1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

1 Tämän jälkeen Jeesus lähti Galileanjärven eli Tiberiaanjärven toiselle puolen.

2 Häntä seurasi suuri väkijoukko, sillä ihmiset olivat nähneet tunnusteot, joita hän teki parantamalla sairaita.

3 Jeesus nousi vuorenrinteelle ja asettui opetuslapsineen sinne istumaan.

4 Juutalaisten pääsiäisjuhla oli lähellä.

6 Tämän hän sanoi koetellakseen Filippusta, sillä hän tiesi kyllä, mitä tekisi.

8 Silloin eräs opetuslapsi, Simon Pietarin veli Andreas, sanoi Jeesukselle:

9 Täällä on poika, jolla on viisi ohraleipää ja kaksi kalaa. Mutta miten ne riittäisivät noin suurelle joukolle?

11 Jeesus otti leivät, kiitti Jumalaa ja jakoi leivät syömään asettuneille. Samoin hän jakoi kalat, ja kaikki saivat niin paljon kuin halusivat.

13 He tekivät niin, ja viidestä ohraleivästä kertyi vielä kaksitoista täyttä korillista palasia, jotka olivat jääneet syömättä.
