Jesús alimenta a los cuatro mil
8 En aquellos días, de nuevo había una gran multitud que no tenía qué comer. Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo:
2 ―Siento compasión de la gente, porque ya llevan tres días aquí y se les ha acabado la comida. 3 Si los envío sin comer, se desmayarán en el camino porque muchos han venido de lejos.
4 ―Y en un lugar desierto como este, ¿dónde se podrá encontrar alimentos para darles de comer? —protestaron los discípulos.
5 ―¿Cuántos panes tienen? —les preguntó.
―Siete —respondieron.
6 Pidió a la multitud que se sentara en el suelo. Luego tomó los siete panes, dio gracias a Dios por ellos, los partió y los fue pasando a los discípulos. Los discípulos a su vez los fueron distribuyendo. 7 Encontraron también unos pescaditos. Jesús los bendijo y pidió a los discípulos que los repartieran. 8 Todos comieron y se hartaron. Al terminar, recogieron siete cestas de alimentos que sobraron; 9 y eran como cuatro mil los que comieron. Después Jesús los despidió.
10 Acto seguido se embarcó con sus discípulos hacia la región de Dalmanuta. 11 Allí llegaron los fariseos y empezaron a discutir con él.
Para ponerlo a prueba le dijeron:
―Haz alguna señal en el cielo.
12 Y él, suspirando profundamente, respondió:
―¿Por qué pide esta gente una señal? Les aseguro que no se le dará ninguna. 13 Entonces los dejó y se embarcó de nuevo. Esta vez se fue al otro lado del lago.
La levadura de los fariseos y la de Herodes
14 A los discípulos se les olvidó comprar alimentos antes de salir, y sólo tenían un pan en la barca. 15 Jesús les advirtió:
―¡Cuidado con la levadura del rey Herodes y la de los fariseos!
16 Los discípulos se preguntaban intrigados: ¿Se referirá a que se nos olvidó el pan?
17 Jesús, que sabía lo que estaban comentando, les dijo:
―¿Por qué están hablando de que no tienen pan? ¿Todavía no ven ni entienden? ¿Tienen el corazón tan endurecido? 18 ¿Acaso tienen ojos y no ven, y oídos y no escuchan? ¿Ya no se acuerdan de 19 que alimenté a cinco mil hombres con cinco panes? ¿Cuántas cestas llenas sobraron?
―Doce— contestaron.
20 ―Y cuando alimenté a los cuatro mil con siete panes, ¿qué sobró?
―Siete cestas llenas —le respondieron.
21 ―¿Y todavía no entienden? —les dijo.
Jesús sana a un ciego en Betsaida
22 Llegaron luego a Betsaida; le llevaron a un ciego y le rogaron que lo tocara. 23 Jesús tomó al ciego de la mano y lo sacó del pueblo. Una vez fuera, le mojó los ojos con saliva y le puso las manos encima.
―¿Ves algo ahora? —le preguntó.
24 El hombre miró a su alrededor.
―¡Sí! —dijo—. Veo gente y parecen como árboles que caminan.
25 Jesús le colocó de nuevo las manos sobre los ojos, y el hombre miró fijamente y pudo ver todo con claridad.
26 Jesús le ordenó que regresara con su familia.
―No entres en el pueblo —le dijo.
La confesión de Pedro
27 Jesús y sus discípulos siguieron hacia los pueblos de Cesarea de Filipo. En el camino les preguntó:
―¿Quién cree la gente que soy?
28 ―Algunos dicen que eres Juan el Bautista —le respondieron—; y otros afirman que eres Elías o uno de los profetas.
29 ―¿Y quién creen ustedes que soy?
Pedro le respondió:
―¡Tú eres el Mesías!
30 Jesús les mandó que no se lo dijeran a nadie.
Jesús predice su muerte
31 Y empezó a enseñarles que era necesario que el Hijo del hombre sufriera mucho y que iba a ser rechazado por los ancianos, los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley. Les dijo también que lo matarían, pero resucitaría después de tres días.
32 Con tanta franqueza les habló, que Pedro lo llamó aparte y lo reprendió.
33 Pero Jesús le volvió la espalda y, mirando a los otros discípulos, reprendió a Pedro:
―¡Apártate de mí, Satanás! ¡Estás mirando las cosas como las ven los hombres y no como las ve Dios!
34 Dicho esto, llamó a la multitud junto con sus discípulos y añadió:
―Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz y sígame. 35 El que se afana por salvar su vida, la perderá. Pero los que pierden su vida por mi causa y por la causa del evangelio, la salvarán.
36 »¿De qué le sirve a una persona ganarse el mundo entero si pierde su vida? 37 ¿Qué se puede dar a cambio de la vida? 38 Si alguien se avergüenza de mí y de mi mensaje en medio de esta gente incrédula y pecadora, el Hijo del hombre se avergonzará de él cuando venga en la gloria de su Padre con los santos ángeles.

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand
8 (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, 2 (B)“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. 3 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.” 4 And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?” 5 And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, (C)“Seven.” 6 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. 7 And they had a few small fish. And (E)having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them. 8 And (F)they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, (G)seven baskets full. 9 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.”

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(A)(B)(C)
8 During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, 2 “I have compassion for these people;(D) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”
4 His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”
5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.
“Seven,” they replied.
6 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. 7 They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them.(E) 8 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(F) 9 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.”
