8In those days there was again a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat. He summoned the disciples and said to them,G1722G1565G2250G3793G5607G3827G2532G2192G3361G5101G5315G2424G4341G846G3101G3004G8462"I have compassion on the crowd, because they've already stayed with Me three days and have nothing to eat.G4697G1909G3793G3754G4357G2235G4357G3427G5140G2250G2532G2192G3756G5101G53153If I send them home famished, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a long distance."G2532G1437G630G846G630G3523G1519G846G3624G1590G1722G3598G1063G5100G846G2240G31134His disciples answered Him, "Where can anyone get enough bread here in this desolate place to fill these people?"G2532G846G3101G611G846G4159G1410G5100G5526G5128G740G5602G1909G20475"How many loaves do you have?" He asked them. "Seven," they said.G2532G1905G846G4214G740G2192G1161G2036G20336Then He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks, broke the [loaves], and kept on giving [them] to His disciples to set before [the people]. So they served the [loaves] to the crowd.G2532G3853G3793G377G1909G1093G2532G2983G2033G740G2168G2806G2532G1325G846G3101G2443G3908G2532G3908G37937They also had a few small fish, and when He had blessed them, He said these were to be served as well.G2532G2192G3641G2485G2532G2127G2036G3908G846G2532G39088They ate and were filled. Then they collected seven large baskets of leftover pieces.G1161G5315G2532G5526G2532G142G2801G4051G2033G47119About 4,000 [men] were there. He dismissed themG1161G5315G2258G5613G5070G2532G630G846G63010and immediately got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.G2532G2112G1684G1519G4143G3326G846G3101G2064G1519G3313G114811The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, demanding of Him a sign from heaven to test Him.G2532G5330G1831G2532G756G4802G846G2212G3844G846G4592G575G3772G3985G84612But sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this generation demand a sign? I assure you: No sign will be given to this generation!"G2532G389G846G4151G3004G5101G1934G3778G1074G1934G4592G281G3004G5213G1487G4592G1325G5026G107413Then He left them, got on board [the boat] again, and went to the other side.G2532G863G846G1684G1519G4143G3825G565G1519G400814They had forgotten to take bread and had only one loaf with them in the boat.G2532G1950G2983G740G2532G3756G2192G1722G4143G3326G1438G1508G1520G74015Then he commanded them: "Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."G2532G1291G846G3004G3708G991G575G2219G5330G2532G2219G226416They were discussing among themselves that they did not have any bread.G2532G1260G4314G240G3004G3754G2192G3756G74017Aware of this, He said to them, "Why are you discussing that you do not have any bread? Do you not yet understand or comprehend? Is your heart hardened?G2532G2424G1097G3004G846G5101G1260G3754G2192G3756G740G3539G3768G3761G4920G2192G5216G2588G2089G445618Do you have eyes, and not see, and do you have ears, and not hear? And do you not remember?G2192G3788G991G3756G2532G2192G3775G191G3756G2532G3421G3756G342119When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets full of pieces of bread did you collect?" "Twelve," they told Him.G3753G2806G4002G740G1519G4000G4214G2894G4134G2801G142G3004G846G142720"When I broke the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many large baskets full of pieces of bread did you collect?" "Seven," they said.G1161G3753G2033G1519G5070G4214G4711G4138G2801G142G1161G2036G203321And He said to them, "Don't you understand yet?"G2532G3004G846G4459G4920G3756G492022Then they came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.G2532G2064G1519G966G2532G5342G5185G846G2532G3870G846G2443G680G84623He took the blind man by the hand and brought him out of the village. Spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?"G2532G1949G5185G5495G1806G846G1854G2968G2532G4429G1519G846G3659G2007G5495G846G1905G846G1536G991G153624He looked up and said, "I see people— they look to me like trees walking."G2532G308G3004G3754G991G444G5613G3708G1186G404325Again Jesus placed His hands on the man's eyes, and he saw distinctly. He was cured and could see everything clearly.G1534G2007G5495G3825G1909G846G3788G2532G4160G846G308G2532G600G2532G1689G537G508126Then He sent him home, saying, "Don't even go into the village."G2532G649G846G649G1519G846G3624G3004G3366G1525G1519G2968G3366G2036G5100G1722G296827Jesus went out with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road He asked His disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"G2532G2424G1831G2532G846G3101G1519G2968G2542G5376G2532G1722G3598G1905G846G3101G3004G846G5101G3004G444G3004G3165G151128They answered Him, "John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets."G1161G611G2491G910G1161G243G2243G2532G243G1520G439629"But you," He asked them again, "who do you say that I am?" Peter answered Him, "You are the Messiah!"G2532G846G3004G846G1161G5101G3004G5210G3165G1511G1161G4074G611G3004G846G4771G1488G554730And He strictly warned them to tell no one about Him.G2532G2008G846G2443G3004G3367G4012G84631Then 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, be killed, and rise after three days.G2532G756G1321G846G3754G5207G444G1163G3958G4183G2532G593G575G4245G2532G749G2532G1122G2532G615G2532G3326G5140G2250G45032He was openly talking about this. So Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.G2532G2980G3056G3954G2532G4074G4355G846G756G2008G84633But turning around and looking at His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, "Get behind Me, Satan, because you're not thinking about God's concerns, but man's!"G1161G1994G2532G1492G846G3101G2008G4074G3004G5217G3694G3450G4567G3754G5426G3756G2316G235G44434Summoning the crowd along with His disciples, He said to them, "If anyone wants to be My follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.G2532G4341G3793G4862G846G3101G2036G846G3748G2309G2064G3694G3450G533G1438G2532G142G846G4716G2532G190G342735For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me and the gospel will save it.G1063G3739G302G2309G4982G846G5590G622G846G1161G3739G302G622G846G5590G1752G1700G2532G2098G3778G4982G84636For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his life?G1063G5101G5623G444G1437G2770G3650G2889G2532G2210G846G559037What can a man give in exchange for his life?G2228G5101G1325G444G1325G465G846G559038For 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."G3739G302G1063G1870G3165G2532G1699G3056G1722G5026G3428G2532G268G1074G846G2532G1870G5207G444G1870G3752G2064G1722G1391G846G3962G3326G40G32
