1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick. 3 Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Jesus therefore, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?" 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may receive a little."

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"

10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fish as much as they desired. 12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost." 13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten. 14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."

1 Depois disto Jesus atravessou o mar da Galiléia, que é o de Tiberíades.

2 Uma grande multidão seguia-o, porque viram os milagres que operara nos que se achavam enfermos.

3 Jesus subiu ao monte, e ali se assentou com seus discípulos.

4 Ora a páscoa, festa dos judeus, estava próxima.

5 Jesus, então, levantando os olhos e vendo que uma grande multidão vinha ter com ele, disse a Filipe: Onde compraremos pão para lhes dar de comer?

6 (Mas dizia isto para o experimentar; porque ele sabia o que ia fazer).

7 Respondeu-lhe Filipe: Duzentos denários de pão não lhes bastam, para que cada um receba um pouco.

8 Um de seus discípulos, chamado André, irmão de Pedro, disse-lhe:

9 Está aqui um rapaz, que tem cinco pães de cevada e dois peixes, mas que é isto para tanto povo?

10 Disse Jesus: Fazei sentar o povo. Havia naquele lugar muito feno. Sentaram-se, pois, os homens em número de cerca de cinco mil.

11 Jesus, então, tomou os pães e, tendo dado graças, distribuiu-os pelos que estavam sentados; e do mesmo modo dos peixes, quanto queriam.

12 Depois de saciados, disse Jesus a seus discípulos: Recolhei os pedaços que sobejaram, para que nada se perca.

13 Assim os recolheram e encheram doze cestos de pedaços dos cinco pães de cevada, que sobejaram aos que haviam comido.

14 Quando o povo viu o milagre que Jesus fizera, dizia: Este é verdadeiramente o profeta que havia de vir ao mundo.
