耶稣使四千人吃饱(A)

那时,又有一大群人聚集,没有什么吃的。耶稣叫门徒来,说: “我怜悯这群人,因为他们同我在这里已经三天,没有吃的东西了。 我若叫他们饿着回家,他们会在路上饿昏,因为其中有从远处来的。” 门徒回答:“在这野地,从哪里能得饼使这些人吃饱呢?” 耶稣问他们:“你们有多少饼?”他们说:“七个。” 他吩咐众人坐在地上,就拿着这七个饼祝谢了,擘开,递给门徒,叫他们摆开,门徒就摆在众人面前。 他们还有几条小鱼;耶稣祝谢了,就吩咐也摆在众人面前。 他们都吃,并且吃饱了,收拾剩下的碎屑,有七筐子。 人数约有四千。耶稣打发他们走了, 10 随即同门徒上船,来到大玛努他境内。

法利赛人求神迹(B)

11 法利赛人出来盘问耶稣,要求他从天上显个神迹给他们看,想要试探他。 12 耶稣心里深深叹息,说:“这世代为什么求神迹呢?我实在告诉你们,没有神迹给这世代看。” 13 他就离开他们,又上船往海的对岸去了。

防备法利赛人和希律的酵(C)

14 门徒忘了带饼,在船上除了一个饼,没有别的食物。 15 耶稣嘱咐他们说:“你们要谨慎,要防备法利赛人的酵和希律的酵。” 16 他们彼此议论说:“这是因为我们没有饼吧。” 17 耶稣知道了,就说:“你们为什么因为没有饼就议论呢?你们还不领悟,还不明白吗?你们的心还是愚顽吗? 18 你们有眼睛,看不见吗?有耳朵,听不到吗?也不记得吗? 19 我擘开那五个饼分给五千人,你们收拾的碎屑装满了多少个篮子呢?”他们说:“十二个。” 20 “又擘开那七个饼分给四千人,你们收拾的碎屑装满了多少个筐子呢?”他们说:“七个。” 21 耶稣说:“你们还不明白吗?”

治好伯赛大的盲人

22 他们来到伯赛大,有人带一个盲人来,求耶稣摸他。 23 耶稣拉着盲人的手,领他到村外,就吐唾沫在他眼睛上,为他按手,问他:“你看见什么?” 24 他抬头一看,说:“我看见人,他们好像树木,并且行走。” 25 随后耶稣又按手在他眼睛上,他定睛一看,就复原了,样样都看得清楚了。 26 耶稣打发他回家,说:“连这村子你也不要进去。”

彼得认耶稣为基督(D)

27 耶稣和门徒出去,往凯撒利亚‧腓立比附近的村庄去。在路上,他问门徒:“人们说我是谁?” 28 他们对他说:“是施洗的约翰;有人说是以利亚;又有人说是先知中的一位。” 29 他又问他们:“你们说我是谁?”彼得回答他:“你是基督。” 30 于是耶稣切切地嘱咐他们不可对任何人说起他。

耶稣预言受难和复活(E)

31 从此,他教导他们说:“人子必须受许多的苦,被长老、祭司长和文士弃绝,并且被杀,三天后复活。” 32 耶稣明白地说了这话,彼得就拉着他,责备他。 33 耶稣转过来看着门徒,斥责彼得说:“撒但,退到我后边去!因为你不体会 神的心意,而是体会人的意思。” 34 于是他叫众人和门徒来,对他们说:“若有人要跟从我,就当舍己,背起自己的十字架来跟从我。 35 因为凡要救自己生命的,必丧失生命;凡为我和福音丧失生命的,必救自己的生命。 36 人就是赚得全世界,赔上自己的生命,有什么益处呢? 37 人还能拿什么换生命呢? 38 凡在这淫乱罪恶的世代,把我和我的道当作可耻的,人子在他父的荣耀里与圣天使一同来临的时候,也要把那人当作可耻的。”

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.”

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.”
