1In those days again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them:
1In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,
2I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.
2“I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.
3If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a great distance.”
4And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?
4His disciples replied, “Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people?”
5And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven.
5“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.
6And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.
6And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.
7And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.
7They also had a few small fish, and Jesus blessed them and ordered that these be set before them as well.
8And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.
8The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
9And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
9And about four thousand men were present. As soon as Jesus had dismissed the crowd,
10And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
10He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, asking him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
11Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.
12And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation.
12Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13And leaving them, he went up again into the ship, and passed to the other side of the water.
13And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.
14And they forgot to take bread; and they had but one loaf with them in the ship.
14Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
15And he charged them, saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
15“Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.”
16And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because we have no bread.
16So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.
17Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? do you not yet know nor understand? have you still your heart blinded?
17Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them, “Why are you debating about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Do you have such hard hearts?
18Having eyes, see you not? and having ears, hear you not? neither do you remember.
18‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?
19When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him, Twelve.
19When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Twelve,” they answered.
20When also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments took you up? And they say to him, Seven.
20“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Seven,” they said.
21And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?
21Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?”
22And they came to Bethsaida; and they bring to him a blind man, and they besought him that he would touch him.
22When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town; and spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing.
23So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then He spit on the man’s eyes and placed His hands on him. “Can you see anything?” He asked.
24And looking up, he said: I see men as it were trees, walking.
24The man looked up and said, “I can see the people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes, and he began to see, and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly.
25Once again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and when he opened them his sight was restored, and he could see everything clearly.
26And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if thou enter into the town, tell nobody.
26Jesus sent him home and said, “Do not go back into the village.”
27And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am?
27Then Jesus and His disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way, He questioned His disciples: “Who do people say I am?”
28Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets.
28They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”
29Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ.
29“But what about you?” Jesus asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
30And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him.
30And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about Him.
31And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed: and after three days rise again.
31Then He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and after three days rise again.
32And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him.
32He spoke this message quite frankly, and Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
33Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the things that are of God, but that are of men.
33But Jesus, turning and looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
34And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
34Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
35For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.
35For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and for the gospel will save it.
36For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
36What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
37Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
37Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
38For he that shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
38If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
39And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
