And he said, Bring them here to me.

19 And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave {them} to the disciples, and the disciples {gave them} to the crowds.

20 And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.

21 But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
