13 Jesus, ouvindo isto, retirou-se dali num barco para um lugar deserto, à parte. Ao saberem disso, as multidões vieram das cidades seguindo-o por terra. 14 Ao desembarcar, Jesus viu uma grande multidão, compadeceu-se dela e curou os seus enfermos.

15 Ao cair da tarde, os discípulos se aproximaram de Jesus e disseram:

— Este lugar é deserto, e já é tarde. Mande as multidões embora, para que, indo pelas aldeias, comprem para si o que comer.

16 Jesus, porém, lhes disse:

— Não precisam ir embora; deem vocês mesmos de comer a eles.

17 Mas eles responderam:

— Não temos aqui senão cinco pães e dois peixes.

18 Então Jesus disse:

— Tragam esses pães e peixes aqui para mim.

19 E, tendo mandado que a multidão se assentasse sobre a relva, pegando os cinco pães e os dois peixes, erguendo os olhos para o céu, os abençoou. Depois, tendo partido os pães, deu-os aos discípulos, e estes deram às multidões. 20 Todos comeram e se fartaram, e ainda recolheram doze cestos cheios dos pedaços que sobraram. 21 E os que comeram eram cerca de cinco mil homens, além de mulheres e crianças.

13 When Jesus heard of it, he departed there 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 to them, They need not depart; give you them to eat.

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

18 He said, Bring them here 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 broke, 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.
