Matteuse evangeelium 14

Viie tuhande mehe söötmine

13 Kui Jeesus sai sellest kuulda, lahkus ta paadiga kõrvalisse paika, et olla omaette. Sellest kuuldes järgnes rahvas talle jalgsi linnadest. 14 Kui Jeesus astus paadist kaldale ja nägi suurt rahvahulka, hakkas tal neist kahju; ja ta tegi terveks nende haiged.

15 Õhtu hakul tulid jüngrid tema juurde ja ütlesid: „See paik on üksildane ja aeg juba hiline. Saada rahvas minema, et nad läheksid küladesse endale süüa ostma!"

16 „Neil pole tarvis ära minna," vastas Jeesus. „Andke teie neile süüa!"

17 „Meil pole siin rohkem kui viis leiba ja kaks kala," kostsid jüngrid.

18 „Tooge need siia minu kätte!" ütles Jeesus. 19 Ta käskis rahval istuda rohule, võttis need viis leiba ja kaks kala, vaatas üles taevasse, õnnistas ja murdis ning ulatas jüngritele, need aga omakorda rahvale. 20 Kõik sõid ja said söönuks ning ülejäänud palukesi korjati kaksteist korvitäit. 21 Sööjaid oli seal ligi viis tuhat meest, arvestamata naisi ja lapsi.

13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities. 14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

15 And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16 But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. 17 And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. 18 He said, Bring them hither to me. 19 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. 20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full. 21 And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
