10 Ao voltarem, os apóstolos relataram a Jesus o que tinham feito. Então ele os tomou consigo, e retiraram-se para uma cidade chamada Betsaida;

11 mas as multidões ficaram sabendo, e o seguiram. Ele as acolheu, e falava-lhes acerca do Reino de Deus, e curava os que precisavam de cura.

12 Ao fim da tarde os Doze aproximaram-se dele e disseram: "Manda embora a multidão para que eles possam ir aos campos vizinhos e aos povoados, e encontrem comida e pousada, porque aqui estamos em lugar deserto".

13 Ele, porém, respondeu: "Dêem-lhes vocês algo para comer". Eles disseram: "Temos apenas cinco pães e dois peixes — a menos que compremos alimento para toda esta multidão".

14 ( E estavam ali cerca de cinco mil homens ). Mas ele disse aos seus discípulos: "Façam-nos sentar-se em grupos de cinqüenta".

15 Os discípulos assim fizeram, e todos se assentaram.

16 Tomando os cinco pães e os dois peixes, e olhando para o céu, deu graças e os partiu. Em seguida, entregou-os aos discípulos para que os servissem ao povo.

17 Todos comeram e ficaram satisfeitos, e os discípulos recolheram doze cestos cheios de pedaços que sobraram.

10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. 12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. 13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. 14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
