1 In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself and said to them, 2 "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way."
4 His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
5 He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?"
They said, "Seven."
6 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude. 7 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also. 8 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over. 9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha. 11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him. 12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."
13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side. 14 They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them. 15 He warned them, saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."
16 They reasoned with one another, saying, "It’s because we have no bread."
17 Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened? 18 Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?"
They told him, "Twelve."
20 "When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?"
They told him, "Seven."
21 He asked them, "Don’t you understand yet?"
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
24 He looked up, and said, "I see men, but I see them like walking trees."
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly. 26 He sent him away to his house, saying, "Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village."
27 Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"
28 They told him, "John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets."
29 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Peter answered, "You are the Christ."
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him. 31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him. 33 But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men."
34 He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life? 38 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels."
1 那些日子, 又有一大群人聚集, 他们没有什么东西吃。耶稣叫门徒来, 对他们说:
2 "我怜悯这一群人, 因为他们和我在一起已经有三天, 没有什么吃的了。
3 如果我叫他们散开, 饿着肚子回家去, 他们会在路上晕倒, 因为有人是从很远的地方来的。"
4 门徒回答: "在这旷野地方, 从哪里能找食物叫这些人吃饱呢?"
5 他问他们: "你们有多少饼?"他们说: "七个。"
6 耶稣吩咐群众坐在地上; 拿起那七个饼, 祝谢了, 擘开递给门徒, 叫他们摆开; 门徒就摆在众人面前,
7 他们还有几条小鱼, 耶稣祝了福, 就吩咐把这些也摆开。
8 众人都吃了, 并吃饱了。他们把剩下的零碎收拾起来, 装满了七个大篮子。
9 当时人数约有四千。耶稣解散了群众,
10 就立刻和门徒上了船, 来到大玛努他地区。
11 法利赛人出来, 跟耶稣辩论; 他们想试探他, 求他显个从天上来的神迹。
12 耶稣灵里深深地叹息, 说: "这世代为什么总是寻求神迹?我实在告诉你们, 决不会有神迹显给这个世代的! "
13 于是他离开他们, 又上船往对岸去了。
14 门徒忘了带饼, 船上除了一个饼, 身边没有别的了。
15 耶稣嘱咐他们说: "你们要小心, 提防法利赛人的酵和希律的酵! "
16 门徒彼此议论说: "这是因为我们没有饼吧?"
17 耶稣知道了, 就说: "为什么议论没有饼这件事呢?你们还不知道, 还不明白吗?你们的心还是这么迟钝吗?
18 你们有眼不能看, 有耳不能听吗?你们不记得吗?
19 我擘开那五个饼给五千人吃, 你们收拾的零碎装满了几个篮子呢?"他们说: "十二个。"
20 "那七个饼分给四千人吃, 你们收拾的零碎装满了几个大篮子呢?"他们说: "七个。"
21 耶稣说: "你们还不明白吗?"
22 后来他们到了伯赛大, 有人带了一个瞎眼的人到他跟前, 求耶稣摸他。
23 耶稣拉着他的手, 领他到村外, 吐唾沫在他的眼睛上, 又用双手按在他的身上, 问他: "你看见什么没有?"
24 他往上一看, 说: "我看见人了! 看见他们好像树走来走去。"
25 于是耶稣再按手在他的眼睛上, 他定睛一看, 就复原了, 样样都看得清楚了。
26 耶稣叫他回家去, 说: "连这村子你也不要进去。"
27 耶稣和门徒出去, 要到该撒利亚.腓立比附近的村庄。在路上他问门徒说: "人说我是谁?"
28 他们回答: "有人说是施洗的约翰; 有人说是以利亚; 还有人说是先知里的一位。"
29 他又问他们说: "那么你们呢?你们说我是谁?"彼得回答: "你就是基督。"
30 耶稣郑重地嘱咐他们, 不要把他的事告诉人。
31 于是他教导他们, 人子必须受许多苦, 被长老、祭司长和经学家弃绝、杀害, 三天后复活。
32 耶稣坦白地说了这话, 彼得就把他拉到一边, 责怪他。
33 耶稣转过身来, 望着门徒, 斥责彼得说: "撒但, 退到我后面去! 因为你不思念 神的事, 只思念人的事。"
34 于是把众人和门徒都叫过来, 对他们说: "如果有人愿意跟从我, 就应当舍己, 背起他的十字架来跟从我。
35 凡是想救自己生命的, 必丧掉生命; 但为我和福音牺牲生命的, 必救了生命。
36 人就是赚得全世界, 却赔上自己的生命, 有什么好处呢?
37 人还能用什么换回自己的生命呢?
38 在淫乱罪恶的世代, 凡把我和我的道当作可耻的, 人子在他父的荣耀里, 和圣天使一起降临的时候, 也必把他当作可耻的。"
