30 The apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done, and whatever they had taught. 31 He said to them, "Come away into a deserted place, and rest awhile." For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 They went away in the boat to a deserted place by themselves. 33 They saw them going, and many recognized him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to him. 34 Jesus came out, saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things. 35 When it was late in the day, his disciples came to him and said, "This place is deserted, and it is late in the day. 36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat."

37 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat."

They asked him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?"

38 He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go see."

When they knew, they said, "Five, and two fish."

39 He commanded them that everyone should sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in ranks, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke the loaves, and he gave to his disciples to set before them, and he divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were filled. 43 They took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and also of the fish. 44 Those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

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.
