1 Depois disto Jesus atravessou o mar da Galiléia, que é o de Tiberíades.

2 Uma grande multidão seguia-o, porque viram os milagres que operara nos que se achavam enfermos.

3 Jesus subiu ao monte, e ali se assentou com seus discípulos.

4 Ora a páscoa, festa dos judeus, estava próxima.

5 Jesus, então, levantando os olhos e vendo que uma grande multidão vinha ter com ele, disse a Filipe: Onde compraremos pão para lhes dar de comer?

6 (Mas dizia isto para o experimentar; porque ele sabia o que ia fazer).

7 Respondeu-lhe Filipe: Duzentos denários de pão não lhes bastam, para que cada um receba um pouco.

8 Um de seus discípulos, chamado André, irmão de Pedro, disse-lhe:

9 Está aqui um rapaz, que tem cinco pães de cevada e dois peixes, mas que é isto para tanto povo?

10 Disse Jesus: Fazei sentar o povo. Havia naquele lugar muito feno. Sentaram-se, pois, os homens em número de cerca de cinco mil.

11 Jesus, então, tomou os pães e, tendo dado graças, distribuiu-os pelos que estavam sentados; e do mesmo modo dos peixes, quanto queriam.

12 Depois de saciados, disse Jesus a seus discípulos: Recolhei os pedaços que sobejaram, para que nada se perca.

13 Assim os recolheram e encheram doze cestos de pedaços dos cinco pães de cevada, que sobejaram aos que haviam comido.

14 Quando o povo viu o milagre que Jesus fizera, dizia: Este é verdadeiramente o profeta que havia de vir ao mundo.

1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
