30 Reunindo-se os apóstolos com Jesus, contaram-lhe tudo quanto haviam feito e ensinado.

31 Ele lhes disse: Vinde a um lugar solitário, à parte, e descansai um pouco. Pois eram muitos os que vinham e iam, e nem tinham tempo para comer.

32 Então foram sós na barca a um lugar deserto.

33 Muitos os viram partir, e os reconheceram; correram para lá, a pé, de todas as cidades, e ali chegaram primeiro do que eles.

34 Ao desembarcar, viu Jesus uma grande multidão de homens e compadeceu-se deles, porque eram como ovelhas sem pastor; e começou a ensinar-lhes muitas coisas.

35 Como a hora fosse já adiantada, chegaram-se a ele seus discípulos, dizendo: Este lugar é deserto, e já é muito tarde;

36 despede-os, para que vão aos sítios e às aldeias circunvizinhas comprar para si alguma comida.

37 Mas Jesus disse: Dai-lhes vós de comer. Deveremos, disseram eles, ir comprar duzentos denários de pão e dar-lhes de comer?

38 Ele lhes perguntou: Quantos pães tendes? ide ver. Depois de se terem informado, responderam: Cinco pães e dois peixes.

39 Então mandou aos discípulos que a todos fizessem sentar em grupos sobre a relva verde.

40 Sentaram-se em turmas de cem e de cinqüenta.

41 Ele tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, erguendo os olhos ao céu, deu graças e, partindo os pães, entregou-os aos discípulos para eles distribuírem; e repartiu por todos os dois peixes.

42 Todos comeram e se fartaram;

43 e recolheram doze cestos cheios de pedaços de pão e de peixe.

44 Os que comeram os pães, foram cinco mil.

30 And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.

31 And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.

32 And they went away in the boat to a waste place by themselves.

33 And the people saw them going, and a number of them, having knowledge who they were, went running there together on foot from all the towns, and got there before them.

34 And he got out, and saw a great mass of people, and he had pity on them, because they were like sheep without a keeper: and he gave them teaching about a number of things.

35 And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:

36 Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.

37 But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?

38 And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.

39 And he made them all be seated in groups on the green grass.

40 And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

41 And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.

42 And they all took of the food and had enough.

43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken bits and of the fishes.

44 And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.
