30 E os apóstolos ajuntaram-se a Jesus, e contaram-lhe tudo, tanto o que tinham feito como o que tinham ensinado.
31 E ele disse-lhes: Vinde vós, aqui à parte, a um lugar deserto, e repousai um pouco. Porque havia muitos que iam e vinham, e não tinham tempo para comer.
32 E foram sós num barco, em particular, para um lugar deserto.
33 E a multidão viu-os partir, e muitos o conheceram; e correram para lá, a pé, de todas as cidades, e ali chegaram primeiro do que eles, e aproximavam-se dele.
34 E Jesus, saindo, viu uma grande multidão, e teve compaixão deles, porque eram como ovelhas que não têm pastor; e começou a ensinar-lhes muitas coisas.
35 E, como o dia fosse já muito adiantado, os seus discípulos se aproximaram dele, e lhe disseram: O lugar é deserto, e o dia está já muito adiantado.
36 Despede-os, para que vão aos lugares e aldeias circunvizinhas, e comprem pão para si; porque não têm que comer.
37 Ele, porém, respondendo, lhes disse: Dai-lhes vós de comer. E eles disseram-lhe: Iremos nós, e compraremos duzentos dinheiros de pão para lhes darmos de comer?
38 E ele disse-lhes: Quantos pães tendes? Ide ver. E, sabendo-o eles, disseram: Cinco pães e dois peixes.
39 E ordenou-lhes que fizessem assentar a todos, em ranchos, sobre a erva verde.
40 E assentaram-se repartidos de cem em cem, e de cinquenta em cinquenta.
41 E, tomando ele os cinco pães e os dois peixes, levantou os olhos ao céu, abençoou e partiu os pães, e deu-os aos seus discípulos para que os pusessem diante deles. E repartiu os dois peixes por todos.
42 E todos comeram, e ficaram fartos;
43 E levantaram doze cestos cheios de pedaços de pão e de peixe.
44 E os que comeram os pães eram quase cinco mil homens.
30 The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.
31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.
33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.
34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late.
36 Send the people away so that they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
37 But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take more than half a year's wages "! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"
38 "How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five —and two fish."
39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.
40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.
42 They all ate and were satisfied,
43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.
44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
