給四千人吃飽

那時,又有許多人聚集,並沒有什麼吃的。耶穌叫門徒來,說: 「我憐憫這眾人,因為他們同我在這裡已經三天,也沒有吃的了。 我若打發他們餓著回家,就必在路上困乏,因為其中有從遠處來的。」 門徒回答說:「在這野地,從哪裡能得餅叫這些人吃飽呢?」 耶穌問他們說:「你們有多少餅?」他們說:「七個。」 他吩咐眾人坐在地上,就拿著這七個餅祝謝了,掰開,遞給門徒,叫他們擺開,門徒就擺在眾人面前。 又有幾條小魚,耶穌祝了福,就吩咐也擺在眾人面前。 眾人都吃,並且吃飽了,收拾剩下的零碎,有七筐子。 人數約有四千。耶穌打發他們走了, 10 隨即同門徒上船,來到大瑪努他境內。

求主顯神蹟

11 法利賽人出來盤問耶穌,求他從天上顯個神蹟給他們看,想要試探他。 12 耶穌心裡深深地嘆息說:「這世代為什麼求神蹟呢?我實在告訴你們:沒有神蹟給這世代看!」 13 他就離開他們,又上船往海那邊去了。

防備法利賽人和希律的酵

14 門徒忘了帶餅,在船上除了一個餅,沒有別的食物。 15 耶穌囑咐他們說:「你們要謹慎,防備法利賽人的酵和希律的酵。」 16 他們彼此議論說:「這是因為我們沒有餅吧?」 17 耶穌看出來,就說:「你們為什麼因為沒有餅就議論呢?你們還不醒悟,還不明白嗎?你們的心還是愚頑嗎? 18 你們有眼睛看不見嗎?有耳朵聽不見嗎?也不記得嗎? 19 我掰開那五個餅分給五千人,你們收拾的零碎裝滿了多少籃子呢?」他們說:「十二個。」 20 「又掰開那七個餅分給四千人,你們收拾的零碎裝滿了多少筐子呢?」他們說:「七個。」 21 耶穌說:「你們還是不明白嗎?」

吐唾沫治好瞎子

22 他們來到伯賽大,有人帶一個瞎子來,求耶穌摸他。 23 耶穌拉著瞎子的手,領他到村外,就吐唾沫在他眼睛上,按手在他身上,問他說:「你看見什麼了?」 24 他就抬頭一看,說:「我看見人了,他們好像樹木,並且行走。」 25 隨後又按手在他眼睛上,他定睛一看,就復了原,樣樣都看得清楚了。 26 耶穌打發他回家,說:「連這村子你也不要進去。」

認耶穌為基督

27 耶穌和門徒出去,往愷撒利亞-腓立比的村莊去。在路上問門徒說:「人說我是誰?」 28 他們說:「有人說是施洗的約翰,有人說是以利亞,又有人說是先知裡的一位。」 29 又問他們說:「你們說我是誰?」彼得回答說:「你是基督。」

預言受難復活降臨

30 耶穌就禁戒他們,不要告訴人。 31 從此,他教訓他們說:「人子必須受許多的苦,被長老、祭司長和文士棄絕,並且被殺,過三天復活。」 32 耶穌明明地說這話,彼得就拉著他,勸他。 33 耶穌轉過來,看著門徒,就責備彼得,說:撒旦,退我後邊去吧!因為你不體貼神的意思,只體貼人的意思。」

當背十架跟從主

34 於是叫眾人和門徒來,對他們說:「若有人要跟從我,就當捨己,背起他的十字架來跟從我。 35 因為凡要救自己生命[a]的,必喪掉生命;凡為我和福音喪掉生命的,必救了生命。 36 人就是賺得全世界,賠上自己的生命,有什麼益處呢? 37 人還能拿什麼換生命呢? 38 凡在這淫亂罪惡的世代,把我和我的道當做可恥的,人子在他父的榮耀裡同聖天使降臨的時候,也要把那人當做可恥的。」

Feeding the Four Thousand(A)

In those days, (B)the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them, “I have (C)compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.”

Then His disciples answered Him, “How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?”

(D)He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”

And they said, “Seven.”

So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. They also had a few small fish; and (E)having blessed them, He said to set them also before them. So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments. Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away, 10 (F)immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.

The Pharisees Seek a Sign(G)

11 (H)Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. 12 But He (I)sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, (J)no sign shall be given to this generation.”

Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod(K)

13 And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side. 14 (L)Now [a]the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat. 15 (M)Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the [b]leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”

17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? (N)Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart [c]still hardened? 18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 (O)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 “Also, (P)when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?”

And they said, “Seven.”

21 So He said to them, “How is it (Q)you do not understand?”

A Blind Man Healed at Bethsaida

22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a (R)blind man to Him, and begged Him to (S)touch him. 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when (T)He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”

25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, [d]“Neither go into the town, (U)nor tell anyone in the town.”

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ(V)

27 (W)Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?”

28 So they answered, (X)“John the Baptist; but some say, (Y)Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”

29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”

Peter answered and said to Him, (Z)“You are the Christ.”

30 (AA)Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him.

Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(AB)

31 And (AC)He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be (AD)rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be (AE)killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He (AF)rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not [e]mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(AG)

34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, (AH)“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For (AI)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 (AJ)For whoever (AK)is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand

(A)In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, (B)“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.” And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?” And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, (C)“Seven.” And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and (D)having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd. And they had a few small fish. And (E)having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them. And (F)they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, (G)seven baskets full. And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away. 10 And immediately he got into (H)the boat with his disciples and went to the district of (I)Dalmanutha.[a]

The Pharisees Demand a Sign

11 (J)The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, (K)seeking from him (L)a sign from heaven (M)to test him. 12 And (N)he sighed deeply (O)in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And (P)he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod

14 Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; (Q)beware of (R)the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of (S)Herod.”[b] 16 And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. 17 And (T)Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? (U)Do you not yet perceive (V)or understand? (W)Are your hearts hardened? 18 (X)Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke (Y)the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And (Z)the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21 And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida

22 And they came (AA)to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. 23 And (AB)he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when (AC)he had (AD)spit on his eyes and (AE)laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” 25 Then Jesus[c] laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 And he sent him to his home, saying, (AF)“Do not even enter the village.”

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ

27 (AG)And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 And they told him, (AH)“John the Baptist; and others say, (AI)Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, (AJ)“You are (AK)the Christ.” 30 (AL)And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.

Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection

31 (AM)And he began to teach them that (AN)the Son of Man must (AO)suffer many things and (AP)be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and (AQ)after three days rise again. 32 And he said this (AR)plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, (AS)“Get behind me, Satan! For you (AT)are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him (AU)deny himself and (AV)take up his cross and follow me. 35 For (AW)whoever would save his life[d] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake (AX)and the gospel's will save it. 36 (AY)For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For (AZ)what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For (BA)whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this (BB)adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed (BC)when he comes in the glory of his Father with (BD)the holy angels.”
