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 themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught. 31 He said to them, "Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. 33 They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him. 34 Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35 When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, "This place is deserted, and it is late in the day. 36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat."

37 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat."

They asked him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?"

38 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see."

When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."

39 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were filled. 43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish. 44 Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
