13 E GESÙ, udito ciò, si ritrasse di là sopra una navicella, in un luogo deserto, in disparte. E la turbe uditolo, lo seguitarono a piè, dalle città.

14 E Gesù, essendo smontato dalla navicella, vide una gran moltitudine, e fu mosso a compassione inverso loro, e sanò gl’infermi d’infra loro.

15 E, facendosi sera, i suoi discepoli gli si accostarono, dicendo: Questo luogo è deserto, e l’ora è già passata; licenzia le turbe, acciocchè vadano per le castella, e si comperino da mangiare.

16 Ma Gesù disse loro: Non han bisogno di andarsene; date lor voi da mangiare.

17 Ed essi gli dissero: Noi non abbiam qui se non cinque pani, e due pesci.

18 Ed egli disse: Recatemeli qua.

19 E comandò che le turbe si coricassero sopra l’erba; poi prese i cinque pani, e i due pesci; e levati gli occhi al cielo, fece la benedizione; e, rotti i pani, li diede a’ discepoli, e i discepoli alle turbe.

20 E tutti mangiarono, e furon saziati; poi i discepoli levarono l’avanzo de’ pezzi, e ve ne furono dodici corbelli pieni.

21 Or coloro che aveano mangiato erano intorno a cinquemila uomini, oltre alle donne ed i fanciulli

13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. 14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 He said, Bring them hither to me. 19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
