1	In those dayes, when there was a very great multitude, and had nothing to eate, Iesus called his disciples to him, and said vnto them,	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,	During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said,
2	I haue compassion on the multitude, because they haue nowe continued with mee three dayes, and haue nothing to eate.	“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat.	“I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat.
3	And if I sende them away fasting to their owne houses, they woulde faint by the way: for some of them came from farre.	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.”	If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”
4	Then his disciples answered him, Whence can a man satisfie these with bread here in the wildernes?	And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?”	His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”
5	And hee asked them, Howe many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen.	And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”	“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.
6	Then he commaunded the multitude to sit downe on the grounde: and hee tooke the seuen loaues, and gaue thankes, brake them, and gaue to his disciples to set before them, and they did set them before the people.	And 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.	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 also a few small fishes: and when he had giuen thankes, he commaunded them also to be set before them.	And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them.	They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them.
8	So they did eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full.	And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.	The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
9	(And they that had eaten, were about foure thousand) so he sent them away.	And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away.	About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away,
10	And anon he entred into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.	And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.	he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
11	And the Pharises came foorth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a signe from heauen, and tempting him.	The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him.	The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven.
12	Then hee sighed deepely in his spirit, and saide, Why doeth this generation seeke a signe? Verely I say vnto you, a signe shall not be giuen vnto this generation.	And 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.”	He sighed deeply and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.”
13	So he left them, and went into the ship againe, and departed to the other side.	And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.	Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.
14	And they had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the shippe with them, but one loafe.	Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.	The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
15	And he charged them, saying, Take heede, and beware of the leauen of the Pharises, and of the leauen of Herod.	And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”	“Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.”
16	And they reasoned among themselues, saying, It is, because we haue no bread.	And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread.	They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”
17	And when Iesus knew it, he said vnto them, Why reason you thus, because ye haue no bread? perceiue ye not yet, neither vnderstande? haue ye your hearts yet hardened?	And 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?	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?
18	Haue yee eyes, and see not? and haue yee eares, and heare not? and doe ye not remember?	Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?	Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember?
19	When I brake the fiue loaues among fiue thousand, how many baskets full of broken meate tooke ye vp? They said vnto him, Twelue.	When 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.”	When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied.
20	And when I brake seuen among foure thousande, howe many baskets of the leauings of broken meate tooke ye vp? And they said, Seuen.	“And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.”	“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.”
21	Then he saide vnto them, Howe is it that ye vnderstand not?	And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”	He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”
22	And hee came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blinde man vnto him, and desired him to touch him.	And they came to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him.	They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23	Then he tooke the blinde by the hand, and ledde him out of the towne, and spat in his eyes, and put his handes vpon him, and asked him, if he sawe ought.	And 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?”	He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”
24	And he looked vp, and said, I see men: for I see them walking like trees.	And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.”	He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”
25	After that, he put his hands againe vpon his eyes, and made him looke againe; hee was restored to his sight, and sawe euery man a farre off clearely.	Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.	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	And hee sent him home to his house, saying, Neither goe into the towne, nor tell it to any in the towne.	And he sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.”	Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.”
27	And Iesus went out, and his disciples into the townes of Cesarea Philippi; by the way hee asked his disciples, saying vnto them, Whome doe men say that I am?	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?”	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	And they answered, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and some, one of the Prophets.	And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”	They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets.”
29	And he said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am? Then Peter answered, and saide vnto him, Thou art that Christ.	And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.”	“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”
30	And he sharpely charged them, that concerning him they should tell no man.	And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.	Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
31	Then hee began to teache them that the Sonne of man must suffer many things, and should be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and of the Scribes, and be slaine, and within three dayes rise againe.	And 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.	He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.
32	And he spake that thing boldly. Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him.	And he said this plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.	He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33	Then he turned backe, & looked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behinde me, Satan: for thou vnderstandest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.	But 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.”	But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
34	And hee called the people vnto him with his disciples, and saide vnto them, Whosoeuer will followe me, let him forsake himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me.	And 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.	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.
35	For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: but whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospels, he shall saue it.	For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.	For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.
36	For what shall it profite a man, though he should winne the whole world, if he lose his soule?	For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?	What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?
37	Or what exchange shall a man giue for his soule?	For what can a man give in return for his soul?	Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
38	For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of mee, and of my wordes among this adulterous and sinfull generation, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed also, when he commeth in the glorie of his Father with the holy Angels.	For 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.”	If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
