¹In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,4 sermons²I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:2 sermons³And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.2 sermons⁴And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?2 sermons⁵And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.3 sermons⁶And 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.4 sermons⁷And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.3 sermons⁸So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.3 sermons⁹And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.3 sermons¹⁰And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.3 sermons¹¹And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.3 sermons¹²And 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.5 sermons¹³And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.4 sermons¹⁴Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.4 sermons¹⁵And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.3 sermons¹⁶And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.4 sermons¹⁷And 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?4 sermons¹⁸Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?4 sermons¹⁹When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.4 sermons²⁰And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.3 sermons²¹And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?4 sermons²²And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.7 sermons²³And 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.6 sermons²⁴And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.2 sermons²⁵After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.2 sermons²⁶And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.2 sermons²⁷And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?4 sermons²⁸And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.3 sermons²⁹And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.4 sermons³⁰And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.3 sermons³¹And 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.6 sermons³²And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.3 sermons³³But 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.3 sermons³⁴And 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.7 sermons³⁵For 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.5 sermons³⁶For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?15 sermons³⁷Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?2 sermons³⁸Whosoever 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.2 sermons
