10 Ao voltarem, os apóstolos relataram a Jesus o que tinham feito. Então ele os tomou consigo, e retiraram-se para uma cidade chamada Betsaida;

11 mas as multidões ficaram sabendo, e o seguiram. Ele as acolheu, e falava-lhes acerca do Reino de Deus, e curava os que precisavam de cura.

12 Ao fim da tarde os Doze aproximaram-se dele e disseram: "Manda embora a multidão para que eles possam ir aos campos vizinhos e aos povoados, e encontrem comida e pousada, porque aqui estamos em lugar deserto".

13 Ele, porém, respondeu: "Dêem-lhes vocês algo para comer". Eles disseram: "Temos apenas cinco pães e dois peixes — a menos que compremos alimento para toda esta multidão".

14 ( E estavam ali cerca de cinco mil homens ). Mas ele disse aos seus discípulos: "Façam-nos sentar-se em grupos de cinqüenta".

15 Os discípulos assim fizeram, e todos se assentaram.

16 Tomando os cinco pães e os dois peixes, e olhando para o céu, deu graças e os partiu. Em seguida, entregou-os aos discípulos para que os servissem ao povo.

17 Todos comeram e ficaram satisfeitos, e os discípulos recolheram doze cestos cheios de pedaços que sobraram.

10 And the apostles, when they were returned, declared unto him what things they had done. And he took them, and withdrew apart to a city called Bethsaida. 11 But the multitudes perceiving it followed him: and he welcomed them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and them that had need of healing he cured. 12 And the day began to wear away; and the twelve came, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages and country round about, and lodge, and get provisions: 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; except we should go and buy food for all this people. 14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said unto his disciples, Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each. 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16 And 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 ate, and were all filled: and there was taken up that which remained over to them of broken pieces, twelve baskets.
