1 At that time, as the company were very numerous, and had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and said, 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 am concern'd for this people, they have been with me now three days without having had any thing to eat. “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 if I send them home fasting, they will faint by the way: for some of them are come very far. 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 his disciples answer'd, how is it possible here in the desart to furnish bread enough for all this company? 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 he ask'd them, how many loaves have ye? 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 seven, said they, then he order'd the people to sit down on the ground: and taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, then broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute among the people, which they accordingly did. 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 and there being a few small fishes, he gave thanks, and order'd them to be distributed. 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 all eat and were satisfied, the broken meat that was left amounting to seven baskets. 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 now they that had eaten were four thousand: and then he dismissed them. And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away. About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away,
10 Soon after he and his disciples embark'd, and arrived in the district 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 there the Pharisees being come, they began to dispute with him, and to try him, desir'd he would work some miracle in the sky. 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 but Jesus fetching a deep sigh, said, why does this generation require a sign? I assure you, they shall have none. 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 then leaving them he went aboard again, and pass'd 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 Now the disciples had forgot to take bread, and had but one loaf aboard with them. 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 as he was then directing them diligently to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven 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 they said to one another, this is because we did not take bread: which Jesus perceiving, 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 said, why do you trouble your heads about your having no bread? are you yet so void of sense, and understanding? are your minds so blinded? 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 have you eyes, and yet don't see? have you ears, and yet not hear? have you lost your memory too? 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 divided the five loaves among five thousand people, how many baskets full of fragments did you take away? they answer'd, twelve. 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 divided the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you carry away? they answered, seven. “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 don't you yet, said he, comprehend my meaning? And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?” He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”
22 Afterwards Jesus went to Bethsaida, where they presented to him a blind man, whom they entreated Jesus to touch. 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 taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of town, when applying his spittle to the man's eyes, and laying his hands upon him, he ask'd if he saw any thing. 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 so looking up, he said, I see men; for by their walking I distinguish them from 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 then he put his hands upon his eyes, and made him look again, and his sight was so well recovered, he could see distinctly. 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 so he sent him home, with a charge not to go into the town, nor mention it to any body belonging to that place. 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 From thence Jesus went attended with his disciples to the villages of Cesarea Philippi, and ask'd them by the way, who do they say 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 they answered, some say you are John the Baptist; others, Elias; and others, 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 but who, said he, do you take me to be? Peter answered, you are the Messiah: 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 upon which he gave them a severe charge, not to say that of him to any man. And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him. Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
31 At length he began to inform them, that the son of man should suffer many indignities, be rejected by the chief priests, Scribes, and senators, be even put to death, and after three days should rise again. 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 this he said in such an undisguised manner, that Peter took him aside, and pretended to reprimand 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 but Jesus return'd, and looking upon his disciples, he gave Peter this rebuke, be gone, thou adversary, your views are all worldly, regardless of what is divine. 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 Then addressing himself to the people, and his disciples, he said, he that desires to be under my conduct, let him renounce himself, 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 he that would save his life, shall lose it; and he that would lose his life out of love to me and the gospel, he shall save 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 what advantage is it for a man to gain the whole world with the loss of his life? 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 would not a man bestow to preserve himself? For what can a man give in return for his soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?
38 whosoever therefore shall be asham'd of me, and of my doctrine in this degenerate and corrupted age, of him likewise shall the son of man be asham'd, when he shall come with the glory of his father, accompanied with 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.”
