13 Logo que Jesus ouviu a notícia, partiu de barco para um lugar isolado, a fim de ficar só. As multidões, porém, descobriram para onde ele ia e o seguiram a pé, vindas de muitas cidades. 14 Quando Jesus saiu do barco, viu a grande multidão, teve compaixão dela e curou os enfermos.

15 Ao entardecer, os discípulos foram até ele e disseram: "Este lugar é isolado, e já está ficando tarde. Mande as multidões embora, para que possam ir aos povoados e comprar comida".

16 "Não há necessidade", disse Jesus. "Providenciem vocês mesmos alimento para elas."

17 Eles responderam: "Temos apenas cinco pães e dois peixes!".

18 "Tragam para cá", disse ele. 19 Em seguida, mandou o povo sentar-se na grama. Tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes, olhou para o céu e os abençoou. Então, partiu os pães em pedaços e os entregou a seus discípulos, que distribuíram às multidões. 20 Todos comeram à vontade, e os discípulos recolheram doze cestos com as sobras. 21 Os que comeram foram cerca de cinco mil homens, sem contar mulheres e crianças.

13 When Jesus heard this, he left that place and went by boat to a deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of it and followed him on foot from the towns.

14 When he got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd. He had compassion for them and healed their sick.

15 Now when evening came, the disciples went to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and it's already late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves."

16 But Jesus said to them,"They don't need to go away. You give them something to eat."

17 They told him, "We don't have anything here except five loaves of bread and two fish."

18 He said,"Bring them here to me."

19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves in pieces and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

20 All of them ate and were filled. Then the disciples picked up what was left of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.

21 Now those who had eaten were about 5,000 men, besides women and children.
