¹ In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing+ to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said to them, ² I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing+ to eat: ³ And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for various of them came from far. ⁴ And his disciples answered him, From where can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? ⁵ And he asked them, How many loaves have you? And they said, Seven. ⁶ And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. ⁷ And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them]. ⁸ So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. ⁹ And those had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away. ¹⁰ And immediately he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. ¹¹ And the Pharisees came forward, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. ¹² And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, Why does this generation seek after a sign? truly I say to you, There will no sign be given to this generation. ¹³ And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side. ¹⁴ Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither+ had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. ¹⁵ And he charged them, saying, Take care, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. ¹⁶ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. ¹⁷ And when Jesus knew it, he said to them, Why reason you, because you have no bread? perceive you not yet, neither understand? have you your heart yet hardened? ¹⁸ Having eyes, see you not? and having ears, hear you not? and do you not remember? ¹⁹ When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him, Twelve. ²⁰ And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? And they said, Seven. ²¹ And he said to them, How is it that you do not understand? ²² And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man to him, and asked him to touch him. ²³ And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands on him, he asked him if he saw should. ²⁴ And he looked up, and said, I see men as+ trees, walking. ²⁵ After that he put his hands again on his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. ²⁶ And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. ²⁷ And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am? ²⁸ And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets. ²⁹ And he said to them, But who say you that I am? And Peter answers and said to him, You are the Christ. ³⁰ And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. ³¹ And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. ³² And he spoke that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. ³³ But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind me, Satan: for you savours not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men. ³⁴ And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. ³⁵ For whoever+ will save his life will lose it; but whoever+ will lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same will save it. ³⁶ For what will it profit a man, if he will gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? ³⁷ Or what will a man give in exchanges for his soul? ³⁸ Whoever+ therefore will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also will the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
