1In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, 2I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: 3And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. 4And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? 5And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 6And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. 7And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. 8So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. 9And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10¶ And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 11And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. 12And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. 13And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14¶ Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. 15And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. 16And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. 17And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? 18Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? 19When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. 20And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. 21And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22¶ And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him. 23And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought. 24And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. 25After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly. 26And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27¶ And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? 28And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. 29And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. 30And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. 31And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 33But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34¶ And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 35For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it. 36For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 37Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 38Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
耶穌使四千人吃飽
1那時，又有一大群人聚在一起，他們沒有東西吃。耶穌就叫來門徒，說： 2「我憐憫這些人，他們跟我在一起已經三天，沒有任何吃的了。 3如果讓他們餓著肚子回家，他們在路上會體力不支，因為有些人是遠道而來的。」
4門徒說：「在這荒野，如何找到足夠的食物給這些人吃呢？」
5耶穌問：「你們有多少餅？」
門徒答道：「七個。」
6耶穌便吩咐大家坐在地上，然後拿著那七個餅祝謝了，掰開，遞給門徒，讓門徒分給大家，門徒就把餅分給大家。 7他們還有幾條小魚。耶穌祝謝了，叫門徒分給眾人。 8大家都吃了，並且吃飽了，剩下的零碎裝滿了七個筐子。 9吃的人約有四千。耶穌讓眾人回家後， 10隨即和門徒上船，來到大瑪努他地區。
11法利賽人出來盤問耶穌，要求祂從天上顯一個神蹟給他們看看，藉此試探祂。 12耶穌深深歎息道：「這世代的人為什麼總是要看神蹟呢？我實在告訴你們，沒有神蹟給這世代的人看。」 13然後，耶穌離開他們，乘船回對岸去了。
防備法利賽人和希律的酵
14門徒忘了帶餅，船上只有一個餅。 15耶穌警告他們：「你們要謹慎，要提防法利賽人和希律的酵！」
16他們彼此議論說：「老師這樣說，是不是因為我們沒有帶餅呢？」
17耶穌知道他們的心思，就說：「你們為什麼議論沒有帶餅的事呢？難道你們還不明白、不領悟嗎？你們的心還是愚頑嗎？ 18你們有眼不會看，有耳不會聽嗎？你們不記得嗎？ 19我掰開五個餅分給五千人吃的時候，你們撿了多少籃的零碎呢？」
門徒答道：「十二籃。」
20耶穌又說：「我用七個餅餵飽四千人的時候，你們撿了多少筐零碎呢？」
門徒答道：「七筐。」
21耶穌接著說：「你們還不明白嗎？」
治好伯賽大的瞎子
22他們到了伯賽大，有人帶來一個瞎子，求耶穌摸他。 23耶穌拉著瞎子的手帶他走到村外，吐唾沫在他的眼睛上，並把手按在他身上，問他：「你看見什麼了？」
24他抬頭看了看，說：「我看見人們好像一棵棵的樹，走來走去。」
25耶穌把手按在他的眼睛上，他定睛一看，便恢復了視力，什麼都看得清清楚楚。 26耶穌叫他回家，並對他說：「不要再進這個村子了。」
彼得宣告耶穌是基督
27耶穌和門徒前往凱撒利亞·腓立比境內的村莊。在路上，祂問門徒：「別人說我是誰？」
28他們說：「有人說你是施洗者約翰，有人說你是以利亞，有人說你是眾先知中的一位。」
29耶穌又問他們：「那麼，你們說我是誰？」
彼得回答說：「你是基督！」
30耶穌吩咐他們不要洩露祂的身分。
耶穌預言自己的受難和復活
31從此，耶穌便告訴他們，人子必須受許多苦，被長老、祭司長和律法教師棄絕，殺害，但必在三天之後復活。 32耶穌清楚地把這些事告訴了他們，彼得就把祂拉到一邊，勸阻祂。 33耶穌轉身看了看門徒，斥責彼得說：「撒旦，退到我後面去！因為你不考慮上帝的意思，只考慮人的意思。」
34祂叫眾人和門徒一起過來，對他們說：「如果有人要跟從我，就應當捨己，背起他的十字架跟從我。 35因為想救自己生命的，必失去生命；但為了我和福音而失去生命的，必得到生命。 36人就是賺得全世界，卻喪失自己的生命，又有什麼益處呢？ 37他還能用什麼換回生命呢？
38「在這淫亂、罪惡的世代，如果有人以我和我的道為恥，人子在父的榮耀中與聖天使再來的時候，也要以他為恥。」
