Mt 15.32-39; Mk 6.32-44; Mt 14.13-21; Lk 9.11-17; Jn 6.5-13. In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them, 2“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; 3and if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long way.” 4And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?” 5And he asked them, “How many loaves have you?” They said, “Seven.” 6And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd. 7And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them. 8And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. 9And there were about four thousand people. 10And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanutha.#8.10 Other ancient authorities read Magadan or Magdala

Mt 16.1-4; 12.38-39; Lk 11.29. The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him. 12And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.” 13#Mt 16.4-12. And he left them, and getting into the boat again he departed to the other side.
14Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15#Lk 12.1; Mk 6.14; 12.13. And he cautioned them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”#8.15 Other ancient authorities read the Herodians 16And they discussed it with one another, saying, “We have no bread.” 17#Mk 6.52; Jer 5.21; Is 6.9-10; Mt 13.10-15. And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, “Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19#Mk 6.41-44. When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20#Mk 8.1-10. “And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

Mk 10.46-52; Jn 9.1-7. #Mk 6.45; Lk 9.10. And they came to Beth-saida. And some people brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him. 23#Mk 7.33; 5.23. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24And he looked up and said, “I see men; but they look like trees, walking.” 25Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly. 26And he sent him away to his home, saying, “Do not even enter the village.”

Mt 16.13-20; Lk 9.18-21; Jn 6.66-69. And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” 28#Mk 6.14. And they told him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; and others one of the prophets.” 29And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.” 30#Mk 9.9; 1.34. And he charged them to tell no one about him.
31 #
Mt 16.21-28; Lk 9.22-27. And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32And he said this plainly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. 33#Mt 4.10. But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men.”
34 #
Mt 10.38; Lk 14.27. And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35#Mt 10.39; Lk 17.33; Jn 12.25. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. 36For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 37For what can a man give in return for his life? 38#Mt 10.33; Lk 12.9. For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

St Mark 8
8
1IN those days again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them:
2I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.
3And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.
4And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?
5And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven.
6And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.
7And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.
8And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.
9And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
10And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, asking him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation.
13And leaving them, he went up again into the ship, and passed to the other side of the water.
14And they forgot to take bread; and they had but one loaf with them in the ship.
15And he charged them, saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because we have no bread.
17Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? do you not yet know nor understand? have you still your heart blinded?
18Having eyes, see you not? and having ears, hear you not? neither do you remember.
19When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him, Twelve.
20When also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments took you up? And they say to him, Seven.
21And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?
22And they came to Bethsaida; and they bring to him a blind man, and they besought him that he would touch him.
23And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town; and spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing.
24And looking up, he said: I see men as it were trees, walking.
25After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes, and he began to see, and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly.
26And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if thou enter into the town, tell nobody.
27And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am?
28Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets.
29Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ.
30And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him.
31And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed: and after three days rise again.
32And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him.
33Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the things that are of God, but that are of men.
34And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.
36For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
37Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38For he that shall 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 shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
39And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
