BCC ¹ En ces jours-là, comme il y avait encore une nombreuse foule qui n'avait pas de quoi manger, il appela ses disciples et leur dit :

KJV ¹ In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

BCC ² " J'ai compassion de cette foule, car voilà trois jours déjà qu'ils restent près de moi, et ils n'ont rien à manger.

KJV ² I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

BCC ³ Si je les renvoie chez eux à jeun, les forces leur manqueront en chemin ; or plusieurs d'entre eux sont venus de loin."

KJV ³ And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

BCC ⁴ Ses disciples lui répondirent : "comment pourrait-on ici, dans un désert, rassasier de pain ces gens ?"

KJV ⁴ And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

BCC ⁵ Et il leur demanda : "combien de pains avez-vous ?" Ils dirent : "sept."

KJV ⁵ And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

BCC ⁶ Alors il fit asseoir la foule par terre, prit les sept pains, et, après avoir rendu grâces, il les rompit et les donna à ses disciples pour les servir ; et ils les servirent à la foule.

KJV ⁶ And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

BCC ⁷ Ils avaient (en outre) quelques petits poissons ; après avoir prononcé la bénédiction sur eux, il dit de les servir aussi.

KJV ⁷ And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

BCC ⁸ Ils mangèrent et furent rassasiés, et l'on emporta sept corbeilles des morceaux qui restaient.

KJV ⁸ So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

BCC ⁹ Or ils étaient environ quatre mille. Et il les renvoya.

KJV ⁹ And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
