30 Os apóstolos reuniram-se a Jesus e lhe relataram tudo o que tinham feito e ensinado.

31 Havia muita gente indo e vindo, a ponto de eles não terem tempo para comer. Jesus lhes disse: "Venham comigo para um lugar deserto e descansem um pouco".

32 Assim, eles se afastaram num barco para um lugar deserto.

33 Mas muitos dos que os viram retirar-se, tendo-os reconhecido, correram a pé de todas as cidades e chegaram lá antes deles.

34 Quando Jesus saiu do barco e viu uma grande multidão, teve compaixão deles, porque eram como ovelhas sem pastor. Então começou a ensinar-lhes muitas coisas.

35 Já era tarde e, por isso, os seus discípulos aproximaram-se dele e disseram: "Este é um lugar deserto, e já é tarde.

36 Manda embora o povo para que possa ir aos campos e povoados vizinhos comprar algo para comer".

37 Ele, porém, respondeu: "Dêem-lhes vocês algo para comer". Eles lhe disseram: "Isto exigiria duzentos denários! Devemos gastar tanto dinheiro em pão e dar-lhes de comer? "

38 Perguntou ele: "Quantos pães vocês têm? Verifiquem". Quando ficaram sabendo, disseram: "Cinco pães e dois peixes".

39 Então Jesus ordenou que fizessem todo o povo assentar-se em grupos na grama verde.

40 Assim, eles se assentaram em grupos de cem e de cinqüenta.

41 Tomando os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, olhando para o céu, deu graças e partiu os pães. Em seguida, entregou-os aos seus discípulos para que os servissem ao povo. E também dividiu os dois peixes entre todos eles.

42 Todos comeram e ficaram satisfeitos,

43 e os discípulos recolheram doze cestos cheios de pedaços de pão e de peixe.

44 Os que comeram foram cinco mil homens.

30 And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus; and they told him all things, whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught. 31 And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart. 33 And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them. 34 And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent; 36 send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat. 37 But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings’ worth of bread, and give them to eat? 38 And he saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 39 And he commanded them that all should sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 41 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake the loaves; and he gave to the disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42 And they all ate, and were filled. 43 And they took up broken pieces, twelve basketfuls, and also of the fishes. 44 And they that ate the loaves were five thousand men.
