1 I n those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,

In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,

2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat:

`I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;

3 a nd if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them are come from far.

and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'

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

And his disciples answered him, `Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?'

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

And he was questioning them, `How many loaves have ye?' and they said, `Seven.'

6 A nd 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.

And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before; and they did set before the multitude.

7 A nd they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them.

And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before;

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

and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces -- seven baskets;

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

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

and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,

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

and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;

12 A nd he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, `Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.'

13 A nd he left them, and again entering into the boat departed to the other side.

And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

14 A nd they forgot to take bread; and they had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.

and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,

15 A nd he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'

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

and they were reasoning with one another, saying -- `Because we have no loaves.'

17 A nd 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?

And Jesus having known, saith to them, `Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?

18 H aving eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?

19 W hen I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' they say to him, `Twelve.'

20 A nd when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up? And they say unto him, Seven.

`And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, `Seven.'

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

And he said to them, `How do ye not understand?'

22 A nd they come unto Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.

And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,

23 A nd he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught?

and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:

24 A nd he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold them as trees, walking.

and he, having looked up, said, `I behold men, as I see trees, walking.'

25 T hen again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly.

Afterwards again he put hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,

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

and he sent him away to his house, saying, `Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell to any in the village.'

27 A nd 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?

And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Cesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, `Who do men say me to be?'

28 A nd they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

And they answered, `John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.'

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

And he saith to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, `Thou art the Christ.'

30 A nd he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,

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

and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,

33 B ut he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.

and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, `Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'

34 A nd he called unto him the multitude with his disciples, and said unto them, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me -- let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;

35 F or whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.

for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;

36 F or what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?

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

Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

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

for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'
