以下は、昨日の朗読箇所の一部であり、
たいへん有名なパートです。
14:17弟子たち言ふ『われらが此處にもてるは、
唯五つのパンと二つの魚とのみ』
14:18イエス言ひ給ふ『それを我に持ちきたれ』
14:19かくて群衆に命じて草の上に坐せしめ、
五つのパンと二つの魚とを取り、天を仰ぎて祝し、
パンを裂きて、弟子たちに與へ給へば、弟子たち之を群衆に與ふ。
14:20凡ての人食ひて飽く、裂きたる餘を集めしに十二の筐に滿ちたり。
14:21食ひし者は、女と子供とを除きて凡そ五千人なりき。
(マタイ傳１４章より)

19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and
looling up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.
Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them
to the people.
20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up
twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men,
besides women and children.
