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.

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.”

Four Thousand Men Fed

In those days, (A)when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus summoned His disciples and *said to them, (B)I feel compassion for the [a]people because they have remained with Me for three days already 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 a great distance.” And His disciples replied to Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough [b]bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?” And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” And He *directed the [c]people to recline on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve, and they served them to the [d]people. They also had a few small fish; and (C)after He had blessed them, He told the disciples to serve these as well. And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large (D)baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces. About four thousand [e]men were there; and He dismissed them. 10 And immediately He got into the boat with His disciples and came to the region of (E)Dalmanutha.

11 (F)And the Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, (G)demanding from Him a [f]sign from heaven, [g]to test Him. 12 (H)Sighing deeply in His spirit, He *said, “Why does this generation demand a [h]sign? Truly I say to you, [i](I)no [j]sign will be given to this generation!” 13 And leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.

14 And the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them. 15 And He was giving orders to them, saying, (J)Watch out! Beware of the [k]leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of (K)Herod.” 16 And they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread. 17 And Jesus, aware of this, *said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? (L)Do you not yet comprehend or understand? Do you still have your heart [l]hardened? 18 (M)Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember, 19 when I broke (N)the five loaves for the five thousand, how many (O)baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?” They *said to Him, “Twelve.” 20 “When I broke (P)the seven for the four thousand, how many large (Q)baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” And they *said to Him, “Seven.” 21 And He was saying to them, (R)Do you not yet understand?”

22 And they *came to (S)Bethsaida. And some people *brought a man who was blind to [m]Jesus and *begged Him to (T)touch him. 23 Taking the man who was blind by the hand, He (U)brought him out of the village; and after (V)spitting in his eyes and (W)laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And he [n]looked up and said, “I see people, for I see them like trees, walking around.” 25 Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly. 26 And He sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter (X)the village.”

Peter’s Confession of Christ

27 (Y)Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of (Z)Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 (AA)They told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And He continued questioning them: “But who do you say that I am?” (AB)Peter answered and *said to Him, “You are the [o]Christ.” 30 And (AC)He [p]warned them to tell no one about Him.

31 (AD)And He began to teach them that (AE)the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise from the dead. 32 And He was stating the matter (AF)plainly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33 But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and *said, “Get behind Me, (AG)Satan; for you are not setting your mind on [q]God’s purposes, but on man’s.”

34 And He summoned the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, (AH)take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For (AI)whoever wants to save his [r]life will lose it, but whoever loses his [s]life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? 37 For what could a person give in exchange for his soul? 38 For (AJ)whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, (AK)the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He (AL)comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
