10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. 12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. 13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people. 14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company. 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

The Feeding of the Five Thousand(A)

10 When the apostles returned, they told Jesus all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. 11 But when the crowds knew it, they followed Him. And He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.

12 When the day began to end, the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the crowds away, so they can go into the towns and surrounding countryside and lodge and get food. For we are in a deserted place here.”

13 He said to them, “You give them something to eat.”

They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.” 14 There were about five thousand men.

But He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” 15 They did so, and made them all sit down. 16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 They all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of broken pieces that remained were collected.

Alimentación de los cinco mil

(Mt. 14.13-21; Mr. 6.30-44; Jn. 6.1-14)

10 Vueltos los apóstoles, le contaron todo lo que habían hecho. Y tomándolos, se retiró aparte, a un lugar desierto de la ciudad llamada Betsaida. 11 Y cuando la gente lo supo, le siguió; y él les recibió, y les hablaba del reino de Dios, y sanaba a los que necesitaban ser curados. 12 Pero el día comenzaba a declinar; y acercándose los doce, le dijeron: Despide a la gente, para que vayan a las aldeas y campos de alrededor, y se alojen y encuentren alimentos; porque aquí estamos en lugar desierto. 13 Él les dijo: Dadles vosotros de comer. Y dijeron ellos: No tenemos más que cinco panes y dos pescados, a no ser que vayamos nosotros a comprar alimentos para toda esta multitud. 14 Y eran como cinco mil hombres. Entonces dijo a sus discípulos: Hacedlos sentar en grupos, de cincuenta en cincuenta. 15 Así lo hicieron, haciéndolos sentar a todos. 16 Y tomando los cinco panes y los dos pescados, levantando los ojos al cielo, los bendijo, y los partió, y dio a sus discípulos para que los pusiesen delante de la gente. 17 Y comieron todos, y se saciaron; y recogieron lo que les sobró, doce cestas de pedazos.
