1 In those days, there being note again a very great multitude,
and they having nothing to eat, Jesus called his
disciples to Him,
2 and saith unto them, I have compassion
on the multitude, for they have now been with me
three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 and if I send them
away fasting to their own home, they will faint by the
way; for some of them are come from far.
4 And his disciples
answered Him, From whence can note one satisfy these
people with note bread here in a desert?
5 And He asked them,
How many loaves have ye? and they said, Seven.
6 And He ordered the people to sit down upon the ground:
and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and brake
them, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and
they did set them before the multitude.
7 And they had
a few small fishes: and He blessed them, and bid them
set them also before the people.
8 And they did eat and
-- --
were satisfied: and they took up what were left, to
wit of fragments seven baskets:
9 and they that had
eaten were about four thousand. And then He dismissed
them.
10 And going directly on board a ship with his disciples,
He came into the parts of Dalmanutha:
11 and the pharirisees
came forth, and began to dispute with Him, desiring
of Him a sign from heaven, note tempting Him.
12 And He sighing deeply in his spirit, saith, Why doth
this generation require a sign? Verily I tell you, There
shall no sign be given to this generation. note
13 So He left
them, and went on board the ship again, and departed
to the other side.
14 And his disciples had forgot to take note bread, neither
had they any more than one loaf with them in the
ship.
15 And therefore as He was giving them a charge,
saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the pharisees,
and of the leaven of Herod,
16 they argued one with
another, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 And
Jesus knowing it saith unto them, What are ye reasoning
about? because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet
discern nor understand? have ye your heart still note hardened?
18 Have ye eyes, and do not see? and having ears,
hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 When I brake
the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets
full of fragments did ye take up? They note answer,
Twelve.
20 And when I divided the seven among four
thousand, note how many baskets full of fragments took ye
up? and they said, Seven.
21 And He said unto them,
How is it then that ye do not understand?
22 noteThen He cometh to Bethsaida, note where they
brought to Him a blind man, and begged of Him that
He would touch him.
23 And He took the blind man by
the hand, and led him out of the town; and having
spit on his eyes, He laid his hands upon him, and asked
him, If he saw any thing.
24 And he looked up, and
said, I see men (as it were trees) walking.
25 Then He
put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look
up: and he was restored to sight, and saw them all
plainly.
26 And He sent him away to his house, and
-- --
note said, Neither go into the town, nor tell any one in the
town.
27 noteThen Jesus and his disciples went out into the towns
of Cesarea Philippi: and note by the way He asked his disciples,
saying note, Whom do men say that I am?
28 And they
answered, Some say, John the baptist; and others, Elias;
note and others, One of the prophets.
29 And He saith unto
them, But whom say ye that I am? notePeter answered
and saith note, Thou art the Christ.
30 And He charged
them, that they should say note this to no one concerning
Him:
31 and began to note tell them, that the Son of man
must suffer note much; and be rejected by the elders, and
chief priests, and scribes; and be put to death: and after
three days rise again.
32 And this note He spake plainly and
openly. noteUpon which Peter note began to rebuke Him.
33 But He turned about and looking on his disciples note reproved
Peter, saying, Get thee behind me Satan; for
thou note savourest not the things of God, but the things
that be of men.
34 And calling the people note and his disciples to Him, He
said unto them, Whosoever is willing to come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow
me:
35 for he that would save his life, shall lose it; but
he that would lose his life for my sake and the gospel's,
note shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he
gain the whole world, and note lose his own soul?
37 or what
shall a man give as a ransom for his note soul?
38 for whosoever
shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this
note degenerate and sinful note age, of him will the Son of man
be also ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of his
Father, with the holy angels.
