10 Quando os apóstolos voltaram, contaram a Jesus tudo que tinham feito. Em seguida, Jesus se retirou para a cidade de Betsaida, a fim de estar a sós com eles. 11 As multidões descobriram seu paradeiro e o seguiram. Ele as recebeu, ensinou-lhes a respeito do reino de Deus e curou os que estavam enfermos.

12 No fim da tarde, os Doze se aproximaram e lhe disseram: "Mande as multidões aos povoados e campos vizinhos, para que encontrem comida e abrigo para passar a noite, pois estamos num lugar isolado".

13 Jesus, porém, disse: "Providenciem vocês mesmos alimento para eles".

"Temos apenas cinco pães e dois peixes", responderam. "Ou o senhor espera que compremos comida para todo esse povo?" 14 Havia ali cerca de cinco mil homens.

Jesus respondeu: "Digam a eles que se sentem em grupos de cinquenta". 15 Os discípulos seguiram sua instrução, e todos se sentaram. 16 Jesus tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes, olhou para o céu e os abençoou. Então, partiu-os em pedaços e os entregou aos discípulos para que distribuíssem ao povo. 17 Todos comeram à vontade, e os discípulos encheram ainda doze cestos com as sobras.

10 And when the apostles returned, they related to him as many things as they did. And having taken them along, he withdrew in private into a desolate place of a city called Bethsaida.

11 But the multitudes having known, they followed him. And having received them, he spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and he cured those who had need of healing.

12 And the day began to decline, and the twelve having come near, they said to him, Send the multitude away, so that, after going into the villages and fields around, they may rest and find provision, because we are here in a desolate

13 But he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, There are for us not more than five loaves and two fishes, unless, after going, we might buy food for all this people.

14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down in groups of fifty each.

15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

16 And after taking the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke in pieces, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

17 And they ate, and were all filled. And there were taken up to them of the remaining fragments, twelve baskets.
