1 In those days again upon a great crowd being present and not having anything which they could eat, summoning His students He says to them:2 "I am deeply moved for the crowd, because already they have remained with Me for three days and they do not have anything which they may eat.3 And if I let them go away to their house fasting, they shall faint on the road, and some of them have come from afar!"4 And His students replied to Him that "From where is one able to feed so many bread here in a desert place?"5 And He asked them: "How many loaves do you have?" And they said "Seven."6 And He commands the crowd to recline upon the ground, and taking the seven loaves, giving thanks He broke and gave them to His students that they would serve, and they served to the crowd.7 And they had a few fish, and blessing them He said to serve those also.8 And they ate and were filled, and there were seven creels of excess fragments.9 And they were about four thousand, and He released them.10 And immediately boarding into a vessel with His students He came into the parts of Dalmanoutha.11 And the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking by Him a sign from heaven, trying Him.12 And bemoaning in His Spirit He says: "Why does this race seek a sign? Truly I say to you whether a sign shall be given to this race!"13 And leaving them, boarding again He departed for the other side.14 And they forgot to take bread, and except for one loaf they did not have it with them in the vessel.15 And He commanded them, saying: "Look! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herodas!"16 And they debated with one another because they do not have bread.17 And knowing it He says to them "Why do you debate because you do not have bread? Not yet do you perceive nor understand? Do you have hardening of your hearts?18 Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember,19 when the five loaves had been broken for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments you took?" They say to Him: "Twelve!"20 "When the seven for the four thousand, how many creels full of fragments you took?" And they say to Him: "Seven!"21 And He said to them: "How do you not understand?"22 And they come into Bethsaida. And they bring to Him a blind man and exhort Him in order that He would touch him.23 And taking the hand of the blind man He brought him outside of the town and having spat in his eyes, putting the hands upon him asked him if "Do you see anything?"24 And looking up he said "I see men, that as trees I see walking!"25 Then again He put the hands upon his eyes, and he stared and was restored and looked at all things clearly.26 And He sent him to his house, saying: "Now you should not enter into the town!"27 And Yahshua went out and His students into the town of Caesareia Philippos, and on the road He questioned His students, saying to them: "What do men say for Me to be?"28 And they spoke to Him saying that "Iohannes the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others that one of the prophets."29 And He asked them: "But what do you say for Me to be?" Responding Petros says to Him: "You are the Christ!"30 And He admonished them that they should speak to no one concerning Him.31 And He began to instruct them that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things and to be rejected by the elders and the high priests and the scribes and to be put to death and after three days to be resurrected.32 And He spoke the Word openly. And taking Him aside, Petros began to admonish Him.33 But He turning and seeing His students admonished Petros and says: "Go behind Me, adversary, because you do not mind the things of Yahweh, but the things of men!"34 And summoning the crowd with His students He said to them: "If one wishes to come behind Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me!35 For he who should desire to save his life shall lose it, and he who would lose his life because of Me and the good message shall save it!36 For what shall it benefit a man to gain the whole Society and for his life to be lost?37 For what could a man give in exchange for his life?38 For whoever should be ashamed of Me and My words among this adulterous and sinful race, also the Son of Man shall be ashamed of him, when he should come in the honor of His Father with the holy messengers!"
