1 Depois disto partiu Jesus para o outro lado do mar da Galileia, que é o de Tiberíades.

2 E grande multidão o seguia, porque via os sinais que operava sobre os enfermos.

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

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

5 Então Jesus, levantando os olhos, e vendo que uma grande multidão vinha ter com ele, disse a Filipe: Onde compraremos pão, para estes comerem?

6 Mas dizia isto para o experimentar; porque ele bem sabia o que havia de fazer.

7 Filipe respondeu-lhe: Duzentos dinheiros de pão não lhes bastarão, para que cada um deles tome um pouco.

8 E um dos seus discípulos, André, irmão de Simão Pedro, disse-lhe:

9 Está aqui um rapaz que tem cinco pães de cevada e dois peixinhos; mas que é isto para tantos?

10 E disse Jesus: Mandai assentar os homens. E havia muita relva naquele lugar. Assentaram-se, pois, os homens em número de quase cinco mil.

11 E Jesus tomou os pães e, havendo dado graças, repartiu-os pelos discípulos, e os discípulos pelos que estavam assentados; e igualmente também dos peixes, quanto eles queriam.

12 E, quando estavam saciados, disse aos seus discípulos: Recolhei os pedaços que sobejaram, para que nada se perca.

13 Recolheram-nos, pois, e encheram doze cestos de pedaços dos cinco pães de cevada, que sobejaram aos que haviam comido.

14 Vendo, pois, aqueles homens o milagre que Jesus tinha feito, diziam: Este é verdadeiramente o Profeta que devia vir ao mundo.

1 Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias),

2 and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick.

3 Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples.

4 The Jewish Passover Festival was near.

5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"

6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

7 Philip answered him, "It would take more than half a year's wages "to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"

8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up,

9 "Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"

10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down (about five thousand men were there).

11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted."

13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

14 After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."
