12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
12 Now the day (e)was ending, and the twelve came and said to Him, “Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get (f)something to eat; for here we are in a desolate place.”
12 Late in the day,(d)(P) the Twelve approached and said to Him, “Send the crowd away,(Q) so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find food and lodging, because we are in a deserted place here.”
12 As the day was drawing to a close, the Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away to the neighboring villages and farms so they can rest and get some food, because we are here in a deserted place."
13 But Jesus said: "It is for you to give them something to eat." "We have not more than five loaves and two fishes," they answered; "unless indeed we are to go and buy food for all these people."
13 But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
13 But He said to them, “You give them something to eat!” And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and buy food for all these people.”
13 “You give them something to eat,” He told them.“We have no more than five loaves(R) and two fish,” they said, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”
13 But he told them, "You give them something to eat." They replied, "We have nothing more than five loaves of bread and two fish unless we go and buy food for all these people."
14 (For the men among them were about five thousand.) "Get them seated in companies," was his reply, "about fifty in each."
14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
14 (For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, “Have them (g)sit down to eat (O)in groups of about fifty each.”
14 (For about 5,000 men were there.)Then He told His disciples, “Have them sit down(e) in groups of about 50 each.”
14 Now there were about 5,000 men. So he told his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about 50."

17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
17 And they all ate and were satisfied; and (j)the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve (P)baskets full.
17 All of them ate and were filled. When they collected the leftover pieces, there were twelve baskets.
Peter's Confession
18 Afterwards, when Jesus was alone, praying, his disciples joined him, and he asked them this question-- "Who do the people say that I am?"
18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?

18 While He was praying in private(U) and His disciples were with Him, He asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
18 One day, while Jesus was praying privately and the disciples were with him, he asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?"
19 "John the Baptist," was their answer; "others, however, say that you are Elijah, while others say that one of the old Prophets has risen again."
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
19 They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again.”
19 They answered, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, that one of the ancient prophets has come back.”(g)(V)
19 They answered, "Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, and still others one of the ancient prophets who has come back to life."
20 "But you," he went on, "who do you say that I am?" And to this Peter answered: "The Christ of God."
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
20 And He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “(S)The (l)Christ of God.”

24 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake, loses his life--that man shall save it.
24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
24 For (X)whoever wishes to save his (n)life will lose it, but whoever loses his (o)life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.
24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it.(AG)
24 because whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.
26 Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him, when he comes in his Glory and the Glory of the father and of the holy angels.
26 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels.

27 Indeed, I tell you, some who are standing before me will not know death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God."
27 But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.
27 But I say to you truthfully, (AA)there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.”
27 I tell you the truth: There are some standing here who will not taste death(AL) until they see the kingdom of God.”(AM)

48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
48 and said to them, “(AW)Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; (AX)for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.”
