12 E o dia já começava a declinar. Então os doze se aproximaram dele, e lhe disseram: “Despede a multidão, para irem aos lugares e aldeias ao redor, se agasalhem, e achem o que comer; porque aqui estamos em lugar deserto”.

13 Mas ele lhes disse: “Dai-lhes vós de comer”. E eles disseram: “Não temos mais que cinco pães e dois peixes; a não ser se formos nós mesmos comprar de comer para todo este povo”.

14 Porque havia ali quase cinco mil homens. Então disse aos seus discípulos: “Fazei-os se sentarem em grupos de cinquenta em cinquenta”.

15 E assim procederam, fazendo todos se sentarem.

16 Então ele tomou os cinco pães e os dois peixes e, olhando para o céu, abençoou-os e partiu-os, e os deu a seus discípulos, para [os] porem diante da multidão.
