3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?”6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.”8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?”10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.”13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!”
Luke 9
12 Ziua era pe sfârşite, iar cei doisprezece au venit să-i spună: „Lasă mulţimea să meargă prin satele şi cătunele din jur să se adăpostească şi să-şi găsească de mâncare, fiindcă aici suntem în loc pustiu.”13 Iisus însă le-a zis: „Daţi-le voi să mănânce!” Ei i-au spus: „Nu avem mai mult de cinci pâini şi doi peşti; doar să mergem noi să cumpărăm de mâncare pentru tot poporul acesta.”14 Pentru că erau cam cinci mii de bărbaţi. Dar El le-a spus ucenicilor săi: „Puneţi-i să se aşeze în grupuri de câte cincizeci.”15 Au făcut aşa şi s-au aşezat toţi.16 Şi Iisus a luat cele cinci pâini şi cei doi peşti şi, ridicându-şi privirea spre cer, le-a binecuvântat, le-a frânt şi le-a dat ucenicilor să le pună înaintea mulţimii.17 Au mâncat toţi şi s-au săturat şi s-a strâns ce mai rămăsese: douăsprezece coşuri.
Mark 6
33 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.34 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.35 And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late.36 Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”37 But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”38 And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”39 Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass.40 So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all.42 And they all ate and were satisfied.43 And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
Matthew 14
14 Când a ieşit din corabie, Iisus a văzut o mulţime mare, i s-a făcut milă de ea şi i-a vindecat pe cei bolnavi.15 Când s-a înserat, ucenicii s-au apropiat de El şi i-au zis: „Locul acesta este pustiu şi vremea iată că a trecut. Dă drumul mulţimilor să se ducă prin sate să-şi cumpere de mâncare.”16 „N-au nevoie să plece”, le-a răspuns Iisus, „daţi-le voi să mănânce.”17 Dar ei i-au zis: „N-avem aici decât cinci pâini şi doi peşti.”18 Şi El le-a spus: „Aduceţi-i aici la mine.”19 Apoi a poruncit mulţimilor să şadă pe iarbă, a luat cele cinci pâini şi cei doi peşti, şi-a ridicat ochii spre cer, a binecuvântat, a frânt pâinile şi le-a dat ucenicilor, iar ei le-au împărţit mulţimilor.20 Toţi au mâncat şi s-au săturat şi s-au ridicat douăsprezece coşuri pline cu fărâmiturile rămase.21 Cei ce mâncaseră erau ca la cinci mii de bărbaţi, în afară de femei şi de copii.
