1 După aceea, Isus S'a dus dincolo de marea Galileii, numită marea Tiberiadei.

2 O mare gloată mergea după El, pentrucă vedea semnele pe cari le făcea cu cei bolnavi.

3 Isus S'a suit pe munte, şi şedea acolo cu ucenicii Săi.

4 Paştele, praznicul Iudeilor, erau aproape.

5 Isus Şi -a ridicat ochii, şi a văzut că o mare gloată vine spre El. Şi a zis lui Filip: ,,De unde avem să cumpărăm pîni ca să mănînce oamenii aceştia?

6 Spunea lucrul acesta ca să -l încerce, pentrucă ştia ce are de gînd să facă.

7 Filip i -a răspuns: ,,Pînile, pe cari le-am putea cumpăra cu două sute de lei (Greceşte: dinari.), n'ar ajunge ca fiecare să capete puţintel din ele.

8 Unul din ucenicii Săi, Andrei, fratele lui Simon Petru, I -a zis:

9 ,,Este aici un băieţel, care are cinci pîni de orz şi doi peşti; dar ce sînt acestea la atîţia?

10 Isus a zis: ,,Spuneţi oamenilor să şadă jos. În locul acela era multă iarbă. Oamenii au şezut jos, în număr de aproape cinci mii.

11 Isus a luat pînile, a mulţămit lui Dumnezeu, le -a împărţit ucenicilor, iar ucenicii le-au împărţit celorce şedeau jos; de asemenea, le -a dat şi din peşti cît au voit.

12 Dupăce s'au săturat, Isus a zis ucenicilor Săi: ,,Strîngeţi fărămiturile cari au rămas, ca să nu se piardă nimic.

13 Le-au adunat deci, şi au umplut douăsprezece coşuri cu fărămiturile cari rămăseseră din cele cinci pîni de orz, după ce mîncaseră toţi.

14 Oamenii aceia, cînd au văzut minunea, pe care o făcuse Isus, ziceau: ,,Cu adevărat, acesta este proorocul cel aşteptat în lume.

1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee--that is, the sea of Tiberias.

2 And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.

3 Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.

4 Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

5 Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

6 This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.

7 Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,

9 There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?

10 Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.

11 Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

12 And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.

13 So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.

14 And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.
