10 E GLI apostoli, essendo ritornati, raccontarono a Gesù tutte le cose che aveano fatte. Ed egli, avendoli presi seco, si ritrasse in disparte, in un luogo deserto della città detta Betsaida.

11 Ma le turbe, avendolo saputo, lo seguitarono; ed egli, accoltele, ragionava loro del regno di Dio, e guariva coloro che avean bisogno di guarigione.

12 Or il giorno cominciava a dichinare; e i dodici, accostatisi, gli dissero: Licenzia la moltitudine, acciocchè se ne vadano per le castella, e il contado d’intorno; ed alberghino, e trovino da mangiare; perciocchè noi siam qui in luogo deserto.

13 Ma egli disse loro: Date lor voi da mangiare. Ed essi dissero: Noi non abbiam altro che cinque pani e due pesci; se già non andassimo a comperar della vittuaglia per tutto questo popolo.

14 Perciocchè erano intorno a cinquemila uomini. Ma egli disse a’ suoi discepoli: Fateli coricare in terra per cerchi, a cinquanta per cerchio.

15 Ed essi fecero così, e li fecero coricar tutti.

16 Ed egli prese i cinque pani, e i due pesci; e levati gli occhi al cielo, li benedisse, e li ruppe, e li diede a’ suoi discepoli, per metterli davanti alla moltitudine.

17 E tutti mangiarono, e furono saziati; e si levò de’ pezzi, ch’eran loro avanzati, dodici corbelli

10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. 12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. 13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. 14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
