In en those ekeinos · ho days hēmera, when once again palin a large polys crowd ochlos had gathered eimi, and kai not having echō anything tis to eat esthiō, Jesus called proskaleō his ho disciples mathētēs and said legō to them autos, I have compassion splanchnizomai on epi the ho crowd ochlos, because hoti they have stayed prosmenō with me egō three treis days hēmera already ēdē and kai they do not ou have echō anything tis to eat esthiō. · kai If ean I send apolyō them autos to eis their autos homes oikos without food nēstis, they will faint eklyō from exhaustion on en the ho way hodos; and kai some tis of them autos have come hēkō from apo a distance makrothen.” And kai his autos disciples mathētēs answered apokrinomai him autos, · ho From what pothen source can dynamai anyone tis feed chortazō these houtos people with bread artos here hōde in epi this desolate erēmia place ?” And kai he asked erōtaō them autos, “ How posos many loaves artos do you have echō?” They ho · de said legō, “ Seven hepta.” So kai he directed parangellō the ho crowd ochlos to sit anapiptō down on epi the ho ground . · kai Taking lambanō the ho seven hepta loaves artos and giving thanks eucharisteō, he broke klaō them and kai gave didōmi them to ho his autos disciples mathētēs to hina distribute paratithēmi. So kai they distributed paratithēmi the bread to the ho crowd ochlos. They also kai had echō a few oligos small fish ichthudion. · kai Blessing eulogeō these autos, Jesus told legō them to distribute paratithēmi these houtos as kai well . And kai they ate esthiō and kai were filled chortazō. And kai they picked airō up seven hepta baskets spyris of leftover perisseuma pieces klasma.

10 And kai immediately he got embainō into eis the ho boat ploion with meta · ho his autos disciples mathētēs and went erchomai to eis the ho district meros of Dalmanutha Dalmanoutha. 11 · kai The ho Pharisees Pharisaios came exerchomai and kai began archō to argue syzēteō with him autos, seeking zēteō from para him autos a sign sēmeion from apo · ho heaven ouranos, testing peirazō him autos. 12 · kai Sighing anastenazō deeply in ho his autos spirit pneuma, he said legō, “ Why tis does · ho this houtos generation genea seek zēteō a sign sēmeion?

14 Now kai the disciples had forgotten epilanthanomai to take lambanō along loaves artos of bread , · kai except ei mē for one heis loaf artos they had echō with meta them heautou in en the ho boat ploion. 15 And kai Jesus began to admonish diastellō them autos, saying legō, “ Watch horaō out !

Then kai, after moistening ptyō the ho eyes omma of the blind autos man with saliva and laying epitithēmi his ho hands cheir on him autos, Jesus asked eperōtaō him autos, “ What ei tis do you see blepō?” 24 · kai Upon regaining anablepō his sight , he said legō, “ I see blepō · ho people anthrōpos walking peripateō, but I see horaō them as hōs trees dendron.” 25 Then eita Jesus again palin put epitithēmi his ho hands cheir on epi the ho man’ s autos eyes ophthalmos, and kai he saw diablepō clearly . · kai His sight was restored apokathistēmi, and kai he saw emblepō everything hapas distinctly tēlaugōs. 26 And kai Jesus sent apostellō him autos to eis his autos home oikos, saying legō, “ Do eiserchomai not mēde go back eiserchomai into eis the ho village kōmē.”

Feeding Four Thousand

In(A) those days there was again a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat. He called(B) the disciples(C) and said to them, “I have compassion(D) on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way,(E) and some of them have come a long distance.”

His disciples answered him, “Where can anyone get enough bread here in this desolate place to feed(F) these people?”

“How many loaves do you have?” he asked them.

“Seven,” they said. He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke(G) them, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people. So they served them to the crowd. They also had a few small fish, and after he had blessed them, he said these were to be served as well. They ate and were satisfied. Then they collected seven large baskets of leftover pieces. About four thousand were there. He dismissed them. 10 And he immediately got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod

11 The(H) Pharisees(I) came and began to argue with him, demanding of him a sign(J) from heaven(K) to test(L) him. 12 Sighing deeply in his spirit,(M) he said, “Why does this generation(N) demand a sign? Truly I tell you,(O) no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat, and went to the other side.

14 The disciples had forgotten to take bread and had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 Then(P) he gave them strict orders: “Watch out! Beware of the leaven[a](Q) of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”(R) 16 They were discussing among themselves that they did not have any bread. 17 Aware of this, he said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact you have no bread? Don’t you understand or comprehend? Do you have hardened hearts?(S) 18 Do you have eyes and not see; do you have ears and not hear?[b](T) And do you not remember?(U) 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of leftovers did you collect?”

“Twelve,” they told him.

20 “When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you collect?”

“Seven,” they said.

21 And he said to them, “Don’t you understand yet?” (V)

Healing a Blind Man

22 They came to Bethsaida.(W) They brought a blind(X) man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and brought him out of the village. Spitting(Y) on his eyes and laying his hands on(Z) him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”

24 He looked up and said, “I see people—they look like trees walking.”(AA)

25 Again Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes. The man looked intently and his sight was restored and he saw everything clearly. 26 Then he sent(AB) him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.”[c](AC)

Peter’s Confession of the Messiah

27 Jesus(AD) went out with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”

28 They answered him, “John the Baptist;(AE) others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets.”(AF)

29 “But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am?”

Peter(AG) answered him, “You are the Messiah.”(AH) 30 And he strictly warned(AI) them to tell no one about him.

His Death and Resurrection Predicted

31 Then(AJ) he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man(AK) to suffer many things and be rejected(AL) by the elders,(AM) chief priests, and scribes,(AN) be killed, and rise(AO) after three days.(AP) 32 He spoke openly about this. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning around and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan!(AQ) You are not thinking about God’s concerns[d] but human concerns.”

Take Up Your Cross

34 Calling the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself,(AR) take up his cross,(AS) and follow me.(AT) 35 For whoever wants to save(AU) his life will lose it,(AV) but whoever loses(AW) his life(AX) because of me(AY) and the gospel(AZ) will save it.(BA) 36 For what does it benefit(BB) someone to gain(BC) the whole world(BD) and yet lose(BE) his life?(BF) 37 What can anyone give in exchange for his life?(BG) 38 For whoever is ashamed(BH) of me and my words(BI) in this adulterous and sinful(BJ) generation,(BK) the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory(BL) of his Father(BM) with the holy(BN) angels.”(BO)
