16
And they argued among themselves, saying,
It is because we have no bread.
17
And as Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why argue ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not consider nor understand? is your heart yet blind?
18
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19
When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They said unto him, Twelve.
20
And when the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not yet understand?
22
And he came to Bethsaida, and they bring a blind man unto him and beseech him to touch him.
23
So, taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town; and spitting into his eyes and putting his hands upon
them, he asked him if he saw anything.
24
And looking, he said, I see men; I see that they walk as trees.
25
After that, he put
his hands again upon his eyes and caused him to see; and he was whole and saw everyone, far away and clearly.
26
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell
it to any in the town.
27
And Jesus and his disciples went out into the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?
28
And they answered, John the Baptist; but some
say, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
29
Then he said unto them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answered and said unto him, Thou art the Christ!
30
And he commanded them that they should tell no one of
this regarding him.
31
And he began to teach them that it was convenient that the Son of man must suffer many things and be rejected of the elders and
of the princes of the priests and of the scribes, and be killed and after three days rise again.
32
And he spoke this word clearly. Then Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
33
And he, turning about and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get thyself from me, Satan, for thou knowest not the things that are of God, but the things that
are of men.
34
And calling the multitude
unto him with his disciples, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his
cross {Gr. stauros – stake} and follow me.
35
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.
36
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
37
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
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 comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
