1 PASADAS estas cosas, fuése Jesús de la otra parte de la mar de Galilea, que es de Tiberias.

2 Y seguíale grande multitud, porque veían sus señales que hacía en los enfermos.

3 Y subió Jesús á un monte, y se sentó allí con sus discípulos.

4 Y estaba cerca la Pascua, la fiesta de los Judíos.

5 Y como alzó Jesús los ojos, y vió que había venido á él grande multitud, dice á Felipe: ¿De dónde compraremos pan para que coman éstos?

6 Mas esto decía para probarle; porque él sabía lo que había de hacer.

7 Respondióle Felipe: Doscientos denarios de pan no les bastarán, para que cada uno de ellos tome un poco.

8 Dícele uno de sus discípulos, Andrés, hermano de Simón Pedro:

9 Un muchacho está aquí que tiene cinco panes de cebada y dos pececillos; ¿mas qué es esto entre tantos?

10 Entonces Jesús dijo: Haced recostar la gente. Y había mucha hierba en aquel lugar: y recostáronse como número de cinco mil varones.

11 Y tomó Jesús aquellos panes, y habiendo dado gracias, repartió á los discípulos, y los discípulos á los que estaban recostados: asimismo de los peces, cuanto querían.

12 Y como fueron saciados, dijo á sus discípulos: Recoged los pedazos que han quedado, porque no se pierda nada.

13 Cogieron pues, é hinchieron doce cestas de pedazos de los cinco panes de cebada, que sobraron á los que habían comido.

14 Aquellos hombres entonces, como vieron la señal que Jesús había hecho, decían: Este verdaderamente es el profeta que había de venir al mundo.

1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

2 and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

3 and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

4 and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.

5 Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? --

6 and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denaries worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;

8 one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter -- saith to him,

9 There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?

10 And Jesus said, Make the men to sit down; and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

11 and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

12 And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;

13 they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.

14 The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said -- This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;
