1 In those the days, very great crowd being, and not having any thing they could eat, having called the disciples of himself he says to them:
2 I have pity on the crowd; because now days three, they continue with me and not they have any thing they can eat.
3 And if I dismiss them fasting into house of themselves, they will faint on the way; come for of them a great distance have come.
4 And answered to him the disciples of him: Whence these will be able any one here to satisfy of loaves in a desert place?
5 And he asked them: How many have you loaves? They and say: Seven.
6 And he gave orders to the crowd to recline upon the ground; and taking the seven loaves, giving thanks he broke, and gave to the disciples of himself, that they might set before; and they set before the crowd.
7 And they had small fishes a few; and giving praise, he said: Place before also them.
8 They ate and, and were filled; and they took up over and above of fragments, seven large baskets.
9 Were and those having eaten, about four thousand; and he dismissed them.
10 And immediately entering into the ship with the disciples of himself, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 And came forth the Pharisees, and began to argue with him, seeking of him a sign from the heaven, tempting him.
12 And groaning deeply to the spirit; of himself, he says: Why the generation this a sign seeks? Indeed I say to you, if shall be given to the generation this a sign.
13 And leaving them, entering again into the ship, he departed to the other side.
14 And they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf not they had with themselves in the ship.
15 And he charged them saying: Look you, beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned with one another saying: Because loaves not we have.
17 And knowing the Jesus he says to them: Why reason you, because loaves not you have? Not yet perceive you, neither understand you? Yet having been stupified have you the heart of you?
18 Eyes having not see you? and ears having not hear you? and not remember you?
19 When the five loaves I broke to the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him: Twelve.
20 When and the seven to the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments took you up? They and said: Seven.
21 And he said to them: How is it not you understand?
22 And he comes to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man and beseech him, that him he would touch.
23 And having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him outside of the village; and having spit into the eyes of him, having placed the hands to him, he asked him, if any thing he sees.
24 And looking up he says: I see the men, like trees, walking.
25 Then again he placed the hands upon the eyes of him, and he made him look up and was restored, and he saw plainly every one.
26 And he sent him to house of him saying: Neither into the village mayest thou enter, nor mayest thou tell any one in the village.
27 And departed the Jesus and the disciples of him into the villages of Caesarea of the Philip. And on the way he asked the disciples of himself, saying to them: Who me they say the men to be?
28 They and answered: John the dipper; and others, Elias; others and, one of the prophets.
29 And he says to them: You but who me you say to be? Answering and the Peter says to him: Thou art the Anointed.
30 And he strictly charged them, that no one they should tell about him.
31 And he began to teach them, that must the son of the man many things to suffer, and to be rejected of the elders and of the highpriests and of the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to stand up;
32 and plainly the word he spoke. And taking aside him the Peter, he began to rebuke him.
33 He but turning round, and seeing the disciples of himself, he rebuked the Peter, saying: Go thou behind me, adversary; because not thou thinkest the things of the God, but the things of the men.
34 And having called the crowd with the disciples of himself, he said to them: Whoever wishes after me to follow, let him deny himself, and let him bear the cross of himself, and let him follow me.
35 Who for ever may wish the life of himself to save, shall loose her. Who but ever may lose the of himself life on account of me and of the glad tidings shall save her.
36 (What for will it profit a man, if he should win the world whole, and he should forfeit the life of himself?
37 or what shall give a man in exchange for the life of himself?)
38 Who for ever may be ashamed me and the my words in the generation this the adulterous and sinful, also the son of the man will be ashamed him, when he may come in the glory of the Father of himself with the messengers of the holy ones.
1 It was one of those days when there was a great crowd of people. They had nothing to eat so he called his disciples.
2 Jesus said: »I am concerned for these people because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 »If I send them away to their houses with no food they will be weak and faint. Some of them have a long way to go.«
4 His disciples answered, »How could we get enough bread in this desolate place?«
5 Jesus responded: »How much bread do you have?« They said: »Seven loaves.«
6 He made the people sit on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks. He gave the broken bread to his disciples and they served the people.
7 They had some small fish. After blessing them he had them serve the people in the same way.
8 After eating they picked up seven baskets full of food.
9 About four thousand ate. Then he sent them away.
10 Immediately he entered a boat and he and his disciples traveled to Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came to question him. They were testing him and seeking a sign from heaven.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said: »Why does this generation seek a sign? I tell you truly no sign will be given to this generation.«
13 He left them and boarded the boat and departed to the other side.
14 They forgot to take bread and they only had one loaf with them in the boat.
15 He ordered them to be aware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.
16 They reasoned with one another saying: »We have no bread.«
17 Hearing this Jesus said: »Why do you reason about having no bread? Do you not understand? Are your hearts dull of understanding?
18 »Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
19 »When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand how many baskets full of broken pieces did you up bring back?« They answered: »Twelve.«
20 And the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you bring back? And they told him: »Seven.«
21 He said: Do you not yet understand?
22 They arrived at Bethsaida. A blind man was brought to him with the request to touch him.
23 He held the blind mans hand and led him out of the village. Then he spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him. He asked him: »Do you see?«
24 He answered: »I see men. They look like trees walking.«
25 He laid his hands on his eyes again and his vision was fully restored, he saw everything clearly.
26 He sent him to his home saying: »Do not enter into the village.«
27 Jesus and his disciples went into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples: »Who do men say I am?«
28 They told him: »John the Baptist and others say Elijah. Some say you are one of the prophets.«
29 »Who do you say I am,« Jesus asked. They told him: »You are the Christ.«
30 He commanded them not to tell any man.
31 Then he taught them that the Son of man must suffer many things. The elders, chief priests, and the scribes will reject him. He will be killed and after three days he will rise from the dead.
32 Jesus spoke openly about this. Peter took him aside and rebuked him.
33 He turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter saying: »Get behind me Satan for you do not pay attention to the things of God. You tend to the things of men.«
34 He then spoke to both his disciples and the crowd. He said: »If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his stake and follow me.
35 »Whoever would save his life will lose it. Whoever would lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
36 »What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37 »What should a man give in exchange for his life?
38 »For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man will also be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.«
