30 Os apóstolos voltaram e contaram a Jesus tudo o que tinham feito e ensinado. 31 Havia ali tanta gente, chegando e saindo, que Jesus e os apóstolos não tinham tempo nem para comer. Então ele lhes disse:

— Venham! Vamos sozinhos para um lugar deserto a fim de descansarmos um pouco.

32 Então foram sozinhos de barco para um lugar deserto. 33 Porém muitas pessoas os viram sair e os reconheceram. De todos os povoados, muitos correram pela margem e chegaram lá antes deles. 34 Quando Jesus desceu do barco, viu a multidão e teve pena daquela gente porque pareciam ovelhas sem pastor. E começou a ensinar muitas coisas.

35 De tardinha, os discípulos chegaram perto de Jesus e disseram:

— Já é tarde, e este lugar é deserto. 36 Mande esta gente embora, a fim de que vão aos sítios e povoados de perto daqui e comprem alguma coisa para comer.

37 Mas Jesus respondeu:

— Deem vocês mesmos comida a eles.

Os discípulos disseram:

— Para comprarmos pão para toda esta gente, nós precisaríamos de duzentas moedas de prata .

38 Jesus perguntou:

— Quantos pães vocês têm? Vão ver.

Os discípulos foram ver e disseram:

— Temos cinco pães e dois peixes.

39 Então Jesus mandou o povo sentar-se em grupos na grama verde. 40 Todos se sentaram em grupos de cem e de cinquenta. 41 Aí Jesus pegou os cinco pães e os dois peixes, olhou para o céu e deu graças a Deus. Depois partiu os pães e os entregou aos discípulos para que eles distribuíssem ao povo. E também dividiu os dois peixes com todos. 42 Todos comeram e ficaram satisfeitos. 43 E os discípulos ainda recolheram doze cestos cheios de pedaços de pão e de peixe. 44 Foram cinco mil os homens que comeram os pães.

30 And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus, and reported unto him all things, as many as they had done, and as many as they had taught.

31 And he saith unto themCome, ye yourselves, apart, into a desert place, and rest yourselves a little. For they who were coming and they who were going were many, and, not even to eat, were they finding fitting opportunity.

32 And they departed, in the boat, into a desert place, apart.

33 And many saw them going away, and took note of it, and, afoot, from all the cities, ran they together thither,and outwent them.

34 And, coming forth, he saw, a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd, and he began to be teaching them many things.

35 And, already, a late hour, having arrived, his disciples came unto him and were saying, A desert, is the place, and it is, already, a late hour:

36 dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat.

37 But, he, answering said to themYe, give them, to eat. And they say unto himShall we depart and buy two hundred denaries worth of loaves, and give them to eat?

38 And, he, saith unto themHow many loaves, have ye? Go, see! And, getting to know, they sayFive, and, two fishes.

39 And he gave them orders, that all should be made recline, in parties, upon, the green grass.

40 And they fell back, in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.

41 And, taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, he blessed, and brake up the loaves, and began giving unto the disciples, that they might set before them, and, the two fishes, divided he, unto all.

42 And they did all eat, and were filled.

43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve baskets, full measure, and from the fishes.

44 And they who did eat the loaves were, five thousand men.
