1  In those days, when a great crowd had gathered, and not having anything to eat, Jesus, having summoned His disciples and said to them,

1  In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

2  I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been remaining with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

2  “I have compassion for the multitude, because, behold, they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat.

2  I have pity for this people, for they have remained with me three days, and they have nothing to eat;

3  And if I dismiss them hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from a [great ]distance."

3  And if I were to send them away fasting to their home, they might faint on the way.” For some of them came from far away.

3  And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

4  Then His disciples answered Him, "From where will anyone be able to satisfy these [people] with bread here in this deserted place?"

4  And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place?

4  His disciples said to him, How can any man here in this lonely place, feed all of these with bread?

5  He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?"And they said, "Seven."

5  And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

5  And he questioned them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”

6  So He commanded the crowd to recline on the ground. And He took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, He broke [them ]and was giving [them] to His disciples, so that they might set [them] before [the people]; and they set them before the crowd.

6  And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

7  And they had a few small fish; and having blessed [them], He said to set them before [the people].

7  And there were a few fishes; he blessed them also, and commanded to set them before them.

8  So they ate and were filled, and they took up an abundance of fragments, seven hampers [full].

8  And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets.

8  So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

9  Now those having eaten were about four thousand. And He dismissed them.

9  And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

9  The men who ate were about four thousand; and he dismissed them.

10  And immediately stepping into the boat with His disciples, He came to the region of Dalmanutha.

10  And straightway he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

11  Then the Pharisees came out and began to question Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.

11  And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.

12  And sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

12  And he sighed in his spirit and said, Why does this generation want a sign? truly I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.

13  And having dismissed them, and stepping into the boat again, He went away to the other side.

13  And he left them, and again entering into [the boat] departed to the other side.

13  And sending them away, he climbed into the boat again, and he went away across the sea.

14  And they forgot to take bread, and except [for] one loaf, they did not have [any] with themselves in the boat.

14  Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

15  Then He charged them, saying, "Look out, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

15  And he instructed them, saying: “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod.”

15  And he commanded them and said to them, Look out, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod.

16  And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, "because we have no bread."

16  And they reasoned one with another, saying, We have no bread.

17  But Jesus, knowing about it, said to them, "Why are you reasoning because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Is your heart still hardened?

17  And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? have ye your heart hardened?

18  Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

18  You have eyes, and yet do you not see? You have ears, and yet do you not hear? And do you not remember?

19  When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?"They said to Him, "Twelve."

20  "And when [I broke] the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of fragments did you take up?"And they said, "Seven."

20  “And when the seven loaves were among the four thousand, how many baskets of fragments did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.”

21  So He said to them, "How [is it] you do not understand?"

21  And he said unto them, Do ye not yet understand?

21  He said to them, How is it then that even yet you cannot understand?

22  Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and implored Him to touch him.

23  And having taken the hand of the blind [man], He led him outside the village, and having spit on his eyes, and having laid His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

23  And he took the blind man by the hand and brought him outside the town; and he spat on his eyes, and put his hands on him, and asked him what he saw.

24  And when he looked up he said, "I see men like trees, walking."

24  And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold [them] as trees, walking.

24  And looking up, he said, “I see men but they are like walking trees.”

25  Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him to look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly again.

25  Next he placed his hands again over his eyes, and he began to see. And he was restored, so that he could see everything clearly.

25  Again he put his hands over his eyes, and he was restored, and saw everything clearly.

26  Then He sent him away to his house, saying, "Neither go into the village, nor tell anyone in the village."

26  And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village.

26  And he sent him to his house, saying, “Go into your own house, and if you enter into the town, tell no one.”

27  Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He was questioning His disciples, saying to them, "Who do men pronounce Me to be?"

27  And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

28  So they answered, "John the Baptist; and others [say], Elijah; but others, one of the prophets."

28  And they answered him by saying: “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others perhaps one of the prophets.”

29  He said to them, "But who do you pronounce Me to be?"Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ."

29  And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

29  Jesus said to them, But you, who do you say I am? Simon Peter answered and said to him, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

30  Then He warned them that they should tell no one about Him.

30  And he admonished them, not to tell anyone about him.

31  And He began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise.

31  Then he began to teach them, that the Son of man will have to suffer a great deal, and be rejected by the elders, and the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise again on the third day.

32  He was speaking this word with boldness. And Peter, taking Him aside, began to rebuke Him.

32  And he spake the saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

33  But when He had turned and saw His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."

34  And having summoned the crowd together with His disciples, He said to them, "Whoever is willing to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

34  And calling together the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone chooses to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

34  And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

35  For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's, will save it.

35  For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel`s shall save it.

35  For whoever will have chosen to save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life, for my sake and for the Gospel, shall save it.

36  For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul?

36  For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, and yet causes harm to his soul?

36  For how could a man be benefited, if he should gain the whole world and lose his life?

37  Or what shall a man give [as] an equivalent for his soul?

37  For what should a man give in exchange for his life?

38  For whosoever is ashamed of Me and My words among this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him, whenever He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

38  Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
