30 Os apóstolos voltaram para junto de Jesus e contaram-lhe tudo o que haviam feito e ensinado.

31 Ele disse-lhes: Vinde à parte, para algum lugar deserto, e descansai um pouco. Porque eram muitos os que iam e vinham e nem tinham tempo para comer.

32 Partiram na barca para um lugar solitário, à parte.

33 Mas viram-nos partir. Por isso, muitos deles perceberam para onde iam, e de todas as cidades acorreram a pé para o lugar aonde se dirigiam, e chegaram primeiro que eles.

34 Ao desembarcar, Jesus viu uma grande multidão e compadeceu-se dela, porque era como ovelhas que não têm pastor. E começou a ensinar-lhes muitas coisas.

35 A hora já estava bem avançada quando se achegaram a ele os seus discípulos e disseram: Este lugar é deserto, e já é tarde.

36 Despede-os, para irem aos sítios e aldeias vizinhas a comprar algum alimento.

37 Mas ele respondeu-lhes: Dai-lhes vós mesmos de comer. Replicaram-lhe: Iremos comprar duzentos denários de pão para dar-lhes de comer?

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

39 Ordenou-lhes que mandassem todos sentar-se, em grupos, na relva verde.

40 E assentaram-se em grupos de cem e de cinqüenta.

41 Então tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, erguendo os olhos ao céu, abençoou-os, partiu-os e os deu a seus discípulos, para que lhos distribuíssem, e repartiu entre todos os dois peixes.

42 Todos comeram e ficaram fartos.

43 Recolheram do que sobrou doze cestos cheios de pedaços, e os restos dos peixes.

44 Foram cinco mil os homens que haviam comido daqueles pães.

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.
