耶稣使四千人吃饱

那时,又有一大群人聚在一起,他们没有东西吃。耶稣就叫来门徒,说: “我怜悯这些人,他们跟我在一起已经三天,没有任何吃的了。 如果让他们饿着肚子回家,他们在路上会体力不支,因为有些人是远道而来的。”

门徒说:“在这荒野,如何找到足够的食物给这些人吃呢?”

耶稣问:“你们有多少饼?”

门徒答道:“七个。”

耶稣便吩咐大家坐在地上,然后拿着那七个饼祝谢了,掰开,递给门徒,让门徒分给大家,门徒就把饼分给大家。 他们还有几条小鱼。耶稣祝谢了,叫门徒分给众人。 大家都吃了,并且吃饱了,剩下的零碎装满了七个筐子。 吃的人约有四千。耶稣让众人回家后, 10 随即和门徒上船,来到大玛努他地区。

11 法利赛人出来盘问耶稣,要求祂从天上显一个神迹给他们看看,借此试探祂。 12 耶稣深深叹息道:“这世代的人为什么总是要看神迹呢?我实在告诉你们,没有神迹给这世代的人看。” 13 然后,耶稣离开他们,乘船回对岸去了。

防备法利赛人和希律的酵

14 门徒忘了带饼,船上只有一个饼。 15 耶稣警告他们:“你们要谨慎,要提防法利赛人和希律的酵!”

16 他们彼此议论说:“老师这样说,是不是因为我们没有带饼呢?”

17 耶稣知道他们的心思,就说:“你们为什么议论没有带饼的事呢?难道你们还不明白、不领悟吗?你们的心还是愚顽吗? 18 你们有眼不会看,有耳不会听吗?你们不记得吗? 19 我掰开五个饼分给五千人吃的时候,你们捡了多少篮的零碎呢?”

门徒答道:“十二篮。”

20 耶稣又说:“我用七个饼喂饱四千人的时候,你们捡了多少筐零碎呢?”

门徒答道:“七筐。”

21 耶稣接着说:“你们还不明白吗?”

治好伯赛大的瞎子

22 他们到了伯赛大,有人带来一个瞎子,求耶稣摸他。 23 耶稣拉着瞎子的手带他走到村外,吐唾沫在他的眼睛上,并把手按在他身上,问他:“你看见什么了?”

24 他抬头看了看,说:“我看见人们好像一棵棵的树,走来走去。”

25 耶稣把手按在他的眼睛上,他定睛一看,便恢复了视力,什么都看得清清楚楚。 26 耶稣叫他回家,并对他说:“不要再进这个村子了。”

彼得宣告耶稣是基督

27 耶稣和门徒前往凯撒利亚·腓立比境内的村庄。在路上,祂问门徒:“别人说我是谁?”

28 他们说:“有人说你是施洗者约翰,有人说你是以利亚,有人说你是众先知中的一位。”

29 耶稣又问他们:“那么,你们说我是谁?”

彼得回答说:“你是基督!”

30 耶稣吩咐他们不要泄露祂的身份。

耶稣预言自己的受难和复活

31 从此,耶稣便告诉他们,人子必须受许多苦,被长老、祭司长和律法教师弃绝,杀害,但必在三天之后复活。 32 耶稣清楚地把这些事告诉了他们,彼得就把祂拉到一边,劝阻祂。 33 耶稣转身看了看门徒,斥责彼得说:“撒旦,退到我后面去!因为你不考虑上帝的意思,只考虑人的意思。”

34 祂叫众人和门徒一起过来,对他们说:“如果有人要跟从我,就应当舍己,背起他的十字架跟从我。 35 因为想救自己生命的,必失去生命;但为了我和福音而失去生命的,必得到生命。 36 人就是赚得全世界,却丧失自己的生命,又有什么益处呢? 37 他还能用什么换回生命呢?

38 “在这淫乱、罪恶的世代,如果有人以我和我的道为耻,人子在父的荣耀中与圣天使再来的时候,也要以他为耻。”

Alimentación de los cuatro mil

En aquellos días, cuando de nuevo había una gran multitud que no tenía qué comer, (A)Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo*: Tengo compasión de la multitud porque hace ya tres días que están conmigo y no tienen qué comer(B); y si los despido sin comer a sus casas, desfallecerán en el camino, pues algunos de ellos han venido de lejos. Sus discípulos le respondieron: ¿Dónde podrá alguien encontrar lo suficiente para saciar de pan[a] a estos aquí en el desierto? Y Él les preguntó[b]: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos respondieron: Siete. Entonces mandó* a la multitud que se recostara en el suelo; y tomando los siete panes, después de dar gracias, los partió y los iba dando a sus discípulos para que los pusieran delante de la gente; y ellos los sirvieron a[c] la multitud. También tenían unos pocos pececillos; y después de bendecirlos(C), mandó que estos también los sirvieran[d]. Todos comieron y se saciaron; y recogieron de lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete canastas(D). Los que comieron eran unos cuatro mil; y los despidió. 10 Y subiendo enseguida a la barca con sus discípulos, fue a la región de Dalmanuta(E).

Los fariseos buscan señal

11 (F)Entonces salieron los fariseos y comenzaron a discutir con Él, buscando de Él una señal[e] del cielo(G) para ponerle[f] a prueba. 12 Suspirando profundamente(H) en su espíritu[g], dijo*: ¿Por qué pide señal[h](I) esta generación? En verdad os digo que no se le dará señal[i] a esta generación. 13 Y dejándolos, se embarcó otra vez y se fue al otro lado.

La levadura de los fariseos

14 Y se habían olvidado de tomar panes; y no tenían consigo en la barca sino solo un pan. 15 Y Él les encargaba[j] diciendo: ¡Tened cuidado! Guardaos de la levadura de los fariseos(J) y de la levadura de Herodes(K). 16 Y ellos discutían entre sí que no tenían panes. 17 Dándose cuenta Jesús, les dijo*: ¿Por qué discutís que no tenéis pan? ¿Aún no comprendéis ni entendéis? ¿Tenéis el corazón endurecido[k](L)? 18 Teniendo ojos, ¿no veis? Y teniendo oídos, ¿no oís(M)? ¿No recordáis 19 cuando partí los cinco panes entre los cinco mil(N)? ¿Cuántas cestas llenas de pedazos recogisteis? Y ellos le dijeron*: Doce(O). 20 Y cuando partí los siete panes entre los cuatro mil(P), ¿cuántas canastas llenas de los pedazos recogisteis? Y ellos le dijeron*: Siete(Q). 21 Y les dijo[l]: ¿Aún no entendéis(R)?

El ciego de Betsaida

22 Llegaron* a Betsaida(S), y le trajeron* un ciego y le rogaron* que lo tocara(T). 23 Tomando de la mano al ciego, lo sacó fuera de la aldea; y después de escupir(U) en sus ojos y de poner las manos sobre él(V), le preguntó: ¿Ves algo? 24 Y levantando[m] la vista, dijo: Veo a los hombres, pero los veo[n] como árboles que caminan. 25 Entonces Jesús puso otra vez las manos sobre sus ojos, y él miró fijamente y fue restaurado; y lo veía todo con claridad. 26 Y lo envió a su casa diciendo: Ni aun en la aldea entres(W).

La confesión de Pedro

27 (X)Salió Jesús con sus discípulos a las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo(Y); y en el camino preguntó a sus discípulos, diciéndoles: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que soy yo? 28 Y le respondieron, diciendo: Unos, Juan el Bautista; y otros, Elías; pero otros, uno de los profetas(Z). 29 Él les preguntó de nuevo: Pero vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo? Respondiendo Pedro, le dijo*: Tú eres el Cristo[o](AA). 30 Y Él les advirtió severamente que no hablaran de Él a nadie(AB).

Jesús anuncia su muerte y resurrección

31 (AC)Y comenzó a enseñarles que el Hijo del Hombre debía padecer muchas cosas, y ser rechazado por los ancianos, los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y ser muerto, y después de tres días resucitar(AD). 32 Y les decía estas palabras claramente(AE). Y Pedro le llevó aparte y comenzó a reprenderle. 33 Mas Él volviéndose y mirando a sus discípulos, reprendió a Pedro y le dijo*: ¡Quítate de delante de mí[p], Satanás(AF)!, porque no tienes en mente las cosas de Dios, sino las de los hombres.

Condiciones para seguir a Jesús

34 Y llamando a la multitud y a sus discípulos, les dijo: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz, y sígame(AG). 35 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida[q], la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida[r] por causa de mí y del evangelio, la salvará(AH). 36 Pues, ¿de qué le sirve a un hombre ganar el mundo entero y perder su alma? 37 Pues ¿qué dará un hombre a cambio de su alma? 38 Porque cualquiera que se avergüence de mí y de mis palabras en esta generación adúltera y pecadora, el Hijo del Hombre(AI) también se avergonzará(AJ) de él, cuando venga en la gloria de su Padre con los santos ángeles(AK).

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.

Feeding the Four Thousand(A)

In those days, (B)the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them, “I have (C)compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.”

Then His disciples answered Him, “How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?”

(D)He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”

And they said, “Seven.”

So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. They also had a few small fish; and (E)having blessed them, He said to set them also before them. So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments. Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away, 10 (F)immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.

The Pharisees Seek a Sign(G)

11 (H)Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. 12 But He (I)sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, (J)no sign shall be given to this generation.”

Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod(K)

13 And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side. 14 (L)Now [a]the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat. 15 (M)Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the [b]leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

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

17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? (N)Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart [c]still hardened? 18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 (O)When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?”

They said to Him, “Twelve.”

20 “Also, (P)when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?”

And they said, “Seven.”

21 So He said to them, “How is it (Q)you do not understand?”

A Blind Man Healed at Bethsaida

22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a (R)blind man to Him, and begged Him to (S)touch him. 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when (T)He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”

25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, [d]“Neither go into the town, (U)nor tell anyone in the town.”

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ(V)

27 (W)Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?”

28 So they answered, (X)“John the Baptist; but some say, (Y)Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”

29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Peter answered and said to Him, (Z)“You are the Christ.”

30 (AA)Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him.

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(AB)

31 And (AC)He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be (AD)rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be (AE)killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He (AF)rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not [e]mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(AG)

34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, (AH)“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For (AI)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 (AJ)For whoever (AK)is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
