In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and saith unto them, (8:1)

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: (8:2)

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far (8:3)

And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness? (8:4)

And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven (8:5)

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 (8:6)

And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them] (8:7)

So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets (8:8)

And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away (8:9)

And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha (8:10)

And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. (8:11) 23 57

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. (8:12) 23 57 com2

And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side (8:13)

Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf (8:14)

And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod. (8:15) com3

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no bread. (8:16) 10

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? (8:17)

Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? (8:18) com5

When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve (8:19)

And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven (8:20)

And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand? (8:21)

And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him (8:22)

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 (8:23)

And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking (8:24)

After that he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly (8:25)

And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in the town (8:26)

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? (8:27)

And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elias; and others, One of the prophets (8:28)

And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ (8:29)

And he charged them that they should tell no man of him (8:30)

And 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 (8:31)

And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him (8:32)

But 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 (8:33)

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. (8:34) com6

For 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 (8:35)

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (8:36)

Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? (8:37)

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. (8:38) com7
