1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

1 In(A) those days there was again a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat. He summoned(B) the disciples(C) and said to them,
1 At that time, after a large crowd again had gathered together with nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples and told them,
2 'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
2 “(B)I feel compassion for the (a)people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat.
2 “I have compassion(D) on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
2 "I have compassion for the crowd, because they've already been with me for three days and have nothing to eat.
3 and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'
3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
3 If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance.”
3 If I send them home hungry,(a) they will collapse on the way,(E) and some of them have come a long distance.”
3 If I send them away to their homes hungry, they'll faint on the road. Some of them have come a long distance."
4 And his disciples answered him, 'Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?'
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
4 And His disciples answered Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough (b)bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?”
4 His disciples answered Him, “Where can anyone get enough bread here in this desolate place to fill(F) these people?”
4 His disciples answered him, "Where could anyone get enough bread to feed these people out here in the wilderness?"
5 And he was questioning them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven.'
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
5 And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”

6 And 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.
6 And He *directed the (c)people to (d)sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to (e)serve to them, and they served them to the (f)people.
6 Then He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks, broke(G) the loaves, and kept on giving them to His disciples to set before the people. So they served the loaves to the crowd.
6 So he ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks. He broke them in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples to distribute. So they served them to the crowd.
7 And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before them;

10 and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,
10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
10 And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of (E)Dalmanutha.
10 Then he told them, "I tell all of you with certainty, some people standing here will not experience death until they see the kingdom of God arrive with power."
Pharisees Demand A Sign
11 and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;
11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
11 (F)The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, (G)seeking from Him a (h)sign from heaven, (i)to test Him.
11 The(H) Pharisees(I) came out and began to argue with Him, demanding of Him a sign(J) from heaven(K) to test(L) Him.
11 Immediately he got into a boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
12 and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, 'Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.'
12 And 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.
12 (H)Sighing deeply (j)in His spirit, He *said, “Why does this generation seek for a (k)sign? Truly I say to you, (l)(I)no (m)sign will be given to this generation.”
12 But sighing deeply in His spirit,(M) He said, “Why does this generation(N) demand a sign? I assure you:(O) No sign will be given to this generation!”
12 The Pharisees arrived and began arguing with Jesus. They tested him by demanding from him a sign from heaven.
13 And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;
13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
13 Leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.
13 Then He left them, got on board the boat again, and went to the other side.
13 He sighed deeply in his spirit and remarked, "Why do those living today demand a sign? I tell all of you with certainty, no sign will be given to this generation."
Beware The Leaven Of The Pharisees And Herod
14 and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
14 They had forgotten to take bread and had only one loaf with them in the boat.
14 Leaving them, he got into a boat again and crossed to the other side.
15 and he was charging them, saying, 'Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
15 And He was giving orders to them, saying, “(J)Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of (K)Herod.”
15 Then(P) He commanded them: “Watch out! Beware of the yeast(Q) of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”(R)
15 Now the disciples had forgotten to take any bread along, but they had one loaf with them in the boat.
16 and they were reasoning with one another, saying -- 'Because we have no loaves.'
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
16 They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.
16 They were discussing among themselves that they did not have any bread.
16 Jesus had been warning them, "Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!"
17 And Jesus having known, saith to them, 'Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?
17 And 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?
17 And Jesus, aware of this, *said to them, “Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? (L)Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a (n)hardened heart?
17 Aware of this, He said to them, “Why are you discussing that you do not have any bread? Don’t you understand or comprehend? Is your heart hardened?(S)
17 So they were discussing with one another the fact that they didn't have any bread.
18 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
18 Do you have eyes, and not see, and do you have ears, and not hear?(T)(c) And do you not remember?(U)
18 Knowing this, Jesus asked them, "Why are you discussing the fact that you don't have any bread? Don't you understand or perceive yet? Are your hearts hardened?
19 When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' they say to him, 'Twelve.'
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
19 when I broke (N)the five loaves for the five thousand, how many (O)baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?” They *said to Him, “Twelve.”
19 When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets full of pieces of bread did you collect?”“Twelve,” they told Him.
19 Do you have eyes, but fail to see? Do you have ears, but fail to hear? Don't you remember?
20 'And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, 'Seven.'
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

22 And they *came to (S)Bethsaida. And they *brought a blind man to Jesus and *implored Him to (T)touch him.
22 Then he asked them, "Don't you understand yet?"
23 and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put his hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:
23 And 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.

26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
26 Then Jesus placed his hands on the man's eyes again, and he saw clearly. His sight was restored, and he saw everything perfectly, even from a distance.

38 for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'
38 Whosoever 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.
38 For (AJ)whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, (AK)the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He (AL)comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
38 For whoever is ashamed(BH) of Me and of My words(BI) in this adulterous and sinful(BJ) generation,(BK) the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory(BL) of His Father(BM) with the holy(BN) angels.”(BO)
