- Kapitel 8 -

(2 Kings 4:42–44; Matthew 15:29–39)
1
In those days, there was again a great crowd, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples and said to them,
2
“I have compassion on the crowd, because they continue to be with me already for three days and have nothing to eat.
3
If I send them away to their home without eating, they may faint on the way. And some of them have come a long way.”
4
His disciples answered him, “Where can we get enough loaves of bread in such a deserted place to satisfy these people?”
5
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
6
He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. He took the seven loaves, gave thanks, and broke them. He gave them to his disciples to set before them, and they set them before the crowd.
7
They also had a few small fish, and after he gave thanks for them, he commanded the disciples to serve these as well.
8
They ate and were satisfied. And they picked up the remaining broken pieces, seven large baskets.
9
There were about four thousand people. And he sent them away.
10
Immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and they went into the region of Dalmanutha.

The Demand for a Sign

(Matthew 16:1–4; Luke 12:54–56)
11
Then the Pharisees came out and began to argue with him. They sought from him a sign from heaven, to test him.
12
He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13
Then he left them, got into a boat again, and went away to the other side.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod

(Matthew 16:5–12; Luke 12:1–3)
14
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread with them. They had no more than one loaf of bread in the boat.
15
He warned them and said, “Keep watch and be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16
The disciples reasoned with each other, “It is because we have no bread.”
17
Jesus was aware of this, and he said to them, “Why are you reasoning about not having bread? Do you not yet perceive? Do you not understand? Have your hearts become so dull?
18
You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
19
When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces of bread did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
20
“And when I broke the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many basketfuls did you take up?” They said to him, “Seven.”
21
He said, “Do you not yet understand?”

The Blind Man at Bethsaida

22
They came to Bethsaida. The people there brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
23
Jesus took hold of the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24
He looked up, and said, “I see men who look like walking trees.”
25
Then he again laid his hands upon his eyes, and the man opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw all things clearly.
26
Jesus sent him away to his home and said, “Do not enter the town.”

Peter’s Confession of Christ

(Matthew 16:13–20; Luke 9:18–20; John 6:67–71)
27
Jesus went out with his disciples into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do the people say that I am?”
28
They answered him and said, “John the Baptist. Others say, ‘Elijah,’ and others, ‘One of the prophets.’”
29
He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to him, “You are the Christ.”
30
Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

Christ’s Passion Foretold

(Matthew 16:21–23; Luke 9:21–22)
31
And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and would be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and would be killed, and after three days rise up.
32
He said this clearly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33
But Jesus turned and looked at his disciples and then he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! You are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of people.”

Take Up Your Cross

(Matthew 16:24–28; Luke 9:23–27)
34
Then he called the crowd and his disciples together, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
35
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel, will save it.
36
What does it profit a person, to gain the whole world, and then forfeit his life?
37
What can a person give in exchange for his life?
38
Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

(2 Kings 4:42–44; Matthew 15:29–39)
1
In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself and said to them,
2
“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
3
If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
4
His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
5
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
6
He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.
7
They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
8
They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9
Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10
Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.

The Demand for a Sign

(Matthew 16:1–4; Luke 12:54–56)
11
The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
12
He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation (a) seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13
He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.

The Leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod

(Matthew 16:5–12; Luke 12:1–3)
14
They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
15
He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16
They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
17
Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened?
18
Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
19
When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Twelve.”
20
“When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.”
21
He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”

The Blind Man at Bethsaida

22
He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
23
He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
24
He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
25
Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
26
He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”

Peter’s Confession of Christ

(Matthew 16:13–20; Luke 9:18–20; John 6:67–71)
27
Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
28
They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
29
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
30
He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

Christ’s Passion Foretold

(Matthew 16:21–23; Luke 9:21–22)
31
He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32
He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
33
But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

Take Up Your Cross

(Matthew 16:24–28; Luke 9:23–27)
34
He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
36
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37
For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
38
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
