1 About|strong="G1722" that|strong="G3588" time|strong="G2250", when|strong="G2532" there|strong="G2532" was|strong="G1510" again|strong="G3825" a|strong="G2192" great|strong="G4183" crowd|strong="G3793" of|strong="G2250" people|strong="G3793" who|strong="G5101" had|strong="G2192" nothing|strong="G3361" to|strong="G2532" eat|strong="G2068", Jesus|strong="G3004" called|strong="G3004" his|strong="G1722" disciples|strong="G3101" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004",
2 ‘\+w My|strong="G1473"\+w* heart \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w moved|strong="G4697"\+w* \+w at|strong="G1909"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w sight|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2250"\+w* \+w all|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w these|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w people|strong="G3793"\+w*, \+w for|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w they|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w already|strong="G2235"\+w* \+w been|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w with|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w three|strong="G5140"\+w* \+w days|strong="G2250"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w they|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w nothing|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w eat|strong="G2068"\+w*;

4 ‘Where|strong="G4159" will|strong="G2532" it|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" possible|strong="G1410",’ his|strong="G1909" disciples|strong="G3101" answered, ‘to|strong="G2532" get|strong="G2532" sufficient bread for|strong="G3754" these|strong="G3778" people|strong="G3588" in|strong="G1909" this|strong="G3778" lonely place|strong="G2047"?’
5 ‘\+w How|strong="G4214"\+w* \+w many|strong="G4214"\+w* loaves \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3004"\+w*?’ he|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G2065". ‘Seven|strong="G2033",’ they|strong="G2532" answered|strong="G3004".
6 Jesus|strong="G2532" told the|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793" to|strong="G2443" sit down on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" ground|strong="G1093". Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" took|strong="G2983" the|strong="G2532" seven|strong="G2033" loaves, and|strong="G2532", after|strong="G1909" saying the|strong="G2532" thanksgiving, broke|strong="G2806" them|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" gave|strong="G1325" them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G2443" his|strong="G1909" disciples|strong="G3101" to|strong="G2443" serve|strong="G3908" out|strong="G2532"; and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" served|strong="G3908" them|strong="G3588" out|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2443" the|strong="G2532" crowd|strong="G3793".
7 They|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2192" also|strong="G2532" a|strong="G2192" few|strong="G3641" small|strong="G3641" fish|strong="G2485"; and|strong="G2532", after|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2192" said|strong="G3004" the|strong="G2532" blessing|strong="G2127", he|strong="G2532" told|strong="G3004" the|strong="G2532" disciples to|strong="G2532" serve|strong="G3908" out|strong="G2532" these|strong="G3004" as|strong="G2532" well|strong="G2532".
8 The|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2068" had|strong="G2532" sufficient to|strong="G2532" eat|strong="G2068", and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G2532" picked up|strong="G2532" seven|strong="G2033" baskets|strong="G4711" full|strong="G5526" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" broken|strong="G2801" pieces|strong="G2801" that|strong="G2532" were|strong="G2532" left|strong="G4051".
9 There|strong="G2532" were|strong="G1510" about|strong="G5613" four|strong="G5070" thousand|strong="G5070" people|strong="G1510". Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G1510" dismissed them|strong="G1438".
10 Immediately|strong="G2112" afterwards, getting|strong="G1684" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" boat|strong="G4143" with|strong="G3326" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101", Jesus|strong="G2532" went|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" district|strong="G3313" of|strong="G2532" Dalmanutha|strong="G1148".
11 Here the|strong="G2532" Pharisees|strong="G5330" came|strong="G1831" out|strong="G1831", and|strong="G2532" began to|strong="G2532" argue|strong="G4802" with|strong="G3844" Jesus|strong="G1831", asking|strong="G2212" him|strong="G3588" for|strong="G2212" some|strong="G3588" sign|strong="G4592" from|strong="G3844" the|strong="G2532" heavens|strong="G3772", to|strong="G2532" test|strong="G3985" him|strong="G3588".
12 Sighing deeply, Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w Why|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w does|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w this|strong="G3778"\+w* \+w generation|strong="G1074"\+w* \+w ask|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w for|strong="G2212"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w sign|strong="G4592"\+w*? \+w I|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w tell|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*, \+w no|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w sign|strong="G4592"\+w* \+w will|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w be|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w given|strong="G1325"\+w* \+w it|strong="G2532"\+w*.’
13 So|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" left them|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" themselves|strong="G1438", and|strong="G2532", getting|strong="G1684" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" boat again|strong="G3825", went|strong="G2532" away to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" opposite shore.
14 Now|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" disciples|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2192" forgotten|strong="G1950" to|strong="G2532" take|strong="G2983" any|strong="G1487" bread with|strong="G3326" them|strong="G3588", one|strong="G1520" loaf being|strong="G2532" all|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3588" they|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2192" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" boat|strong="G4143".
15 So|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G3004" gave|strong="G1291" them|strong="G3588" this|strong="G3588" warning. ‘\+w Take|strong="G2532"\+w* care,’ he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w beware|strong="G3708"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w leaven|strong="G2219"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Pharisees|strong="G5330"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w leaven|strong="G2219"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Herod|strong="G2264"\+w*.’
16 They|strong="G2532" began|strong="G2192" talking to|strong="G4314" one|strong="G2532" another about|strong="G4314" their|strong="G2532" being|strong="G2532" short of|strong="G2532" bread;
17 and|strong="G2532", noticing this|strong="G3588", Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588", ‘\+w Why|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w are|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w talking|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w about|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w being|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w short|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* bread? Don’\+w t|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w yet|strong="G2089"\+w* \+w see|strong="G1097"\+w* \+w or|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w understand|strong="G4920"\+w*? \+w Are|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w minds|strong="G2588"\+w* \+w still|strong="G2089"\+w* \+w so|strong="G2532"\+w* slow \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* comprehension?
18 \+w Though|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w eyes|strong="G3788"\+w*, \+w do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* see? \+w And|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w though|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w ears|strong="G3775"\+w*, \+w do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* hear? Don’t \+w you|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w remember|strong="G3421"\+w*,
19 \+w when|strong="G3753"\+w* \+w I|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w broke|strong="G2806"\+w* \+w up|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w five|strong="G4002"\+w* loaves \+w for|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w five|strong="G4002"\+w* \+w thousand|strong="G4000"\+w*, \+w how|strong="G4214"\+w* \+w many|strong="G4214"\+w* \+w baskets|strong="G2894"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w broken|strong="G2801"\+w* \+w pieces|strong="G2801"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3004"\+w* picked \+w up|strong="G1519"\+w*?’
20 ‘\+w And|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w when|strong="G3753"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w seven|strong="G2033"\+w* \+w for|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w four|strong="G5070"\+w* \+w thousand|strong="G5070"\+w*, \+w how|strong="G4214"\+w* \+w many|strong="G4214"\+w* basketfuls \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w broken|strong="G2801"\+w* \+w pieces|strong="G2801"\+w* \+w did|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G3004"\+w* pick \+w up|strong="G1519"\+w*?’
21 ‘Don’t \+w you|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w understand|strong="G4920"\+w* \+w now|strong="G2532"\+w*?’ he|strong="G2532" repeated.
22 They|strong="G2532" came|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" Bethsaida. There|strong="G2532" some people|strong="G3870" brought|strong="G5342" a|strong="G2532" blind|strong="G5185" man|strong="G5185" to|strong="G1519" Jesus|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" begged|strong="G3870" him|strong="G2532" to|strong="G1519" touch him|strong="G2532".
23 Taking|strong="G1949" the|strong="G2532" blind|strong="G5185" man|strong="G5100"’s hand|strong="G5495", Jesus|strong="G2532" led him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" outskirts of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" village|strong="G2968", and|strong="G2532", when|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" had|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2007" saliva on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" man|strong="G5100"’s eyes|strong="G3659", he|strong="G2532" placed|strong="G2007" his|strong="G2007" hands|strong="G5495" on|strong="G1519" him|strong="G3588", and|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G1905" him|strong="G3588", ‘\+w Do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G1487"\+w* see \+w anything|strong="G5100"\+w*?’
24 The|strong="G2532" man looked|strong="G3708" up|strong="G2532", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘I|strong="G2532" see|strong="G3708" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G3004", for|strong="G3754", as|strong="G5613" they|strong="G2532" walk|strong="G4043" about|strong="G5613", they|strong="G2532" look|strong="G3708" to|strong="G2532" me|strong="G3004" like|strong="G5613" trees|strong="G1186".’
25 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2532" again|strong="G3825" placed|strong="G2007" his|strong="G2007" hands|strong="G5495" on|strong="G1909" the|strong="G2532" man’s eyes|strong="G3788"; and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" man saw|strong="G1689" clearly|strong="G5081", his|strong="G2007" sight|strong="G3788" was|strong="G3588" restored, and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G1689" everything with|strong="G2532" perfect distinctness.
26 Jesus|strong="G3004" sent|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588" to|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" home|strong="G3624", and|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", ‘\+w Do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w go|strong="G1525"\+w* \+w even|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w into|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w village|strong="G2968"\+w*.’
27 Afterwards|strong="G1722" Jesus|strong="G2424" and|strong="G2532" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101" went|strong="G1831" into|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1722" villages|strong="G2968" round|strong="G2532" Caesarea|strong="G2542" Philippi|strong="G5376"; and|strong="G2532" on|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" way|strong="G3598" he|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G1905" his|strong="G1519" disciples|strong="G3101" this|strong="G3588" question|strong="G1905" – ‘\+w Who|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w do|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w people|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w say|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w*?’
28 ‘John|strong="G2491" the|strong="G2532" Baptist,’ they|strong="G2532" answered|strong="G3004", ‘but|strong="G1161" others|strong="G3588" say|strong="G3004" Elijah|strong="G2243", while|strong="G1161" others|strong="G3588" say|strong="G3004" one|strong="G1520" of|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" prophets|strong="G4396".’
29 ‘\+w But|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*,’ he|strong="G2532" asked|strong="G1905", ‘\+w who|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w do|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w say|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w that|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w*?’ To|strong="G2532" this|strong="G3588" Peter|strong="G4074" replied|strong="G3004", ‘You|strong="G5210" are|strong="G1510" the|strong="G2532" Christ|strong="G5547".’
30 At|strong="G4012" which|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G3004" charged|strong="G2008" them|strong="G3004" not|strong="G3367" to|strong="G2443" say|strong="G3004" this|strong="G2532" about|strong="G4012" him|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2443" anyone|strong="G3367".
31 Then|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" began to|strong="G2532" teach|strong="G1321" them|strong="G3588" that|strong="G3754" the|strong="G2532" Son|strong="G5207" of|strong="G5207" Man|strong="G5207" must|strong="G1163" undergo much|strong="G4183" suffering|strong="G3958", and|strong="G2532" that|strong="G3754" he|strong="G2532" must|strong="G1163" be|strong="G2532" rejected by|strong="G5259" the|strong="G2532" elders|strong="G4245", and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" chief|strong="G2532" priests, and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G2532" teachers of|strong="G5207" the|strong="G2532" Law, and|strong="G2532" be|strong="G2532" put|strong="G2532" to|strong="G2532" death, and|strong="G2532" rise|strong="G2250" again|strong="G2532" after|strong="G3326" three|strong="G5140" days|strong="G2250".
