1 Algum tempo depois Jesus partiu para a outra margem do mar da Galiléia ( ou seja, do mar de Tiberíades ),

2 e grande multidão continuava a segui-lo, porque vira os sinais miraculosos que ele tinha realizado nos doentes.

3 Então Jesus subiu ao monte e sentou-se com os seus discípulos.

4 Estava próxima a festa judaica da Páscoa.

5 Levantando os olhos e vendo uma grande multidão que se aproximava, Jesus disse a Filipe: "Onde compraremos pão para esse povo comer? "

6 Fez essa pergunta apenas para pô-lo à prova, pois já tinha em mente o que ia fazer.

7 Filipe lhe respondeu: "Duzentos denários não comprariam pão suficiente para que cada um recebesse um pedaço! "

8 Outro discípulo, André, irmão de Simão Pedro, tomou a palavra:

9 "Aqui está um rapaz com cinco pães de cevada e dois peixinhos, mas o que é isto para tanta gente? "

10 Disse Jesus: "Mandem o povo assentar-se". Havia muita grama naquele lugar, e todos se assentaram. Eram cerca de cinco mil homens.

11 Então Jesus tomou os pães, deu graças e os repartiu entre os que estavam assentados, tanto quanto queriam; e fez o mesmo com os peixes.

12 Depois que todos receberam o suficiente para comer, disse aos seus discípulos: "Ajuntem os pedaços que sobraram. Que nada seja desperdiçado".

13 Então eles os ajuntaram e encheram doze cestos com os pedaços dos cinco pães de cevada deixados por aqueles que tinham comido.

14 Depois de ver o sinal miraculoso que Jesus tinha realizado, o povo começou a dizer: "Sem dúvida este é 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.
