13 A essa notícia, Jesus partiu dali numa barca para se retirar a um lugar deserto, mas o povo soube e a multidão das cidades o seguiu a pé.

14 Quando desembarcou, vendo Jesus essa numerosa multidão, moveu-se de compaixão para ela e curou seus doentes.

15 Caía a tarde. Agrupados em volta dele, os discípulos disseram-lhe: Este lugar é deserto e a hora é avançada. Despede esta gente para que vá comprar víveres na aldeia.

16 Jesus, porém, respondeu: Não é necessário: dai-lhe vós mesmos de comer.

17 Mas, disseram eles, nós não temos aqui mais que cinco pães e dois peixes. _

18 Trazei-mos, disse-lhes ele.

19 Mandou, então, a multidão assentar-se na relva, tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, elevando os olhos ao céu, abençoou-os. Partindo em seguida os pães, deu-os aos seus discípulos, que os distribuíram ao povo.

20 Todos comeram e ficaram fartos, e, dos pedaços que sobraram, recolheram doze cestos cheios.

21 Ora, os convivas foram aproximadamente cinco mil homens, sem contar as mulheres e crianças.

13 and Jesus having heard, withdrew thence in a boat to a desolate place by himself, and the multitudes having heard did follow him on land from the cities.

14 And Jesus having come forth, saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion upon them, and did heal their infirm;

15 and evening having come, his disciples came to him, saying, The place is desolate, and the hour hath now past, let away the multitudes that, having gone to the villages, they may buy to themselves food.

16 And Jesus said to them, They have no need to go away -- give ye them to eat.

17 And they say to him, We have not here except five loaves, and two fishes.

18 And he said, Bring ye them to me hither.

19 And having commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass, and having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to the heaven, he did bless, and having broken, he gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes,

20 and they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces twelve hand-baskets full;

21 and those eating were about five thousand men, apart from women and children.
