Jesus Feeds Four Thousand
8 In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, (A)Jesus called His disciples and *said to them, 2 “(B)I feel compassion for the crowd because they have remained 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 a great distance.” 4 And His disciples answered Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough [a]bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?” 5 And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” 6 And He *directed the crowd to [b]sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them. And He kept giving them to His disciples to [c]serve to them, and they served them to the crowd. 7 And they also had a few small fish; and (C)after He blessed them, He ordered these to be [d]served as well. 8 And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large (D)baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces. 9 Now about four thousand were there, and He sent them away. 10 And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of (E)Dalmanutha.
11 (F)And the Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, (G)seeking from Him [e]a sign from heaven, testing Him. 12 (H)And sighing deeply [f]in His spirit, He *said, “Why does this generation seek [g]a sign? Truly I say to you, [h](I)no [i]sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.
14 And they 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 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 do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? (L)Do you not yet perceive or understand? Do you have a hardened heart? 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 they *brought a blind man to Jesus and *pleaded with Him to (T)touch him. 23 And taking the blind man by the hand, He (U)brought him out of the village; and after (V)spitting on his eyes and (W)laying His hands on him, He was asking him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And he [j]looked up and was saying, “I see men, for [k]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 Confesses Jesus Is the Christ
27 (Y)And Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of (Z)Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He was asking His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 (AA)And they told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.” 29 And He continued asking them, “But who do you say that I am?” (AB)Peter *answered and *said to Him, “You are the [l]Christ.” 30 And (AC)He [m]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 again. 32 And He was stating the matter (AF)openly. 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 [n]God’s interests, but man’s.”
Take Up Your Cross
34 And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wishes to [o]come after Me, he must deny himself, and (AH)take up his cross and follow Me. 35 For (AI)whoever wishes to save his [p]life will lose it, but whoever loses his [q]life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? 37 For what will a man 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.”

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.”

Jesus mättar fyra tusen
8 (A) Vid den tiden hände det återigen att mycket folk hade samlats, och de hade inget att äta. Då kallade Jesus till sig sina lärjungar och sade till dem: 2 "Jag lider med folket. Nu har de varit hos mig i tre dagar, och de har inget att äta. 3 Skickar jag hem dem hungriga blir de utmattade på vägen. Några av dem kommer långväga ifrån."
4 Hans lärjungar svarade honom: "Varifrån ska man få mat att mätta dem med här i ödemarken?" 5 Han frågade dem: "Hur många bröd har ni?" "Sju", svarade de.
6 Då befallde han folket att slå sig ner på marken. Han tog de sju bröden, tackade Gud, bröt dem och gav åt sina lärjungar för att de skulle dela ut dem, och de delade ut till folket. 7 De hade också några små fiskar, och han tackade Gud för dem[a] och sade att också de skulle delas ut. 8 Och alla åt och blev mätta, och de plockade upp bitarna som blivit över, sju korgar. 9 Det var omkring fyra tusen där. Sedan sände han i väg dem.
Fariseerna begär tecken
10 Strax därefter steg han i båten med sina lärjungar och for till trakten av Dalmanuta[b]. 11 (B) Fariseerna kom dit och började diskutera med honom. För att pröva honom begärde de ett tecken från himlen. 12 Jesus suckade i sin ande och sade: "Varför begär det här släktet ett tecken? Jag säger er sanningen: Det här släktet kommer aldrig att få något tecken." 13 Och han lämnade dem och steg i båten igen och for över till andra sidan sjön.
Varning för hyckleriets surdeg
14 (C) Lärjungarna hade glömt att ta med sig bröd. De hade bara ett enda bröd med sig i båten. 15 (D) Då varnade Jesus dem och sade: "Se upp och akta er för fariseernas surdeg och för Herodes surdeg!" 16 De började då säga till varandra att de inte hade något bröd.
17 (E) Jesus märkte det och frågade dem: "Varför säger ni att ni inte har bröd? Förstår ni fortfarande inte, fattar ni inte? Har ni förhärdade hjärtan, 18 (F) ögon som inte ser och öron som inte hör? Kommer ni inte ihåg 19 (G) när jag bröt de fem bröden åt fem tusen? Hur många korgar fulla med brödbitar fick ni då?" De svarade: "Tolv." 20 (H) "Och när jag bröt de sju bröden åt fyra tusen, hur många korgar fyllde ni då med brödbitar?" De svarade: "Sju." 21 Han sade till dem: "Förstår ni fortfarande inte?"
Jesus botar en blind
22 De kom till Betsaida. Där förde man fram en blind till Jesus och bad honom röra vid mannen. 23 (I) Då tog han den blindes hand och ledde honom ut ur byn. Sedan spottade han på hans ögon, lade händerna på honom och frågade: "Ser du något?"
24 Han öppnade ögonen och sade: "Jag ser människorna, de går omkring men de ser ut som träd." 25 Då lade Jesus händerna på hans ögon igen, och nu såg han bra och var återställd och såg allt tydligt och klart. 26 Jesus skickade hem honom med orden: "Gå inte ens in i byn!"
Petrus bekännelse
27 (J) Sedan gick Jesus och hans lärjungar ut till byarna runt Caesarea Filippi. På vägen frågade han sina lärjungar: "Vem säger människorna att jag är?" 28 De svarade: "Johannes Döparen. Men vissa säger Elia, och andra någon av profeterna."
29 Då frågade han dem: "Och ni? Vem säger ni att jag är?" Petrus svarade honom: "Du är Messias." 30 Men Jesus befallde dem strängt att inte säga det till någon.
Jesus talar om sitt lidande
31 (K) Sedan började Jesus undervisa dem: "Människosonen måste lida mycket och bli förkastad av de äldste och översteprästerna och de skriftlärda. Han måste bli dödad, och efter tre dagar uppstå igen." 32 Rakt på sak talade han om detta.
Då tog Petrus honom åt sidan och började tillrättavisa honom. 33 Men Jesus vände sig om och såg på sina lärjungar och tillrättavisade Petrus med orden: "Gå bort från mig[c], Satan! Dina tankar är inte Guds utan människors."
Att följa Jesus
34 (L) Och han kallade till sig folket och sina lärjungar och sade till dem: "Om någon vill följa mig, ska han förneka sig själv[d] och ta sitt kors och följa mig. 35 (M) Den som vill rädda sitt liv ska mista det, men den som mister sitt liv för min och för evangeliets skull ska rädda det. 36 För vad hjälper det en människa om hon vinner hela världen men förlorar sin själ? 37 (N) Vad kan en människa ge till lösen för sin själ? 38 (O) Den som skäms för mig och mina ord i det här trolösa och syndiga släktet, honom ska också Människosonen skämmas för när han kommer i sin Fars härlighet med de heliga änglarna."
