Feeding the Four Thousand(A)

In those days, (B)the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them, “I have (C)compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.”

Then His disciples answered Him, “How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?”

(D)He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”

And they said, “Seven.”

So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. They also had a few small fish; and (E)having blessed them, He said to set them also before them. So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments. Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away, 10 (F)immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.

The Pharisees Seek a Sign(G)

11 (H)Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. 12 But He (I)sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, (J)no sign shall be given to this generation.”

Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod(K)

13 And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side. 14 (L)Now [a]the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat. 15 (M)Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the [b]leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”

17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? (N)Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart [c]still hardened? 18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 (O)When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?”

They said to Him, “Twelve.”

20 “Also, (P)when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?”

And they said, “Seven.”

21 So He said to them, “How is it (Q)you do not understand?”

A Blind Man Healed at Bethsaida

22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a (R)blind man to Him, and begged Him to (S)touch him. 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when (T)He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”

25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, [d]“Neither go into the town, (U)nor tell anyone in the town.”

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ(V)

27 (W)Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?”

28 So they answered, (X)“John the Baptist; but some say, (Y)Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”

29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Peter answered and said to Him, (Z)“You are the Christ.”

30 (AA)Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him.

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(AB)

31 And (AC)He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be (AD)rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be (AE)killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He (AF)rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not [e]mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(AG)

34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, (AH)“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For (AI)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 (AJ)For whoever (AK)is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

Jesus alimenta 4000 homens

(Mt 15.32-39)

Naquele tempo, estando outra grande multidão reunida, o povo ficou novamente sem provisões. Jesus chamou os discípulos para perto de si e disse: “Sinto compaixão desta gente, porque estão comigo há três dias e não têm com que se alimentar. Se os mandar embora com fome, desfalecem pelo caminho, pois alguns vêm de muito longe.” Os discípulos responderam-lhe: “E onde se poderá aqui num deserto arranjar pão para alimentá-los?” “Quantos pães têm?”, inquiriu. “Sete”, responderam.

Mandou então que todos se sentassem no chão. E tomando os sete pães, deu graças a Deus, partiu-os em pedaços e entregou-os aos discípulos, para os levarem à multidão; e estes assim fizeram. Encontraram também alguns peixinhos que Jesus igualmente abençoou e mandou os discípulos servir.

E a multidão comeu até ficar satisfeita. Recolhidas as sobras, ainda sobejaram sete cestos. Havia cerca de 4000 homens. Então mandou-os embora.

Os religiosos pedem um sinal

(Mt 16.1-4)

10 Logo a seguir entrou num barco com os discípulos e foi para a região de Dalmanuta. 11 Quando os fariseus daquela terra souberam da sua chegada, vieram e começaram a discutir com ele, pedindo-lhe que fizesse um sinal do céu, para o porem à prova. 12 Ao ouvir estas palavras, sentiu-se profundamente triste no seu espírito e disse: “Porque pede esta geração um sinal? É realmente como vos digo: não receberá nenhum sinal!” 13 Então deixou-os e voltou para o barco, atravessando para a outra margem do lago.

O fermento dos fariseus e de Herodes

(Mt 16.5-12)

14 Os discípulos, contudo, tinham-se esquecido de fazer provisão de comida antes de partirem, pelo que só tinham um pão a bordo. 15 Durante a travessia, Jesus disse-lhes muito solenemente: “Prestem atenção, tenham cuidado com o fermento do rei Herodes e dos fariseus.”

16 “Que quererá dizer?”, perguntavam os discípulos uns aos outros. E chegaram à conclusão de que devia referir-se ao facto de se terem esquecido de levar pão.

17 Jesus percebeu o que discutiam entre si: “Porque se preocupam tanto por não terem pão? Nunca chegaram a compreender? Será porventura o vosso coração demasiado duro para entender isto? 18 Se têm olhos, porque não veem? Se têm ouvidos, porque não ouvem? Já não se lembram? 19 E os 5000 homens que alimentei só com cinco pães? Quantos cestos cheios de sobras recolheram depois?” Disseram: “Doze.” 20 “E quando alimentei os 4000 com sete pães, quanto sobejou?” Responderam: “Sete cestos cheios.” 21 Jesus disse-lhes: “Não perceberam ainda?”

A cura do cego de Betsaida

22 Quando chegaram a Betsaida, algumas pessoas trouxeram-lhe um cego, pedindo-lhe que tocasse nele e o curasse. 23 Jesus tomou o cego pela mão e levou-o para fora da aldeia. Aí, cuspiu-lhe nos olhos e pôs as mãos em cima deles. “Já vês alguma coisa?”, perguntou a seguir.

24 O homem olhou em volta: “Sim! Vejo homens mas não os distingo bem; parecem troncos de árvore a andar de um lado para o outro.”

25 Então pôs outra vez as mãos em cima dos olhos do homem e, quando olhou bem, tinha recuperado completamente a visão e via claramente o que se passava à sua volta. 26 Jesus mandou-o para casa, para junto da família. “Não passes sequer pela aldeia”, recomendou-lhe.

A confissão de Pedro sobre Jesus

(Mt 16.13-16, 20; Lc 9.18-21)

27 Jesus e os discípulos saíram da Galileia e foram para as vilas de Cesareia de Filipe. Enquanto caminhavam, perguntou-lhes: “Quem diz o povo que eu sou?”

28 “Há quem diga que és João Batista. Outros afirmam que és Elias ou um dos outros profetas.”

29 Então perguntou-lhes: “E vocês, quem pensam que eu sou?” Pedro respondeu: “Tu és o Cristo!” 30 Jesus recomendou-lhes que não o dissessem a ninguém.

Jesus fala da sua morte

(Mt 16.21-23; Lc 9.22)

31 E começou a ensiná-los: “O Filho do Homem está destinado a passar por muitos sofrimentos, ser rejeitado pelos anciãos, pelos principais sacerdotes e pelos especialistas na Lei e ser morto, mas três dias depois ressuscitará.” 32 Falando com eles abertamente, Pedro chamou-o à parte e começou a repreendê-lo.

33 Jesus voltou-se, e depois de olhar para os discípulos, disse severamente a Pedro: “Vai para trás de mim, Satanás! Vês as coisas do ponto de vista humano e não do ponto de vista de Deus.”

Como ser discípulo de Cristo

(Mt 16.24-28; Lc 9.23-27)

34 Chamando os discípulos e o povo para o ouvirem, falou-lhes assim: “Se alguém quiser ser meu seguidor, tem de esquecer-se de si próprio, tomar a sua cruz e seguir-me. 35 Quem quiser salvar a sua vida perdê-la-á. E quem perder a sua vida por minha causa e por causa do evangelho salvá-la-á. 36 Que lucro terá o homem em ganhar o mundo inteiro e causar dano à própria vida? 37 Haverá alguma coisa mais valiosa do que a própria vida da pessoa? 38 Quem se envergonhar de mim e das minhas palavras, no meio desta geração adúltera e pecadora, também o Filho do Homem se envergonhará desse, quando vier na glória de seu Pai com os santos anjos.”

Jesus gir mat til 4 000

På nytt var mye folk samlet, og de hadde ikke noe å spise. Jesus ba da disiplene komme bort til seg og sa:

”Jeg føler sterkt med folket. De har vært hos meg i tre dager og har ikke noe å spise. Dersom jeg sender dem hjem uten at de har fått mat, kan de besvime av utmattelse langs veien. Noen av dem bor jo langt herfra.”

Disiplene svarte: ”Hvor skal vi få tak i nok mat til alle disse menneskene her i ødemarken?”

Jesus spurte: ”Hvor mange brød har dere?” ”Sju”, svarte de.

Da ba Jesus folket å slå seg ned på bakken. Han tok de sju brødene, takket Gud for maten og brøt dem i biter. Bitene ga han til disiplene, som i sin tur delte dem ut til folket. I tillegg hadde de noen små fisker. Jesus takket Gud også for dem og ba disiplene å dele ut.

Alle spiste og ble mette. Da de til slutt samlet sammen det som var til overs, ble det sju fulle kurver. Det var omkring 4 000 personer til stede. Etterpå sendte Jesus folket hjem. 10 Han steg ombord i en båt og dro til distriktet ved Dalmanuta[a] sammen med disiplene.

De religiøse lederne vil se et tegn fra Gud

11 Da fariseerne[b] fikk vite at Jesus var der, kom de for å diskutere med ham. De forlangte at han skulle gi dem et tegn fra Gud som bevis på hvem han var.

12 Jesus ble dypt skuffet da han hørte dette og sukket: ”Hvorfor må denne slekten se tegn for å kunne tro? Nei, jeg forsikrer dere at Gud skal ikke la dere få se noe tegn.” 13 Så dro han fra dem og steg i båten igjen og dro over til den andre siden av sjøen.

Jesus advarer mot falsk undervisning

14 Disiplene oppdaget nå at de hadde glemt å skaffe seg mat før de dro. Et eneste brød var alt de hadde med seg i båten.

15 Jesus begynte å advare dem og sa: ”Ta dere nøye i vare både for fariseerne[c] og kong Herodes sin deig som ligger og gjærer.[d]

16 ”Hva mener han?” spurte disiplene hverandre. De trodde han sa dette fordi de hadde glemt å ta med seg brød.

17 Da Jesus hørte dem diskutere dette, sa han: ”Hvorfor er dere så urolige for at dere ikke har brød med dere? Forstår dere fortsatt ingenting? Er dere så trege til å fatte? 18 Dere har øyne å se med og ser likevel ingenting, og øre å høre med og hører likevel ingenting. Har dere glemt 19 at jeg mettet mer enn 5 000 personer med bare fem brød? Hvor mange fulle kurver med rester plukket dere opp den gangen?”

”Tolv”, sa de.

20 ”Da jeg mettet mer enn 4 000 personer med sju brød, hvor mange kurver fikk dere da til overs?”

”Sju”, svarte de.

21 Jesus sa: ”Forstår dere fortsatt ingenting?”

En blind mann begynner å se

22 Da de kom over til Betsaida, førte de en blind mann til Jesus og ba at han måtte røre ved mannen og helbrede han. 23 Jesus tok da den blinde mannen ved hånden og førte ham ut av byen. Der spyttet han på øynene hans og la hendene sine på ham.

”Kan du se noe?” spurte Jesus.

24 Mannen så seg omkring. ”Ja”, sa han, ”jeg ser folk. Men de ser ut som trær som går omkring!”

25 Da la Jesus hendene sine på mannens øyne en gang til. Og nå ble mannen helt helbredet og kunne se igjen, og han så alle ting klart som dagen.

26 Senere sendte Jesus mannen hjem med denne henstillingen: ”Gå ikke inn i byen på veien hjem.”

Peter kaller Jesus for Messias, den lovede kongen

27 Jesus og disiplene dro fra Galilea og gikk nordover til byene rundt Cæsarea Filippi[e]. Mens de gikk langs veien, spurte han: ”Hvem sier folk at jeg er?”

28 ”Noen sier at du er døperen Johannes”, svarte disiplene, ”noen sier at du er Elia[f], og andre at du er en annen av profetene som før i tiden bar fram Guds budskap[g].”

29 Da spurte han: ”Hvem tror dere at jeg er?”

Peter svarte: ”Du er Messias[h], den lovede kongen.” 30 Men Jesus forbød dem strengt å snakke med noen om dette.

Jesus forutsier første gangen at han skal dø

31 Etter dette begynte Jesus å undervise disiplene om at han, Menneskesønnen[i], måtte lide mye. Han forklarte at folkets ledere, øversteprestene og de skriftlærde[j] ville ta avstand fra ham og stå bak at han ble drept, men at han etter tre[k] dager skulle stå opp igjen fra de døde. 32 Dette sa han helt åpent. Peter dro han da til sides og begynte å protestere.

33 Jesus vendte seg om og så bort mot disiplene og sa strengt til Peter: ”Gå bort fra meg, Satan! Det du nå tenker, er mennesketanker og kommer ikke fra Gud.”

34 Så kalte han disiplene til seg og ba folket å komme. Og han sa til dem:

”Om noen vil bli disiplene mine, da kan han ikke lenger tenke på seg selv, men må følge mitt eksempel og være beredt til å dø. 35 Ja, den som klamrer seg fast til livet, skal til sist miste det, men den som mister livet sitt for min skyld for å spre budskapet om meg, han skal berge det.

36 Hva vinner et menneske om hele verden blir gitt ham, dersom han samtidig mister det evige livet? 37 Ingen penger i hele verden kan hjelpe et menneske til å få livet tilbake. 38 Den som innfor vår tids gudløse og syndige mennesker skammer seg over meg og budskapet mitt, han skal jeg, Menneskesønnen[l], skamme meg over når jeg vender tilbake til min Fars herlighet sammen med englene hans.”

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(A)(B)(C)

During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people;(D) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”

His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”

“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.

“Seven,” they replied.

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. They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them.(E) The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(F) 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 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.”
