Ang Pagpapakain sa Apat na Libo(A)

Pagkaraan ng ilang araw, muling nagtipon ang napakaraming tao. Wala silang makain, kaya tinawag ni Jesus ang kanyang mga alagad at sinabi sa kanila, “Nahahabag ako sa maraming taong ito sapagkat tatlong araw ko na silang kasama at walang makain. Kung pauuwiin ko silang nagugutom, mahihilo sila sa daan lalo na't ang iba sa kanila'y nanggaling pa sa malayo.” Sumagot ang kanyang mga alagad, “Saan po dito sa ilang makakukuha ng sapat na pagkain para sa mga taong ito?” “Ilan ba ang tinapay ninyo riyan?” tanong ni Jesus. “Pito,” sagot nila. Pinaupo ni Jesus sa lupa ang mga tao. Kinuha niya ang pitong tinapay at pagkatapos magpasalamat ay hinati-hati niya ang mga ito at ibinigay sa kanyang mga alagad upang ipamahagi, at ipinamahagi nga nila ito sa mga tao. Mayroon din silang ilang maliliit na isda. Nang mabasbasan ang mga ito, iniutos niya sa mga alagad na ipamahagi rin ito sa mga tao. Kumain sila at nabusog at pagkatapos ay tinipon nila ang lumabis na pagkain na pitong kaing. May apat na libong lalaki ang naroon. Pinauwi sila ni Jesus, 10 pagkatapos ay agad siyang sumakay sa bangka kasama ang kanyang mga alagad at pumunta sa lupain ng Dalmanuta. 11 Dumating doon (B) ang mga Fariseo at nakipagtalo kay Jesus. Hinihingan nila si Jesus ng himala mula sa langit upang subukin siya. 12 Napabuntong-hininga (C) nang malalim si Jesus at sinabi, “Bakit humahanap ng himala ang salinlahing ito? Katotohanan ang sinasabi ko sa inyo, walang himalang ipapakita sa salinlahing ito.” 13 Sila'y iniwan niya, at muling sumakay sa bangka at tumawid sa ibayo.

Ang Pampaalsang Gamit ng mga Fariseo at ni Herodes(D)

14 Nakalimutan ng mga alagad[a] na magdala ng tinapay, maliban sa isang tinapay na dala nila sa bangka. 15 Binalaan (E) sila ni Jesus, “Mag-ingat kayo at iwasan ninyo ang pampaalsang gamit ng mga Fariseo at ni Herodes.” 16 Nag-usap-usap ang mga alagad, “Wala kasi tayong dalang tinapay.” 17 Dahil alam ni Jesus ang kanilang pag-uusap, tinanong niya sila, “Bakit ninyo pinag-uusapang wala kayong tinapay? Hindi pa ba ninyo nauunawaan? Manhid ba kayo? 18 Mayroon (F) kayong mga mata, bakit hindi kayo makakita? Mayroon kayong mga tainga, bakit hindi kayo makarinig? Hindi ba ninyo natatandaan 19 nang hati-hatiin ko ang limang tinapay para sa limang libo, ilang kaing ng mga lumabis ang inyong pinulot?” “Labindalawa,” sagot nila. 20 “Nang pagputul-putulin ko ang pitong tinapay para sa apat na libo, ilang kaing ng mga lumabis ang pinulot ninyo?” Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Pito.” 21 “Hindi pa ba ninyo nauunawaan?” tanong ni Jesus.

Pinagaling ni Jesus ang Isang Bulag

22 Pumasok sila sa Bethsaida at dinala sa kanya ang isang lalaking bulag at ipinakiusap na kanyang hipuin. 23 Hinawakan ni Jesus sa kamay ang bulag at inakay palabas ng nayon. Niluraan niya ang mga mata nito, ipinatong ang kanyang mga kamay at tinanong, “Mayroon ka bang nakikita?” 24 Tumingala ang lalaki at nagsabi, “Nakakakita po ako ng mga tao, parang mga punongkahoy na naglalakad.” 25 Muling ipinatong ni Jesus ang kanyang kamay sa mga mata ng lalaki. Iminulat ng lalaki ang kanyang mga mata. Nanumbalik ang kanyang paningin at nakakita na siya nang malinaw. 26 Pinauwi siya ni Jesus at pinagbilinan, “Huwag ka nang pumasok sa nayon.”

Ang Pagpapahayag ni Pedro tungkol kay Jesus(G)

27 Nagtungo si Jesus at ang kanyang mga alagad sa mga nayon ng Cesarea sa Filipos. Habang sila'y nasa daan ay tinanong niya ang kanyang mga alagad, “Ano ang sinasabi ng mga tao kung sino ako?” 28 Sumagot (H) sila, “Sabi ng iba ay si Juan na Tagapagbautismo; sabi naman ng iba'y si Elias, at ng iba'y isa sa mga propeta.” 29 “At kayo, ano ang sinasabi ninyo kung sino ako?” (I) tanong niya sa kanila. Sumagot si Pedro, “Ikaw ang Cristo.”[b] 30 Mahigpit na ipinagbilin ni Jesus sa kanila na huwag sasabihin kaninuman ang tungkol sa kanya.

Unang Pagpapahayag ni Jesus tungkol sa Kanyang Kamatayan(J)

31 Mula noo'y sinimulan niyang ituro sa mga alagad na ang Anak ng Tao ay dapat dumanas ng maraming hirap, at itakwil ng matatandang pinuno, ng mga punong pari, at ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan. Siya'y papatayin ngunit pagkaraan ng tatlong araw ay muling mabubuhay. 32 Maliwanag niyang sinabi ang mga ito sa kanila, kaya dinala siya ni Pedro sa isang tabi at sinimulang pagsabihan. 33 Ngunit lumingon si Jesus, tumingin sa mga alagad at pinagsabihan si Pedro, “Lumayas ka sa harapan ko, Satanas! Ang iniisip mo'y hindi galing sa Diyos kundi galing sa tao!” 34 Tinawag (K) ni Jesus ang maraming tao at ang kanyang mga alagad, at sinabi sa kanila, “Sinumang nais sumunod sa akin, tanggihan niya ang kanyang sarili, pasanin ang kanyang krus at sumunod sa akin. 35 Sapagkat (L) sinumang nagnanais magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito, at ang sinumang mawalan ng kanyang buhay dahil sa akin at sa ebanghelyo ay magkakamit nito. 36 Sapagkat ano ang pakinabang ng tao makamtan man niya ang buong sanlibutan kung mapapahamak naman ang kanyang buhay? 37 Ano ang maibibigay ng tao kapalit ng kanyang buhay? 38 Sinumang ikahiya ako at ang aking salita sa mapakiapid at makasalanang salinlahing ito, ay ikahihiya rin ng Anak ng Tao pagdating niya na taglay ang kaluwalhatian ng kanyang Ama, kasama ang mga banal na anghel.”

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand

(A)In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, (B)“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.” And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?” And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, (C)“Seven.” And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and (D)having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd. And they had a few small fish. And (E)having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them. And (F)they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, (G)seven baskets full. And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away. 10 And immediately he got into (H)the boat with his disciples and went to the district of (I)Dalmanutha.[a]

The Pharisees Demand a Sign

11 (J)The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, (K)seeking from him (L)a sign from heaven (M)to test him. 12 And (N)he sighed deeply (O)in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And (P)he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod

14 Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; (Q)beware of (R)the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of (S)Herod.”[b] 16 And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. 17 And (T)Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? (U)Do you not yet perceive (V)or understand? (W)Are your hearts hardened? 18 (X)Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke (Y)the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And (Z)the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21 And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida

22 And they came (AA)to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. 23 And (AB)he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when (AC)he had (AD)spit on his eyes and (AE)laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” 25 Then Jesus[c] laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 And he sent him to his home, saying, (AF)“Do not even enter the village.”

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

27 (AG)And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 And they told him, (AH)“John the Baptist; and others say, (AI)Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, (AJ)“You are (AK)the Christ.” 30 (AL)And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

31 (AM)And he began to teach them that (AN)the Son of Man must (AO)suffer many things and (AP)be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and (AQ)after three days rise again. 32 And he said this (AR)plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, (AS)“Get behind me, Satan! For you (AT)are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him (AU)deny himself and (AV)take up his cross and follow me. 35 For (AW)whoever would save his life[d] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake (AX)and the gospel's will save it. 36 (AY)For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For (AZ)what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For (BA)whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this (BB)adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed (BC)when he comes in the glory of his Father with (BD)the holy angels.”
