| [an error occurred while processing this directive] | English Standard Version |
| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1In 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, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.” |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?” |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12And he sighed deeply 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20“And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?” |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26And he sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.” |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27And 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31And he began to teach them that 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37For what can a man give in return for his soul? |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” |
