Matthew 14:21
Douay-Rheims
And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.
Jerome
There partook five thousand who had reached maturity; for women and children, the weaker sex, and the tender age, were unworthy of number; thus in the book of Numbers, slaves, women, children, and an undistinguished crowd, are passed over unnumbered.
