13 And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard {of it} followed him on foot from the cities.

14 And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.

15 But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and {much of} the {day} time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give *ye* them to eat.

17 But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.

18 And he said, Bring them here to me.

19 And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave {them} to the disciples, and the disciples {gave them} to the crowds.

20 And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.

21 But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

13 Jesus, ouvindo isto, retirou-se dali numa barca para um lugar deserto, à parte; quando as multidões o souberam, seguiram-no das cidades por terra.

14 Ele, ao desembarcar, viu uma grande multidão, compadeceu-se dela e curou os seus enfermos.

15 À tarde aproximaram-se dele os discípulos, dizendo: Este lugar é deserto e a hora é já passada; despede, pois, as multidões, para que, indo às aldeias, comprem alguma coisa para comer.

16 Mas Jesus lhes disse: Não precisam ir; dai-lhes vós de comer.

17 Replicaram-lhe: Não temos aqui senão cinco pães e dois peixes.

18 Disse-lhes ele: Trazei-mos cá.

19 Tendo mandado à multidão que se assentasse sobre a relva, tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, erguendo os olhos ao céu, deu graças e, partindo os pães, entregou-os aos discípulos, e os discípulos entregaram-nos à multidão.

20 Todos comeram e se fartaram; e do que sobejou levantaram doze cestos cheios de pedaços.

21 Ora os que comeram, foram cerca de cinco mil homens, além de mulheres e crianças.
