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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

¹⁰ And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

¹¹ And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

¹² And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

¹³ And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

¹⁴ Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

¹⁵ And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

¹⁶ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

¹⁷ And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

¹⁸ Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

¹⁹ When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

²⁰ And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

²¹ And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

²² And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

²³ And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

²⁴ And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

²⁵ After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

²⁶ And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

²⁷ And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?

²⁸ And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

²⁹ And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

³⁰ And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³² And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

³³ But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.

³⁴ And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.

³⁶ For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

³⁷ Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁸ Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

¹ In ^G1722 those ^G1565 days ^G2250 the multitude ^G3793 being ^G5607 very great, ^G3827 and ^G2532 having ^G2192 nothing ^{G3361 G5101} to eat, ^G5315 Jesus ^G2424 called ^G4341 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 unto him, and saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846

² I have compassion ^G4697 on ^G1909 the multitude, ^G3793 because ^G3754 they have ^G4357 now ^G2235 been ^G4357 with me ^G3427 three ^G5140 days, ^G2250 and ^G2532 have ^G2192 nothing ^{G3756 G5101} to eat: ^G5315

³ And ^G2532 if ^G1437 I send ^G630 them ^G846 away ^G630 fasting ^G3523 to ^G1519 their own ^G846 houses, ^G3624 they will faint ^G1590 by ^G1722 the way: ^G3598 for ^G1063 divers ^G5100 of them ^G846 came ^G2240 from far. ^G3113

⁴ And ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 answered ^G611 him, ^G846 From whence ^G4159 can ^G1410 a man ^G5100 satisfy ^G5526 these ^G5128 men with bread ^G740 here ^G5602 in ^G1909 the wilderness? ^G2047

⁵ And ^G2532 he asked ^G1905 them, ^G846 How many ^G4214 loaves ^G740 have ye? ^G2192 And ^G1161 they said, ^G2036 Seven. ^G2033

⁶ And ^G2532 he commanded ^G3853 the people ^G3793 to sit down ^G377 on ^G1909 the ground: ^G1093 and ^G2532 he took ^G2983 the seven ^G2033 loaves, ^G740 and gave thanks, ^G2168 and brake, ^G2806 and ^G2532 gave ^G1325 to his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 to ^G2443 set before ^G3908 them; and ^G2532 they did set them before ^G3908 the people. ^G3793

⁷ And ^G2532 they had ^G2192 a few ^G3641 small fishes: ^G2485 and ^G2532 he blessed, ^G2127 and commanded ^G2036 to set ^G3908 them ^G846 also ^G2532 before ^G3908 them.

⁸ So ^G1161 they did eat, ^G5315 and ^G2532 were filled: ^G5526 and ^G2532 they took up ^G142 of the broken ^G2801 meat that was left ^G4051 seven ^G2033 baskets. ^G4711

⁹ And ^G1161 they that had eaten ^G5315 were ^G2258 about ^G5613 four thousand: ^G5070 and ^G2532 he sent ^G630 them ^G846 away. ^G630

¹⁰ And ^G2532 straightway ^G2112 he entered ^G1684 into ^G1519 a ship ^G4143 with ^G3326 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 and came ^G2064 into ^G1519 the parts ^G3313 of Dalmanutha. ^G1148

¹¹ And ^G2532 the Pharisees ^G5330 came forth, ^G1831 and ^G2532 began ^G756 to question ^G4802 with him, ^G846 seeking ^G2212 of ^G3844 him ^G846 a sign ^G4592 from ^G575 heaven, ^G3772 tempting ^G3985 him. ^G846

¹² And ^G2532 he sighed deeply ^G389 in his ^G846 spirit, ^G4151 and saith, ^G3004 Why ^G5101 doth ^G1934 this ^G3778 generation ^G1074 seek after ^G1934 a sign? ^G4592 verily ^G281 I say ^G3004 unto you, ^G5213 There shall no ^G1487 sign ^G4592 be given ^G1325 unto this ^G5026 generation. ^G1074

¹³ And ^G2532 he left ^G863 them, ^G846 and entering ^G1684 into ^G1519 the ship ^G4143 again ^G3825 departed ^G565 to ^G1519 the other side. ^G4008

¹⁴ Now ^G2532 the disciples had forgotten ^G1950 to take ^G2983 bread, ^G740 neither ^{G2532 G3756} had ^G2192 they in ^G1722 the ship ^G4143 with ^G3326 them ^G1438 more than ^G1508 one ^G1520 loaf. ^G740

¹⁵ And ^G2532 he charged ^G1291 them, ^G846 saying, ^G3004 Take heed, ^G3708 beware ^G991 of ^G575 the leaven ^G2219 of the Pharisees, ^G5330 and ^G2532 of the leaven ^G2219 of Herod. ^G2264

¹⁶ And ^G2532 they reasoned ^G1260 among ^G4314 themselves, ^G240 saying, ^G3004 It is because ^G3754 we have ^G2192 no ^G3756 bread. ^G740

¹⁷ And ^G2532 when Jesus ^G2424 knew ^G1097 it, he saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Why ^G5101 reason ye, ^G1260 because ^G3754 ye have ^G2192 no ^G3756 bread? ^G740 perceive ye ^G3539 not yet, ^G3768 neither ^G3761 understand? ^G4920 have ye ^G2192 your ^G5216 heart ^G2588 yet ^G2089 hardened? ^G4456

¹⁸ Having ^G2192 eyes, ^G3788 see ye ^G991 not? ^G3756 and ^G2532 having ^G2192 ears, ^G3775 hear ye ^G191 not? ^G3756 and ^G2532 do ye ^G3421 not ^G3756 remember? ^G3421

¹⁹ When ^G3753 I brake ^G2806 the five ^G4002 loaves ^G740 among ^G1519 five thousand, ^G4000 how many ^G4214 baskets ^G2894 full ^G4134 of fragments ^G2801 took ye up? ^G142 They say ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Twelve. ^G1427

²⁰ And ^G1161 when ^G3753 the seven ^G2033 among ^G1519 four thousand, ^G5070 how many ^G4214 baskets ^G4711 full ^G4138 of fragments ^G2801 took ye up? ^G142 And ^G1161 they said, ^G2036 Seven. ^G2033

²¹ And ^G2532 he said ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 How ^G4459 is it that ye do ^G4920 not ^G3756 understand? ^G4920

²² And ^G2532 he cometh ^G2064 to ^G1519 Bethsaida; ^G966 and ^G2532 they bring ^G5342 a blind man ^G5185 unto him, ^G846 and ^G2532 besought ^G3870 him ^G846 to ^G2443 touch ^G680 him. ^G846

²³ And ^G2532 he took ^G1949 the blind man ^G5185 by the hand, ^G5495 and led ^G1806 him ^G846 out of ^G1854 the town; ^G2968 and ^G2532 when he had spit ^G4429 on ^G1519 his ^G846 eyes, ^G3659 and put ^G2007 his hands ^G5495 upon him, ^G846 he asked ^G1905 him ^G846 if ^G1536 he saw ^G991 ought. ^G1536

²⁴ And ^G2532 he looked up, ^G308 and said, ^{G3004 G3754} I see ^G991 men ^G444 as ^{G5613 G3708} trees, ^G1186 walking. ^G4043

²⁵ After ^G1534 that he put ^G2007 his hands ^G5495 again ^G3825 upon ^G1909 his ^G846 eyes, ^G3788 and ^G2532 made ^G4160 him ^G846 look up: ^G308 and ^G2532 he was restored, ^G600 and ^G2532 saw ^G1689 every man ^G537 clearly. ^G5081

²⁶ And ^G2532 he sent ^G649 him ^G846 away ^G649 to ^G1519 his ^G846 house, ^G3624 saying, ^G3004 Neither ^G3366 go ^G1525 into ^G1519 the town, ^G2968 nor ^G3366 tell ^G2036 it to any ^G5100 in ^G1722 the town. ^G2968

²⁷ And ^G2532 Jesus ^G2424 went out, ^G1831 and ^G2532 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 into ^G1519 the towns ^G2968 of Caesarea ^G2542 Philippi: ^G5376 and ^G2532 by ^G1722 the way ^G3598 he asked ^G1905 his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 saying ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 Whom ^G5101 do ^G3004 men ^G444 say ^G3004 that I ^G3165 am? ^G1511

²⁸ And ^G1161 they answered, ^G611 John ^G2491 the Baptist: ^G910 but ^G1161 some ^G243 say, Elias; ^G2243 and ^G2532 others, ^G243 One ^G1520 of the prophets. ^G4396

²⁹ And ^G2532 he ^G846 saith ^G3004 unto them, ^G846 But ^G1161 whom ^G5101 say ^G3004 ye ^G5210 that I ^G3165 am? ^G1511 And ^G1161 Peter ^G4074 answereth ^G611 and saith ^G3004 unto him, ^G846 Thou ^G4771 art ^G1488 the Christ. ^G5547

³⁰ And ^G2532 he charged ^G2008 them ^G846 that ^G2443 they should tell ^G3004 no man ^G3367 of ^G4012 him. ^G846

³¹ And ^G2532 he began ^G756 to teach ^G1321 them, ^G846 that ^G3754 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 must ^G1163 suffer ^G3958 many things, ^G4183 and ^G2532 be rejected ^G593 of ^G575 the elders, ^G4245 and ^G2532 of the chief priests, ^G749 and ^G2532 scribes, ^G1122 and ^G2532 be killed, ^G615 and ^G2532 after ^G3326 three ^G5140 days ^G2250 rise again. ^G450

³² And ^G2532 he spake ^G2980 that saying ^G3056 openly. ^G3954 And ^G2532 Peter ^G4074 took ^G4355 him, ^G846 and began ^G756 to rebuke ^G2008 him. ^G846

³³ But ^G1161 when he had turned about ^G1994 and ^G2532 looked ^G1492 on his ^G846 disciples, ^G3101 he rebuked ^G2008 Peter, ^G4074 saying, ^G3004 Get thee ^G5217 behind ^G3694 me, ^G3450 Satan: ^G4567 for ^G3754 thou savourest ^G5426 not ^G3756 the things that be of God, ^G2316 but ^G235 the things that be of men. ^G444

³⁴ And ^G2532 when he had called ^G4341 the people ^G3793 unto him with ^G4862 his ^G846 disciples ^G3101 also, he said ^G2036 unto them, ^G846 Whosoever ^G3748 will ^G2309 come ^G2064 after ^G3694 me, ^G3450 let him deny ^G533 himself, ^G1438 and ^G2532 take up ^G142 his ^G846 cross, ^G4716 and ^G2532 follow ^G190 me. ^G3427

³⁵ For ^G1063 whosoever ^{G3739 G302} will ^G2309 save ^G4982 his ^G846 life ^G5590 shall lose ^G622 it; ^G846 but ^G1161 whosoever ^{G3739 G302} shall lose ^G622 his ^G846 life ^G5590 for ^G1752 my sake ^G1700 and ^G2532 the gospel's, ^G2098 the same ^G3778 shall save ^G4982 it. ^G846

³⁶ For ^G1063 what ^G5101 shall it profit ^G5623 a man, ^G444 if ^G1437 he shall gain ^G2770 the whole ^G3650 world, ^G2889 and ^G2532 lose ^G2210 his own ^G846 soul? ^G5590

³⁷ Or ^G2228 what ^G5101 shall ^G1325 a man ^G444 give ^G1325 in exchange ^G465 for his ^G846 soul? ^G5590

³⁸ Whosoever ^{G3739 G302} therefore ^G1063 shall be ashamed ^G1870 of me ^G3165 and ^G2532 of my ^G1699 words ^G3056 in ^G1722 this ^G5026 adulterous ^G3428 and ^G2532 sinful ^G268 generation; ^G1074 of him ^G846 also ^G2532 shall ^G1870 the Son ^G5207 of man ^G444 be ashamed, ^G1870 when ^G3752 he cometh ^G2064 in ^G1722 the glory ^G1391 of his ^G846 Father ^G3962 with ^G3326 the holy ^G40 angels. ^G32

¹ In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,

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

³ and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them are come from far.

⁴ And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place?

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

⁶ And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

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

⁸ And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets.

⁹ And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

¹⁰ And straightway he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

¹¹ And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.

¹² And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

¹³ And he left them, and again entering into `the boat' departed to the other side.

¹⁴ And they forgot to take bread; and they had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.

¹⁵ And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

¹⁶ And they reasoned one with another, saying, We have no bread.

¹⁷ And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? have ye your heart hardened?

¹⁸ Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

¹⁹ When I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

²⁰ And when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up? And they say unto him, Seven.

²¹ And he said unto them, Do ye not yet understand?

²² And they come unto Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.

²³ And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught?

²⁴ And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold `them' as trees, walking.

²⁵ Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly.

²⁶ And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village.

²⁷ And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

²⁸ And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

²⁹ And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

³⁰ And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³² And he spake the saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

³³ But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.

³⁴ And he called unto him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.

³⁶ For what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷ For what should a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

---

¹ In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,

² `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;

³ and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'

⁴ And his disciples answered him, `Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?'

⁵ And he was questioning them, `How many loaves have ye?' and they said, `Seven.'

⁶ And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before `them'; and they did set before the multitude.

⁷ And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before `them';

⁸ and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces -- seven baskets;

⁹ and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

¹⁰ and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,

¹¹ and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;

¹² and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, `Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.'

¹³ And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

¹⁴ and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,

¹⁵ and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'

¹⁶ and they were reasoning with one another, saying -- `Because we have no loaves.'

¹⁷ And Jesus having known, saith to them, `Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?

¹⁸ Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

¹⁹ When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' they say to him, `Twelve.'

²⁰ `And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, `Seven.'

²¹ And he said to them, `How do ye not understand?'

²² And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,

²³ and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put `his' hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:

²⁴ and he, having looked up, said, `I behold men, as I see trees, walking.'

²⁵ Afterwards again he put `his' hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,

²⁶ and he sent him away to his house, saying, `Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell `it' to any in the village.'

²⁷ And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Cesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, `Who do men say me to be?'

²⁸ And they answered, `John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.'

²⁹ And he saith to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, `Thou art the Christ.'

³⁰ And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,

³¹ and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;

³² and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,

³³ and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, `Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

³⁴ And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me -- let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;

³⁵ for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;

³⁶ for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷ Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

³⁸ for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'

---

¹ In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to [him], he says to them,

² I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,

³ and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far.

⁴ And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to satisfy these with bread here in a desert place?

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

⁶ And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, that they might set [them] before [them]; and they set [them] before the crowd.

⁷ And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed them, he desired these also to be set before [them].

⁸ And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.

⁹ And they [that had eaten] were about four thousand; and he sent them away.

¹⁰ And immediately going on board ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

¹¹ And the Pharisees went out and began to dispute against him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

¹² And groaning in his spirit, he says, Why does this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, A sign shall in no wise be given to this generation.

¹³ And he left them, and going again on board ship, went away to the other side.

¹⁴ And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not [any] with them in the ship.

¹⁵ And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and [of] the leaven of Herod.

¹⁶ And they reasoned with one another, [saying], It is because we have no bread.

¹⁷ And Jesus knowing [it], says to them, Why reason ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your heart [yet] hardened?

¹⁸ Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

¹⁹ When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.

²⁰ And when the seven for the four thousand, the filling of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

²¹ And he said to them, How do ye not yet understand?

²² And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and beseech him that he might touch him.

²³ And taking hold of the hand of the blind man he led him forth out of the village, and having spit upon his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he beheld anything.

²⁴ And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see [them], as trees, walking.

²⁵ Then he laid his hands again upon his eyes, and he saw distinctly, and was restored and saw all things clearly.

²⁶ And he sent him to his house, saying, Neither enter into the village, nor tell [it] to any one in the village.

²⁷ And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

²⁸ And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.

²⁹ And he asked them, But *ye*, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, *Thou* art the Christ.

³⁰ And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about him.

³¹ And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and of the chief priests and of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise [again].

³² And he spoke the thing openly. And Peter, taking him to [him], began to rebuke him.

³³ But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

³⁴ And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

³⁵ For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.

³⁶ For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?

³⁷ for what should a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him shall the Son of man also be ashamed when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

¹ In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself, and said to them,

² "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.

³ If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way."

⁴ His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"

⁵ He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."

⁶ He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.

⁷ They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.

⁸ They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

⁹ Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.

¹⁰ Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.

¹¹ The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him.

¹² He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation{The word translated "generation" here (genea) could also be translated "people," "race," or "family."} seek a sign? Most assuredly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."

¹³ He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.

¹⁴ They forgot to take bread; and they didn't have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

¹⁵ He charged them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."

¹⁶ They reasoned with one another, saying, "It's because we have no bread."

¹⁷ Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Don't you perceive yet, neither understand? Is your heart still hardened?

¹⁸ Having eyes, don't you see? Having ears, don't you hear? Don't you remember?

¹⁹ When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Twelve."

²⁰ "When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Seven."

²¹ He asked them, "Don't you understand, yet?"

²² He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him.

²³ He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴ He looked up, and said, "I see men; for I see them like trees walking."

²⁵ Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.

²⁶ He sent him away to his house, saying, "Don't enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village."

²⁷ Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

²⁸ They told him, "John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others: one of the prophets."

²⁹ He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ."

³⁰ He charged them that they should tell no one about him.

³¹ He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³² He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

³³ But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."

³⁴ He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the Gospel's will save it.

³⁶ For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

³⁷ For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

¹ In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

² I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;

³ If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.

⁴ And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?

⁵ And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.

⁶ And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.

⁷ And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.

⁸ And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.

⁹ And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away.

¹⁰ And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.

¹¹ And the Pharisees came out and put questions to him, requesting from him a sign from heaven, testing him.

¹² And he was very sad in spirit, and said, Why is this generation looking for a sign? truly, I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.

¹³ And he went away from them, and again got into the boat and went across to the other side.

¹⁴ And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.

¹⁵ And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

¹⁶ And they said to one another, We have no bread.

¹⁷ And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?

¹⁸ Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory?

¹⁹ When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.

²⁰ And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.

²¹ And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you?

²² And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.

²³ And he took the blind man by the hand, and went with him out of the town; and when he had put water from his mouth on his eyes, and put his hands on him, he said, Do you see anything?

²⁴ And looking up, he said, I see men; I see them like trees, walking.

²⁵ Then again he put his hands on his eyes; and looking hard, he was able to see, and saw all things clearly.

²⁶ And he sent him away to his house, saying, Do not even go into the town.

²⁷ And Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the little towns round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he put a question to his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am?

²⁸ And they made answer, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

²⁹ And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.

³⁰ And he put them under orders not to say this of him to anyone.

³¹ And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

³² And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting.

³³ But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

³⁴ And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.

³⁵ Whoever has a desire to keep his life, will have it taken from him; and whoever gives up his life because of me and the good news, will keep it.

³⁶ What profit has a man if he gets all the world with the loss of his life?

³⁷ And what would a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸ Whoever has a feeling of shame because of me and my words in this false and evil generation, the Son of man will have a feeling of shame because of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
