Original text and translations

Latin text

Misereor super turbam
quia iam triduo sustinent me
nec habent quod manducent
et si dimisero eos jejunos
deficient in via.

Et accipiens septem panes et paucos pisces
cum benedixisset jussit turbis apponi,
comederunt autem et saturati sunt,
quatuor millia hominum.
