1 Depois dessas coisas, Jesus atravessou o mar da Galileia, que é o de Tiberíades. 2 Uma grande multidão o seguia, porque tinham visto os sinais que ele fazia na cura dos enfermos. 3 Então Jesus subiu ao monte e sentou-se ali com os seus discípulos. 4 Ora, a Páscoa, festa dos judeus, estava próxima. 5 Então Jesus, erguendo os olhos e vendo que uma grande multidão se aproximava, disse a Filipe:

— Onde compraremos pão para lhes dar de comer?

6 Mas Jesus dizia isto para testá-lo, porque sabia o que estava para fazer. 7 Filipe respondeu:

— Nem mesmo duzentos denários de pão seriam suficientes para que cada um recebesse um pedaço.

8 Um dos discípulos, chamado André, irmão de Simão Pedro, disse a Jesus:

9 — Aqui está um menino que tem cinco pães de cevada e dois peixinhos. Mas o que é isto para tanta gente?

10 Jesus disse:

— Façam com que todos se assentem no chão.

Havia muita relva naquele lugar. Assim, os homens se assentaram, e eram quase cinco mil. 11 Então Jesus pegou os pães e, tendo dado graças, distribuiu-os entre eles; e também igualmente os peixes, tanto quanto queriam. 12 E, quando já estavam satisfeitos, Jesus disse aos seus discípulos:

— Recolham os pedaços que sobraram, para que nada se perca.

13 Assim, pois, o fizeram e encheram doze cestos de pedaços dos cinco pães de cevada, que sobraram depois que todos tinham comido.

14 Quando as pessoas viram o sinal que Jesus havia feito, disseram:

— Este é verdadeiramente o profeta que devia vir ao mundo.

1 After these things, Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee, that is, of Tiberias;

2 and there was following him a great multitude, because they had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick.

3 But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples.

4 Now the passover was near, the feast of the Jews.

5 So then Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and beholding that a great multitude was coming unto him, saith unto PhilipWhence are we to buy loaves, that these may eat?

6 But, this, he was saying, to test him; for, he himself, knew, what he was about to do.

7 Philip answered himTwo hundred denaries-worth of loaves, are not sufficient for them, that, each one, may take, a little.

8 One from among his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith unto him

9 There is a little lad here, that hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes,but, these,what are they, for such numbers?

10 Jesus saidMake the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, to the number of about five thousand.

11 Jesus therefore took the loaves, and, giving thanks, went on distributing unto them that reclined; in like manner, of the small fishes also: as much as they were wishing.

12 And, when they were well-filled, he saith unto his disciplesGather up the broken pieces left over, that nothing be lost.

13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets, with broken pieces out of the five barley loaves,which were left over by them who had eaten.

14 The people, therefore, seeing what signs he wrought, began to sayThis, is, of a truth, the prophet who was to come into the world.
