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.

10 En toe die apostels terugkom en Hom alles vertel wat hulle gedoen het, het Hy hulle saamgeneem en in die eensaamheid gegaan na 'n verlate plek van 'n stad met die naam van Bets ida.

11 Maar die skare het dit te wete gekom en Hom gevolg; en Hy het hulle ontvang en met hulle gespreek oor die koninkryk van God, en die wat genesing nodig gehad het, gesond gemaak.

12 Toe die dag begin daal, kom die twaalf na Hom en sê vir Hom: Stuur die skare weg, sodat hulle na die dorpe en buitewyke in die omtrek kan gaan en herberg en voedsel kry; want ons is hier in 'n verlate plek.

13 Maar Hy sê vir hulle: Gee julle vir hulle iets om te eet. Maar hulle antwoord: Ons het nie meer as vyf brode en twee visse nie, tensy ons voedsel gaan koop vir al hierdie mense.

14 Want daar was omtrent vyf duisend manne. Maar Hy sê vir sy dissipels: Laat hulle in groepe van vyftig sit.

15 En hulle het dit gedoen en almal laat sit.

16 Toe neem Hy die vyf brode en die twee visse, en nadat Hy opgekyk het na die hemel, seën Hy dit en breek dit en gee dit aan die dissipels om dit aan die skare voor te sit.

17 En hulle het geëet en is almal versadig, en van wat vir hulle van die brokstukke oorgebly het, is daar twaalf mandjies vol opgetel.
