17. Feeds

15:29-39

Ate all and were satisfied

15:29 And (then) removing thence Jesus came by the sea of Galilee and going up into the mountain he sat there. 30 and approached to him crowds many having with themselves lame, maimed, blind, dumb, and others many, and cast them at the feet of him: and he healed them forth cried come forth though was evil, murders, adulteries, fornication's thefts, false witnessing blasphemes 31 so as the crowd to marvel seeing dumb men speaking maimed whole and lame walking and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. 32 And Jesus calling forward the disciples of him said: I am filled with tenderness over the crowd, because now days three they remain with me and have not anything they may eat; and to dismiss them without food I am not willing lest they fall

into the way. 33 And say to him the disciples; Whence to us in a desert loaves so many so as to satisfy a crowd so great? 34 and says to them Jesus: How many loaves have ye and they said: Seven and a few fishes. 35 And having enjoined the crowd to recline on the ground. 36 he took the seven loaves and the fishes and giving thanks he broke and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.37 And ate all and were satisfied, and the excess of the fragments they took, seven baskets full. 38 And the (ones) eating were four thousand men apart from women and children. 39 And having dismissed the crowds he embarked in the ship and came into the borders of Magadan.

18 Warns

16:1-12

Not to take heed from leaven of Pharisees

16:1 And (then) approaching the Pharisees and Sadducees tempting asked him a sign out of the heaven to show to them. 2 But he answering said to them: Evening coming on ye say Fair weather for is red the heaven 3 and in the morning Today stormy weather for is red being overcast the heaven. The face of the heaven ye know to discern, but the signs of the times can ye not? 5 A generation evil and adulterous a sign seeks, and a sign shall not be given to it except the sign of Jonah. And leaving them he went away. 5 And (then) coming the disciples to the other side they forgot loaves to take. And Jesus said to them: 6 Beware and take heed from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 7 But they reasoned among

themselves saying Loaves not we took. 8 But knowing Jesus said: Why reason ye among yourselves little-faith because loaves ye have not? 9 Do ye not yet understand neither remember ye the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets ye took? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many baskets ye took? 11 How do ye not understand that not concerning loaves I said to you? But take heed from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 12 Then they understood that not he said to take heed from the leaven of the loaves, but from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. (Note: Again, the paragraph falls into two halves, the 2nd a commentary on the first)

19 Builds

16:13-19

. .on this rock I will build of me the church

16:13 And (then) coming the Jesus into the parts of Caesarea of Philip he questioned the disciples of him saying. Whom say the men to be the Son of man? 14 And they said: Some indeed John the Baptist, and others Elias, and others Jeremias or one of the prophets. 15 He says to them: But ye whom me say to be? 16 And answering Simon Peter said: 17 Thou art

the Christ the Son of God of the living. And answering Jesus said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Barjonas because flesh and blood did not reveal to thee but the Father of me in the heavens. 18 And I also to thee say; Thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build of me the church and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.
