13 Isus, cînd a auzit vestea aceasta, a plecat de acolo într'o corabie, ca să Se ducă singur la o parte, într'un loc pustiu. Noroadele, cînd au auzit lucrul acesta, au ieşit din cetăţi şi s'au luat după El pe jos.

14 Cînd a ieşit din corabie, Isus a văzut o gloată mare, I s'a făcut milă de ea, şi a vindecat pe cei bolnavi.

15 Cînd s'a înserat, ucenicii s'au apropiat de El, şi I-au zis: ,,Locul acesta este pustiu, şi vremea iată că a trecut; dă drumul noroadelor să se ducă prin sate să-şi cumpere de mîncare.

16 ,,N'au nevoie să plece, le -a răspuns Isus; ,,daţi-le voi să mănînce.

17 Dar ei I-au zis: ,,N'avem aici decît cinci pîni şi doi peşti.

18 Şi El le -a zis: ,,Aduceţi -i aici la Mine.

19 Apoi a poruncit noroadelor să şadă pe iarbă, a luat cele cinci pîni şi cei doi peşti, Şi -a ridicat ochii spre cer, a binecuvîntat, a frînt pînile şi le -a dat ucenicilor, iar ei le-au împărţit noroadelor.

20 Toţi au mîncat şi s'au săturat; şi s'au ridicat douăsprezece coşuri pline cu rămăşiţele de fărămituri.

21 Ceice mîncaseră, erau ca la cinci mii de bărbaţi, afară de femei şi de copii.

13 Now when it came to the ears of Jesus, he went away from there in a boat, to a waste place by himself: and the people hearing of it, went after him on foot from the towns.

14 And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.

15 And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, This place is waste land, and the time is now past; send the people away so that they may go into the towns and get themselves food.

16 But Jesus said to them, There is no need for them to go away; give them food yourselves.

17 And they say to him, We have here but five cakes of bread and two fishes.

18 And he said, Give them to me.

19 And he gave orders for the people to be seated on the grass; and he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing, and made division of the food, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

20 And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.

21 And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.
