1 Depois disso, atravessou Jesus o lago da Galiléia {que é o de Tiberíades.}
2 Seguia-o uma grande multidão, porque via os milagres que fazia em beneficio dos enfermos.
3 Jesus subiu a um monte e ali se sentou com seus discípulos.
4 Aproximava-se a Páscoa, festa dos judeus.
5 Jesus levantou os olhos sobre aquela grande multidão que vinha ter com ele e disse a Filipe: Onde compraremos pão para que todos estes tenham o que comer?
6 Falava assim para o experimentar, pois bem sabia o que havia de fazer.
7 Filipe respondeu-lhe: Duzentos denários de pão não lhes bastam, para que cada um receba um pedaço.
8 Um dos seus discípulos, chamado André, irmão de Simão Pedro, disse-lhe:
9 Está aqui um menino que tem cinco pães de cevada e dois peixes... mas que é isto para tanta gente?
10 Disse Jesus: Fazei-os assentar. Ora, havia naquele lugar muita relva. Sentaram-se aqueles homens em número de uns cinco mil.
11 Jesus tomou os pães e rendeu graças. Em seguida, distribuiu-os às pessoas que estavam sentadas, e igualmente dos peixes lhes deu quanto queriam.
12 Estando eles saciados, disse aos discípulos: Recolhei os pedaços que sobraram, para que nada se perca.
13 Eles os recolheram e, dos pedaços dos cinco pães de cevada que sobraram, encheram doze cestos.
14 À vista desse milagre de Jesus, aquela gente dizia: Este é verdadeiramente o profeta que há de vir ao mundo.
1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),
2 and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;
3 and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,
4 and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.
5 Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? --
6 and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denaries worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;
8 one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter -- saith to him,
9 There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men to sit down; and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,
11 and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.
12 And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;
13 they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.
14 The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said -- This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;
