耶穌使四千人吃飽

那時,又有一大群人聚在一起,他們沒有東西吃。耶穌就叫來門徒,說: 「我憐憫這些人,他們跟我在一起已經三天,沒有任何吃的了。 如果讓他們餓著肚子回家,他們在路上會體力不支,因為有些人是遠道而來的。」

門徒說:「在這荒野,如何找到足夠的食物給這些人吃呢?」

耶穌問:「你們有多少餅?」

門徒答道:「七個。」

耶穌便吩咐大家坐在地上,然後拿著那七個餅祝謝了,掰開,遞給門徒,讓門徒分給大家,門徒就把餅分給大家。 他們還有幾條小魚。耶穌祝謝了,叫門徒分給眾人。 大家都吃了,並且吃飽了,剩下的零碎裝滿了七個筐子。 吃的人約有四千。耶穌讓眾人回家後, 10 隨即和門徒上船,來到大瑪努他地區。

11 法利賽人出來盤問耶穌,要求祂從天上顯一個神蹟給他們看看,藉此試探祂。 12 耶穌深深歎息道:「這世代的人為什麼總是要看神蹟呢?我實在告訴你們,沒有神蹟給這世代的人看。」 13 然後,耶穌離開他們,乘船回對岸去了。

防備法利賽人和希律的酵

14 門徒忘了帶餅,船上只有一個餅。 15 耶穌警告他們:「你們要謹慎,要提防法利賽人和希律的酵!」

16 他們彼此議論說:「老師這樣說,是不是因為我們沒有帶餅呢?」

17 耶穌知道他們的心思,就說:「你們為什麼議論沒有帶餅的事呢?難道你們還不明白、不領悟嗎?你們的心還是愚頑嗎? 18 你們有眼不會看,有耳不會聽嗎?你們不記得嗎? 19 我掰開五個餅分給五千人吃的時候,你們撿了多少籃的零碎呢?」

門徒答道:「十二籃。」

20 耶穌又說:「我用七個餅餵飽四千人的時候,你們撿了多少筐零碎呢?」

門徒答道:「七筐。」

21 耶穌接著說:「你們還不明白嗎?」

治好伯賽大的瞎子

22 他們到了伯賽大,有人帶來一個瞎子,求耶穌摸他。 23 耶穌拉著瞎子的手帶他走到村外,吐唾沫在他的眼睛上,並把手按在他身上,問他:「你看見什麼了?」

24 他抬頭看了看,說:「我看見人們好像一棵棵的樹,走來走去。」

25 耶穌把手按在他的眼睛上,他定睛一看,便恢復了視力,什麼都看得清清楚楚。 26 耶穌叫他回家,並對他說:「不要再進這個村子了。」

彼得宣告耶穌是基督

27 耶穌和門徒前往凱撒利亞·腓立比境內的村莊。在路上,祂問門徒:「別人說我是誰?」

28 他們說:「有人說你是施洗者約翰,有人說你是以利亞,有人說你是眾先知中的一位。」

29 耶穌又問他們:「那麼,你們說我是誰?」

彼得回答說:「你是基督!」

30 耶穌吩咐他們不要洩露祂的身分。

耶穌預言自己的受難和復活

31 從此,耶穌便告訴他們,人子必須受許多苦,被長老、祭司長和律法教師棄絕,殺害,但必在三天之後復活。 32 耶穌清楚地把這些事告訴了他們,彼得就把祂拉到一邊,勸阻祂。 33 耶穌轉身看了看門徒,斥責彼得說:「撒旦,退到我後面去!因為你不考慮上帝的意思,只考慮人的意思。」

34 祂叫眾人和門徒一起過來,對他們說:「如果有人要跟從我,就應當捨己,背起他的十字架跟從我。 35 因為想救自己生命的,必失去生命;但為了我和福音而失去生命的,必得到生命。 36 人就是賺得全世界,卻喪失自己的生命,又有什麼益處呢? 37 他還能用什麼換回生命呢?

38 「在這淫亂、罪惡的世代,如果有人以我和我的道為恥,人子在父的榮耀中與聖天使再來的時候,也要以他為恥。」

Ginpakaon ni Jesus ang 4,000 ka Tawo(A)

Pagkatapos sang pila ka adlaw, nagtilipon naman ang madamo nga mga tawo didto kay Jesus. Sang wala na sila sang pagkaon, gintawag ni Jesus ang iya mga sumulunod kag ginsilingan, “Naluoy gid ako sa sina nga mga tawo. Tatlo na ka adlaw nga nagaupod-upod sila sa akon kag wala na sila sing kalan-on. Kon papaulion ko sila nga gutom basi malipong sila sa dalan kay malayo gid ang ginhalinan sang iban sa ila.” Nagsabat ang iya mga sumulunod, “Sa diin kita makakuha sang pagkaon diri sa kamingawan agod ipakaon sa sini nga mga tawo?” Pero nagpamangkot si Jesus sa ila, “Pila ka bilog ang inyo tinapay dira?” Nagsabat sila, “Pito.”

Dayon ginpapungko ni Jesus ang mga tawo. Ginkuha niya ang pito ka tinapay kag nagpasalamat sa Dios. Pagkatapos ginpamihak-pihak niya ini kag ginhatag sa iya mga sumulunod agod ipanagtag sa mga tawo. May pila man sila ka bilog nga magagmay nga mga isda. Ginpasalamatan man niya ini kag ginhatag sa iya mga sumulunod agod ipanagtag sa mga tawo. Nagkaon sila kag nagkalabusog. Pagkatapos gintipon nila ang tinapay nga sobra, kag nakapuno sila sang pito ka alat. Ang mga lalaki lang nga nagkalaon mga 4,000. Pagkatapos sadto, ginpapauli ni Jesus ang mga tawo 10 kag nagsakay siya sa sakayan kaupod sang iya mga sumulunod kag nagkadto sa Dalmanuta.

Ginpangayuan si Jesus sang Milagro(B)

11 Pag-abot nila didto, may mga Pariseo nga nagkadto kay Jesus kag nagpakigbais sa iya. Gusto nila nga tilawan si Jesus gani nagpangayo sila sa iya sang milagro halin sa Dios[a] bilang pamatuod nga ginpadala siya sang Dios. 12 Pero nagpanghayhay si Jesus kag nagsiling, “Ngaa bala nagapangayo sang milagro ang mga tawo sa sini nga henerasyon? Sa pagkamatuod, wala gid sang milagro nga ipakita sa ila!” 13 Dayon ginbayaan niya ato nga mga Pariseo. Nagbalik siya sa sakayan kag nagtabok liwat sa pihak sang dagat.

Ang Inugpahabok sang mga Pariseo kag ni Herodes(C)

14 Nalipatan sang iya mga sumulunod nga magdala sang tinapay luwas sa isa lang ka bilog nga nadala nila sa sakayan. 15 Ginpaandaman sila ni Jesus paagi sa paanggid, “Mag-andam gid kamo sa inugpahabok[b] sa tinapay sang mga Pariseo kag ni Haring Herodes.”[c] 16 Nagbinaisay sila nga nagasiling, “Ginhambal niya ato kay wala kita nakadala sang tinapay.” 17 Nahibaluan ni Jesus kon ano ang ginabaisan nila. Gani nagsiling siya sa ila, “Ngaa ginabaisan ninyo nga wala kamo tinapay? Indi pa gid bala kamo makaintiendi? Mabudlay bala gihapon kamo paintiendihon? 18-19 May mga mata kamo, pero indi kamo makakita. May mga dulunggan kamo, pero indi kamo makabati. Wala gid bala ninyo madumdumi ang pagpamihak-pihak ko sang lima ka tinapay para sa 5,000 ka tawo? Pila bala ka alat ang napuno sang inyo natipon nga sobra?” Nagsabat sila, “Dose!” 20 Nagpamangkot pa gid si Jesus, “Kag ang pagpamihak-pihak ko sang pito ka tinapay para sa 4,000, pila bala ka alat ang napuno sang inyo natipon nga sobra?” Nagsabat sila, “Pito!” 21 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus, “Indi pa gihapon ninyo maintiendihan ang ginhambal ko parte sa inugpahabok?”

Gin-ayo ni Jesus ang Isa ka Bulag sa Betsaida

22 Pag-abot nila sa Betsaida may mga tawo didto nga nagdala sang bulag nga lalaki kay Jesus. Nagpakitluoy sila sa iya nga tandugon niya ang bulag agod makakita. 23 Gani gin-uyatan niya ang kamot sang bulag kag gintuytuyan pakadto sa guwa sang Betsaida. Pag-abot nila sa guwa ginduplaan niya ang mga mata sang bulag. Dayon gintungtong niya ang iya mga kamot sa bulag kag nagpamangkot, “May nakita ka na bala?” 24 Nagtangla ang lalaki kag nagsiling, “Nakakita na ako sang mga tawo, pero daw sa mga kahoy nga nagalakat.” 25 Gani gintungtong liwat ni Jesus ang iya kamot sa mga mata sang bulag. Pagkatapos naghimutad sing maayo ang bulag kag nag-ayo ang iya mga mata. Maathag na ang tanan sa iya panulok. 26 Ginpapauli siya ni Jesus kag ginsilingan, “Indi ka na magbalik sa Betsaida.”[d]

Ang Ginhambal ni Pedro Parte kay Jesus(D)

27 Pagkatapos sadto, nagkadto si Jesus kag ang iya mga sumulunod sa mga baryo nga sakop sang Cesarea Filipos. Samtang nagalakat sila nagpamangkot si Jesus sa iya mga sumulunod, “Suno sa mga tawo, sin-o bala ako?” 28 Nagsabat sila, “May mga nagasiling nga ikaw si Juan nga manugbautiso. Ang iban nagasiling nga ikaw si Elias, kag ang iban pa gid nagasiling nga ikaw isa sa mga propeta.” 29 Dayon nagpamangkot siya sa ila, “Pero suno sa inyo sin-o bala ako?” Nagsabat si Pedro, “Ikaw ang Cristo!” 30 Dayon ginpaandaman sila ni Jesus nga indi gid magpanugid bisan kay sin-o parte sa iya.

Naghambal si Jesus Parte sa Iya Kamatayon kag Pagkabanhaw(E)

31 Dayon nagsiling si Jesus sa ila, “Ako nga Anak sang Tawo kinahanglan gid nga mag-antos sa pagahimuon sa akon sang mga manugdumala sang mga Judio, sang manugdumala nga mga pari, kag sang mga manunudlo sang Kasuguan. Sikwayon nila ako kag patyon, pero sa ikatlo nga adlaw mabanhaw ako.” 32 Ginpaathag gid niya ini sa ila. Pagkabati sadto ni Pedro, gindala niya si Jesus sa ulo-unhan kag ginsaway nga indi maghambal sina. 33 Pero nagliso si Jesus, nagtulok sa iya mga sumulunod, kag ginsabdong si Pedro, “Palayo ka sa akon, Satanas! Kay ang imo hunahuna indi iya sang Dios kundi iya sang tawo.”

34 Dayon gintawag niya ang mga tawo kaupod sang mga sumulunod niya nga magpalapit. Nagsiling siya sa ila, “Kon may tawo nga gusto magsunod sa akon, indi niya dapat pagpasulabihon ang iya kaugalingon. Kag dapat handa siya sa pag-atubang sa kamatayon[e] sa iya nga pagsunod sa akon. 35 Kay ang bisan sin-o nga luyag magluwas sang iya kabuhi madula niya ini. Pero ang bisan sin-o nga maghalad sang iya kabuhi tungod sa akon kag sa Maayong Balita makaangkon sang kabuhi nga wala sing katapusan. 36 Ano gid bala ang makuha sang tawo kon maangkon niya ang tanan nga butang diri sa kalibutan, pero mawala ang iya kabuhi? Wala gid! 37 Kay wala gid sang butang nga sarang niya mahatag agod mapabalik niya ang iya kabuhi. 38 Ang bisan sin-o nga nagakahuya sa akon kag sa akon mga ginatudlo sa sini nga henerasyon, nga ang mga tawo malaot kag indi diosnon, igakahuya ko man kon ako nga Anak sang Tawo magbalik na nga nagasilak sa gahom sang akon Amay, kag kaupod ko ang balaan nga mga anghel.”

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(A)(B)(C)

During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people;(D) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”

His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”

“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.

“Seven,” they replied.

He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so. They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them.(E) The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(F) About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away, 10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven.(G) 12 He sighed deeply(H) and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.” 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.

The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod

14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast(I) of the Pharisees(J) and that of Herod.”(K)

16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”

17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?(L) 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”

“Twelve,”(M) they replied.

20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”

They answered, “Seven.”(N)

21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”(O)

Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida

22 They came to Bethsaida,(P) and some people brought a blind man(Q) and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit(R) on the man’s eyes and put his hands on(S) him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”

24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”

25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into[a] the village.”

Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(T)

27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”

28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(U) others say Elijah;(V) and still others, one of the prophets.”

29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”

Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”(W)

30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.(X)

Jesus Predicts His Death(Y)

31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man(Z) must suffer many things(AA) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(AB) and that he must be killed(AC) and after three days(AD) rise again.(AE) 32 He spoke plainly(AF) about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!”(AG) he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”

The Way of the Cross

34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(AH) 35 For whoever wants to save their life[b] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.(AI) 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man(AJ) will be ashamed of them(AK) when he comes(AL) in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”

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

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

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.
