And, calling near the multitude with his disciples, he said unto them - If anyone willeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me.

For, what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and be made to forfeit his life?

And forth went Jesus and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea of Philip. And, in the way, he was questioning his disciples, saying unto them - Who, are men saying that I am?

And he began to be teaching them - The Son of Man, must needs suffer many things, and be rejected by the Elders and the High-priests and the Scribes, - and be slain; and, after three days, arise.

Now they were about four thousand; and he dismissed them.

For, whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also, will be ashamed, of him, whensoever he shall come, in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.

And they come into Bethsaida. And they bring unto him one blind, and beseech him that him, he would touch.

And, straightway, entering into the boat with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha;

For, whosoever willeth, his own life, to save, shall lose it, but, whosoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad-message, shall save it;

In those days, there being, again a large multitude, and they not having any thing to eat, calling near the disciples, he saith unto them -

And, deeply sighing in his spirit, he saith - Why, doth this generation seek, a sign? Verily, I say - there shall, not be given, to this generation, a sign.

And they forgot to take loaves, and, save one loaf, they had nothing with them in the boat.

And they began deliberating one with another, because they had no loaves.

And he began charging them, saying - Mind! beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod!

And leaving them, again, embarking, he departed unto the other side.

Eyes having, see ye not? and ears having, hear ye not? and remember ye not

And, taking note, he saith unto them - Why do ye deliberate, because ye have no, loaves? Not yet perceive ye, neither understand, - keep ye your hearts, hardened?

and, looking up, he was saying - I see men, because, like trees, I behold them walking

When the seven, unto the four thousand, how many hampers, full measure, of broken pieces, ye took up? And they say unto him - Seven. And he was saying unto them -

when, the five loaves, I brake unto the five thousand, how many baskets, full of broken pieces, ye took up? They say unto him - Twelve, -

I am moved with compassion towards the multitude, because, already three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat;

And, laying hold of the hand of the blind man, he brought him forth outside the village, and, spitting into his eyes, laying his hands upon him, he was asking him - Anything, seest thou?

And they answered him, saying - John the Immerser, and, others, Elijah, - and, others, One of the prophets.

Not yet, do ye understand?

And they did eat, and were filled, and took up remainders of broken pieces, seven hampers.

and, if dismiss them fasting unto their home, they will be exhausted in the way, - and, certain of them, are, from afar.

And he sendeth word to the multitude, to fall back upon the ground. And, taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he brake, and was giving unto his disciples, that they might be setting before them; and they set before the multitude.

And they had a few small fishes; and, blessing them, he bade them set, these also, before them.

And he sent him away unto his house, saying - Not even into the village, mayest thou enter.

And his disciples answered him - Whence shall any one be able, here, to fill, these, with bread, in a desert?

Then again, put he his hands upon his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and was seeing distinctly, in broad splendour, all things together.

And he straitly charged them, that, no one, they should tell concerning him.

And he was questioning them - How many loaves have ye? and they said - Seven.

and forth came the Pharisees, and began discussing with him, seeking of him, a sign from the heaven, testing him.

And, he, went on to question them - But, who, say, ye, that I am? Peter, answering, saith unto him - Thou, art, the Christ.

But, he, turning round and looking upon his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith - Withdraw behind me, Satan! because thou art not regarding the things, of God, but the things, of men.

And, openly, was he speaking the word. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.

For what can a man, give, in exchange for his life?
