1 Depois, Jesus atravessou o Mar da Galileia, também conhecido como Mar de Tiberíades.
2 Uma multidão enorme - em grande parte formada por viajantes que iam a Jerusalém para a festa anual da Páscoa - seguia-o para onde quer que fosse, para o ver curar os doentes. Assim, quando Jesus subiu ao monte e se sentou com os discípulos à sua volta,
5 em breve viu que um grande grupo de pessoas subia também a colina à sua procura. Voltando-se para Filipe, perguntou: Filipe, onde poderemos comprar pão para alimentarmos esta gente toda?
6 Estava a experimentá-lo, pois já sabia o que ia fazer.
7 Filipe respondeu: Só para isso era preciso uma fortuna .
8 André, irmão de Simão Pedro, acrescentou:
9 Está aqui um rapaz com cinco pães de cevada e alguns peixes! Mas de que serve para multidão tão numerosa?
10 Digam a toda a gente que se sente, mandou Jesus. E todos se sentaram na colina relvada - só homens eram aproximadamente cinco mil. Jesus, pegando nos pães, deu graças a Deus e passou-os ao povo. Depois fez o mesmo com os peixes. E toda a gente comeu até estar satisfeita.
12 Agora juntem os sobejos, disse Jesus aos discípulos, para que nada se estrague.
13 E encheram-se doze cestos, só de restos.
14 Quando o povo se deu conta daquele grande milagre, exclamou: Sem dúvida é este o Profeta, cuja vinda temos esperado!
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.
