1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, {or} of Tiberias,

2 and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.

3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:

4 but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

5 Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?

6 But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.

7 Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little {portion}.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,

9 There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?

10 {And} Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed {them} to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.

12 And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.

13 They gathered {them} therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.

14 The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.

1 Depois disso, atravessou Jesus o lago da Galiléia {que é o de Tiberíades.}

2 Seguia-o uma grande multidão, porque via os milagres que fazia em beneficio dos enfermos.

3 Jesus subiu a um monte e ali se sentou com seus discípulos.

4 Aproximava-se a Páscoa, festa dos judeus.

5 Jesus levantou os olhos sobre aquela grande multidão que vinha ter com ele e disse a Filipe: Onde compraremos pão para que todos estes tenham o que comer?

6 Falava assim para o experimentar, pois bem sabia o que havia de fazer.

7 Filipe respondeu-lhe: Duzentos denários de pão não lhes bastam, para que cada um receba um pedaço.

8 Um dos seus discípulos, chamado André, irmão de Simão Pedro, disse-lhe:

9 Está aqui um menino que tem cinco pães de cevada e dois peixes... mas que é isto para tanta gente?

10 Disse Jesus: Fazei-os assentar. Ora, havia naquele lugar muita relva. Sentaram-se aqueles homens em número de uns cinco mil.

11 Jesus tomou os pães e rendeu graças. Em seguida, distribuiu-os às pessoas que estavam sentadas, e igualmente dos peixes lhes deu quanto queriam.

12 Estando eles saciados, disse aos discípulos: Recolhei os pedaços que sobraram, para que nada se perca.

13 Eles os recolheram e, dos pedaços dos cinco pães de cevada que sobraram, encheram doze cestos.

14 À vista desse milagre de Jesus, aquela gente dizia: Este é verdadeiramente o profeta que há de vir ao mundo.
