1In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called to him his disciples, and says to them, 2I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: 3and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from far away. 4And his disciples answered him, From where shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place? 5And he asked them, How many loaves have you? And they said, Seven. 6And he commands the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. 7And they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them. 8And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets. 9And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away. 10And immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 11And the Pharisees came out, and began to question with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, testing him. 12And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and says, Why does this generation seek a sign? truly I say to you, No sign shall be given to this generation. 13And he left them, and again entering into the boat departed to the other side. 14And they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them. 15And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod. 16And they reasoned one with another, saying, We have no bread. 17And Yeshua perceiving it says to them, Why do you reason, because you have no bread? do you not yet perceive, nor understand? do you have your heart hardened? 18Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, do you not hear? and do you not remember? 19When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They say to him, Twelve. 20And when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you take up? And they say to him, Seven. 21And he said to them, Do you not yet understand? 22And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beg him to touch him. 23And 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, Do you see anything? 24And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold them as trees, walking. 25Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked steadfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly. 26And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village. 27And Yeshua went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Cæsarea Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am? 28And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets. 29And he asked them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answers and says to him, You are the Messiah. 30And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. 31And 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. 32And he spoke the saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 33But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and says, Get behind me, Satan; for you do not mind the things of God, but the things of men. 34And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35For whoever would save his life shall lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s shall save it. 36For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? 37For what should a man give in exchange for his life? 38For whoever is 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 comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
