* In those days , there was again a great multitude . And [since ] they had nothing to eat , he called the disciples , [and ] says to them , * I have compassion on the multitude , because they continue with me now three days , and have nothing to eat : * and if I send them away fasting to their home , they will faint on the way ; and some of them have come from afar . * And his disciples answered him , From where will one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place ? * And he asked them , How many loaves do you (note :){+}(:note ) have ? And they said , Seven . * And 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 . * And they had a few small fish : and having blessed them , he commanded to set these also before them . * And they ate , and were filled : and they took up , of broken pieces that remained over , seven baskets . * And they were about four thousand : and he sent them away . * And right away he entered into the boat with his disciples , and came into the parts of Dalmanutha . * And the Pharisees came forth , and began to question with him , seeking of him a sign from heaven , trying him . * And he sighed deeply in his spirit , and says , Why does this generation seek a sign ? Truly I say to you (note :){+}(:note ), There will no sign be given to this generation . * And he left them , and again entering into [the boat ] departed to the other side . * And they forgot to take bread ; and they did not have in the boat with them more than one loaf . * And he charged them , saying , Take heed , beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod . * And they discussed one with another that they have no bread . * And Jesus perceiving it says to them , Why discuss that you (note :){+}(:note ) have no bread ? Do you {+} not yet perceive , neither understand ? Do you {+} have your {+} heart hardened ? * Having eyes , don 't you (note :){+}(:note ) see ? And having ears , don 't you {+} hear ? And don 't you {+} remember ? * When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand , how many baskets full of broken pieces did you (note :){+}(:note ) take up ? They say to him , Twelve . * When [I broke ] the seven among the four thousand , how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you (note :){+}(:note ) take up ? And they say to him , Seven . * And he said to them , Do you (note :){+}(:note ) not yet understand ? * And they come to Bethsaida . And they bring to him a blind man , and urge him to touch him . * 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 on him , he asked him , Do you see anything ? * And he looked up , and said , I see men ; for I see [them ] as trees , walking . * Then again he laid his hands on his eyes ; and he looked steadfastly , and was restored , and saw all things clearly . * And he sent him away to his home , saying , Do not even enter into the village . * And Jesus went forth , and his disciples , into the villages of Caesarea Philippi : and on the way he asked his disciples , saying to them , Who do men say that I am ? * And they told him , saying , John the Baptist ; and others , Elijah ; but others , One of the prophets . * And he asked them , But who do you (note :){+}(:note ) say that I am ? Peter answers and says to him , You are the Christ . * And he charged them that they should tell no man of him . * 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 . * And he spoke the saying openly . And Peter took him , and began to rebuke him . * But 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 . * And he called to him the multitude with his disciples , and said to them , If any man wants to follow after me , let him deny himself , and take up his cross , and follow me . * For whoever wants to save his life will lose it ; and whoever will lose his life for the sake of me and the good news will save it . * For what does it profit a man , to gain the whole world , and forfeit his life ? * For what should a man give in exchange for his life ? * 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 .
