1 In die dae toe daar 'n baie groot menigte was en hulle niks gehad het om te eet nie, het Jesus sy dissipels na Hom geroep en vir hulle gesê:
2 Ek voel innig jammer vir die skare, omdat hulle al drie dae by My bly en niks het om te eet nie.
3 En as Ek hulle honger huis toe stuur, sal hulle op die pad beswyk, want sommige van hulle kom van ver.
4 En sy dissipels antwoord Hom: Waarvandaan sal 'n mens hulle hier in die woestyn kan versadig met brood?
5 Toe vra Hy hulle: Hoeveel brode het julle? En hulle sê: Sewe.
6 En Hy gee aan die skare bevel om op die grond te gaan sit; daarop neem Hy die sewe brode, en nadat Hy gedank het, breek Hy dit en gee dit aan sy dissipels om dit voor te sit; en hulle sit dit aan die skare voor.
7 Hulle het ook 'n paar vissies gehad; en nadat Hy gedank het, sê Hy dat hulle dit ook moet voorsit.
8 En hulle het geëet en versadig geword en die oorskot van die brokstukke opgetel, sewe mandjies vol.
9 En die wat geëet het, was omtrent vier duisend. En Hy het hulle weggestuur.
10 En dadelik het Hy met sy dissipels in die skuit geklim en in die streke van Dalmanuta gekom.
11 En die Fariseërs het uitgegaan en met Hom begin redetwis en van Hom 'n teken uit die hemel gevra om Hom te versoek.
12 Toe sug Hy swaar in sy gees en sê: Waarom begeer hierdie geslag 'n teken? Voorwaar Ek sê vir julle, aan hierdie geslag sal sekerlik geen teken gegee word nie.
13 En Hy het hulle verlaat en weer in die skuit geklim en na die oorkant gegaan.
14 En hulle het vergeet om brode saam te neem, en het net een brood by hulle in die skuit gehad.
15 En Hy het hulle beveel en gesê: Pas op, wees op julle hoede vir die suurdeeg van die Fariseërs en die suurdeeg van Herodes.
16 Toe redeneer hulle onder mekaar en sê: Dit is omdat ons geen brode het nie.
17 En Jesus merk dit en sê vir hulle: Waarom redeneer julle dat julle geen brode het nie? Begryp julle nie en verstaan julle nie? Het julle nog jul verharde hart?
18 Het julle oë en sien julle nie? En het julle ore en hoor julle nie?
19 En onthou julle nie toe Ek die vyf brode vir die vyf duisend gebreek het, hoeveel mandjies vol brokstukke julle opgetel het nie? Hulle sê vir Hom: Twaalf.
20 En die sewe vir die vier duisend -- hoeveel mandjies vol brokstukke het julle opgetel? En hulle sê: Sewe.
21 Toe sê Hy vir hulle: Hoe verstaan julle dan nie!
22 En Hy het in Bets ida gekom, en hulle het 'n blinde man na Hom gebring en Hom gesmeek om hom aan te raak.
23 Hy neem toe die blinde by die hand en lei hom uit buitekant die dorp; en nadat Hy in sy oë gespuug en hom die hande opgelê het, vra Hy hom of hy iets sien.
24 En hy kyk op en sê: Ek sien die mense, want ek sien hulle soos bome rondloop.
25 Daarna lê Hy weer die hande op sy oë en laat hom opkyk, en hy is herstel en het almal van ver af duidelik gesien.
26 En Hy het hom na sy huis gestuur en gesê: Moenie in die dorp gaan of dit aan iemand in die dorp vertel nie.
27 En Jesus en sy dissipels het uitgegaan na die dorpe van Cesar,a-Fil¡ppi; en op die pad vra Hy sy dissipels en sê vir hulle: Wie sê die mense is Ek?
28 En hulle antwoord: Johannes die Doper, en ander: El¡a, en ander: Een van die profete.
29 En Hy sê vir hulle: Maar julle, wie sê julle is Ek? En Petrus antwoord en sê vir Hom: U is die Christus.
30 En Hy het hulle streng beveel om niemand van Hom te vertel nie.
31 Toe het Hy hulle begin leer dat die Seun van die mens baie moet ly en verwerp word deur die ouderlinge en owerpriesters en skrifgeleerdes en gedood word en n drie dae opstaan.
32 En hierdie woord het Hy ronduit gespreek. En Petrus het Hom opsy geneem en Hom begin bestraf.
33 Maar Hy het Hom omgedraai, en terwyl Hy sy dissipels aankyk, het Hy Petrus bestraf en gesê: Gaan weg agter My, Satan! Want jy bedink nie die dinge van God nie, maar die van die mense.
34 En toe Hy die skare saam met sy dissipels na Hom geroep het, sê Hy vir hulle: Wie agter My aan wil kom, moet homself verloën en sy kruis opneem en My volg.
35 Want elkeen wat sy lewe wil red, sal dit verloor; maar elkeen wat sy lewe om My ontwil en om die evangelie ontwil verloor, hy sal dit red.
36 Want wat sal dit 'n mens baat as hy die hele wêreld win en aan sy siel skade ly?
37 Of wat sal 'n mens gee as losprys vir sy siel?
38 Want elkeen wat hom vir My en my woorde skaam in hierdie owerspelige en sondige geslag, vir hom sal die Seun van die mens Hom ook skaam wanneer Hy kom in die heerlikheid van sy Vader met die heilige engele.
1 In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,
2 I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;
3 If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.
4 And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?
5 And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.
6 And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.
7 And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.
8 And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.
9 And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away.
10 And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came out and put questions to him, requesting from him a sign from heaven, testing him.
12 And he was very sad in spirit, and said, Why is this generation looking for a sign? truly, I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.
13 And he went away from them, and again got into the boat and went across to the other side.
14 And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.
15 And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.
16 And they said to one another, We have no bread.
17 And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory?
19 When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.
21 And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you?
22 And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and went with him out of the town; and when he had put water from his mouth on his eyes, and put his hands on him, he said, Do you see anything?
24 And looking up, he said, I see men; I see them like trees, walking.
25 Then again he put his hands on his eyes; and looking hard, he was able to see, and saw all things clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Do not even go into the town.
27 And Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the little towns round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he put a question to his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am?
28 And they made answer, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.
29 And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.
30 And he put them under orders not to say this of him to anyone.
31 And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.
32 And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting.
33 But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.
34 And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.
35 Whoever has a desire to keep his life, will have it taken from him; and whoever gives up his life because of me and the good news, will keep it.
36 What profit has a man if he gets all the world with the loss of his life?
37 And what would a man give in exchange for his life?
38 Whoever has a feeling of shame because of me and my words in this false and evil generation, the Son of man will have a feeling of shame because of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
