1 εν εκειναισ ταισ ημεραισ παμπολλου 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 μακροθεν ηκουσιν
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 παραθωσιν 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 ευλογησασ ειπεν παραθειναι 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 οι φαγοντεσ ωσ τετρακισχιλιοι και απελυσεν αυτουσ
9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 και ευθεωσ εμβασ 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 εμβασ παλιν εισ πλοιον απηλθεν εισ το περαν
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 ποσουσ κοφινουσ πληρεισ κλασματων 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 πωσ ου συνιετε
21 He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
22 και ερχεται εισ βηθσαιδαν 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 οτι ωσ δενδρα ορω 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 …
