10 Os apóstolos voltaram e contaram a Jesus tudo o que haviam feito. Então ele os levou consigo, e foram sozinhos para o povoado de Betsaida. 11 Mas as multidões souberam disso e o seguiram. E Jesus os recebeu, falou a respeito do Reino de Deus e curou os que precisavam ser curados.

12 Estava anoitecendo, e por isso os doze apóstolos foram e disseram a Jesus:

— Mande esta gente embora. Eles podem ir aos povoados e sítios que ficam por perto daqui e lá encontrarão o que comer e onde ficar, pois este lugar é deserto.

13 Mas Jesus respondeu:

— Deem vocês mesmos comida a eles.

Os discípulos disseram:

— Só temos cinco pães e dois peixes. O senhor quer que a gente vá comprar comida para toda esta multidão?

14 Estavam ali mais ou menos cinco mil homens. Jesus ordenou aos seus discípulos:

— Mandem o povo sentar-se em grupos de mais ou menos cinquenta pessoas.

15 Os discípulos obedeceram e mandaram que todos se sentassem. 16 Aí Jesus pegou os cinco pães e os dois peixes, olhou para o céu e deu graças a Deus por eles. Depois partiu os pães e os peixes e os entregou aos discípulos para que eles distribuíssem ao povo. 17 Todos comeram e ficaram satisfeitos, e os discípulos ainda encheram doze cestos com os pedaços que sobraram.

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 spoke unto them of the kingdom of God and healed those 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 than five loaves and two fishes, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.

14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in companies of fifty.

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 broke and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

17 And they ate and were all filled, and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
