1 εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις παλιν πολλου οχλου οντος και μη εχοντων τι φαγωσιν, προσκαλεσαμενος ο ιησους τους μαθητας αυτου λεγει αυτοις·
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 σπλαγχνιζομαι επι τον οχλον, οτι ηδη ημεραι τρεις προσμενουσιν μοι και ουκ εχουσιν τι φαγωσιν·
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
3 και εαν απολυσω αυτους νηστεις εις οικον αυτων, εκλυθησονται εν τη οδω· τινες γαρ αυτων απο μακροθεν ηκασιν.
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 και απεκριθησαν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου· ποθεν τουτους δυνησεται τις ωδε χορτασαι αρτων επ ερημιας;
4 His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
5 και επηρωτα αυτους· ποσους εχετε αρτους; οι δε ειπον· επτα.
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
6 και παρηγγειλεν τω οχλω αναπεσειν επι της γης· και λαβων τους επτα αρτους ευχαριστησας εκλασεν και εδιδου τοις μαθηταις αυτου ινα παρατιθωσιν· και παρεθηκαν τω οχλω.
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 και ειχον ιχθυδια ολιγα· και αυτα ευλογησας ειπεν παρατιθεναι και αυτα.
7 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
8 εφαγον δε και εχορτασθησαν, και ηραν περισσευματα κλασματων επτα σπυριδας.
8 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9 ησαν δε ως τετρακισχιλιοι· και απελυσεν αυτους.
9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 και εμβας ευθυς εις το πλοιον μετα των μαθητων αυτου ηλθεν εις τα μερη δαλμανουθα.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11 και εξηλθον οι φαρισαιοι και ηρξαντο συζητειν αυτω, ζητουντες παρ αυτου σημειον απο του ουρανου, πειραζοντες αυτον.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
12 και αναστεναξας τω πνευματι αυτου λεγει· τι η γενεα αυτη σημειον επιζητει; αμην λεγω υμιν, ει δοθησεται τη γενεα ταυτη σημειον.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 και αφεις αυτους εις το πλοιον απηλθεν παλιν.
13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
14 και επελαθοντο λαβειν αρτους, και ει μη ενα αρτον ουκ ειχον μεθ εαυτων εν τω πλοιω.
14 They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
15 και διεστελλετο αυτοις λεγων· ορατε, βλεπετε απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων και της ζυμης ηρωδου.
15 He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16 και διελογιζοντο προς αλληλους λεγοντες οτι αρτους ουκ εχομεν.
16 They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
17 και γνους ο ιησους λεγει αυτοις· τι διαλογιζεσθε οτι αρτους ουκ εχετε; ουπω νοειτε ουδε συνιετε; ετι πεπωρωμενην εχετε την καρδιαν υμων;
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 οφθαλμους εχοντες ου βλεπετε, και ωτα εχοντες ουκ ακουετε; και ου μνημονευετε;
18 Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
19 οτε τους πεντε αρτους εκλασα εις τους πεντακισχιλιους, και ποσους κοφινους κλασματων πληρεις ηρατε; λεγουσιν αυτω· δωδεκα.
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 οτε δε τους επτα εις τους τετρακισχιλιους, ποσων σπυριδων πληρωματα κλασματων ηρατε; οι δε ειπον· επτα.
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 και ελεγεν αυτοις· ουπω συνιετε;
21 He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
22 και ερχεται εις βηθσαιδα. και φερουσιν αυτω τυφλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον ινα αυτου αψηται.
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
23 και επιλαβομενος της χειρος του τυφλου εξηγαγεν αυτον εξω της κωμης, και πτυσας εις τα ομματα αυτου, επιθεις τας χειρας αυτω επηρωτα αυτον ει τι βλεπει.
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 και αναβλεψας ελεγεν· βλεπω τους ανθρωπους ως δενδρα περιπατουντας.
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
25 ειτα παλιν επεθηκεν τας χειρας επι τους οφθαλμους αυτου και εποιησεν αυτον αναβλεψαι, και αποκατεσταθη, και ενεβλεψεν τηλαυγως απαντας.
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
26 και απεστειλεν αυτον εις τον οικον αυτου λεγων· μηδε εις την κωμην εισελθης μηδε ειπης τινι εν τη κωμη.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
27 και εξηλθεν ο ιησους και οι μαθηται αυτου εις τας κωμας καισαρειας της φιλιππου· και εν τη οδω επηρωτα τους μαθητας αυτου λεγων αυτοις· τινα με λεγουσιν οι ανθρωποι ειναι;
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 οι δε απεκριθησαν· ιωαννην τον βαπτιστην, και αλλοι ηλιαν, αλλοι δε ενα των προφητων.
28 They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
29 και αυτος λεγει αυτοις· υμεις δε τινα με λεγετε ειναι; αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος λεγει αυτω· συ ει ο χριστος.
29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
30 και επετιμησεν αυτοις ινα μηδενι λεγωσιν περι αυτου.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
31 και ηρξατο διδασκειν αυτους οτι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου πολλα παθειν, και αποδοκιμασθηναι απο των πρεσβυτερων και των αρχιερεων και των γραμματεων, και αποκτανθηναι, και μετα τρεις ημερας αναστηναι·
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 και παρρησια τον λογον ελαλει. και προσλαβομενος αυτον ο πετρος ηρξατο επιτιμαν αυτω.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
33 ο δε επιστραφεις και ιδων τους μαθητας αυτου επετιμησεν τω πετρω λεγων· υπαγε οπισω μου, σατανα· οτι ου φρονεις τα του θεου, αλλα τα των ανθρωπων.
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.”
34 και προσκαλεσαμενος τον οχλον συν τοις μαθηταις αυτου ειπεν αυτοις· οστις θελει οπισω μου ακολουθειν, απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου, και ακολουθειτω μοι.
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 ος γαρ αν θελη την ψυχην αυτου σωσαι, απολεσει αυτην· ος δ αν απολεση την εαυτου ψυχην ενεκεν εμου και του ευαγγελιου, ουτος σωσει αυτην.
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 τι γαρ ωφελησει ανθρωπον εαν κερδηση τον κοσμον ολον, και ζημιωθη την ψυχην αυτου;
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37 η τι δωσει ανθρωπος ανταλλαγμα της ψυχης αυτου;
37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
38 ος γαρ εαν επαισχυνθη με και τους εμους λογους εν τη γενεα ταυτη τη μοιχαλιδι και αμαρτωλω, και ο υιος του ανθρωπου επαισχυνθησεται αυτον οταν ελθη εν τη δοξη του πατρος αυτου μετα των αγγελων των αγιων.
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.”

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
In expounding to you the Holy Scriptures, I as it were break bread for you. Do ye in hunger receive it, and break forth with a fulness of phrase from the heart; and ye who are rich in your banquet, be not meagre in good works and deeds. What I deal out to you is not mine own.

… for the remission of sins be preached in His name among all nations." Now this is He who was born of Mary; for He says: "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected, and crucified, and on the third day rise again." The Gospel, therefore, knew no other son of man but Him who was of Mary, …
Hard and grievous does that appear which the Lord hath enjoined, that "whosoever will come after Him, must deny himself." But what He enjoineth is not hard or grievous, who aideth us that what He enjoineth may be done.

But Mark saith, that when they were come unto Him, and were questioning with Him, "He sighed deeply in His spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign?" And yet surely their inquiry was deserving of anger and great displeasure; yet nevertheless the benevolent and provident One is not angry, but pities and bewails them as incurably …

We ask them to listen to the Lord Himself, distinctly setting forth the equal dignity of His glory with the Father, in His words, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father;" and again, "When the Son cometh in the glory of his Father;" that they "should honour the Son even as they honour the Father;" and, "We beheld …
