1 In those dayes when ther was a very greate companye and had nothinge to eate Iesus called his disciples to him and sayd vnto them:
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 this people because they have nowe bene with me .iii. dayes and have nothinge to eate:
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
3 And yf I shuld sende the awaye fastinge to their awne houses they shulde faynt by the waye. For dyvers of the came from farre.
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 And his disciples answered him: where shuld a man have breade here in the wildernes to satisfie these?
4 His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
5 And he axed them: how many loves have ye? They sayde: seven.
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
6 And he commaunded the people to syt doune on the grounde. And he toke the .vii. loves gave thankes brake and gave to his disciples to set before them. And they dyd set the before the people.
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 And they had a feawe smale fysshes. And he blessed them and commaunded them also to be set before them.
7 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
8 And they ate and were suffysed: And they toke vp yf the broken meate that was lefte .vii. baskettes full.
8 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9 And they that ate were in nomber aboute fowre thousand. And he sent them awaye.
9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 And a none he entred into a ship with his disciples and came into the parties of Dalmanutha.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11 And the pharises cam forth and begane to dispute with him sekinge of him a signe from heven and temptinge him.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
12 And he sygthed in his sprete and sayde: why doth this generacion seke a signe? Verely I saye vnto you ther shall no signe be geven vnto this generacion.
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 And he lefte the and went into the ship agayne and departed over the water.
13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
14 And they had forgotten to take breed with the nether had they in the ship with them more then one loofe.
14 They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
15 And he charged the sayinge. Take hede and beware of the leven of the pharises and of the leve of Herode.
15 He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16 And they reasoned amonge the selves sayinge: we have no breed
16 They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
17 And when Iesus knewe that he sayde vnto the: why take ye thought because ye have no bread perceave ye not yet nether vnderstonde? Have ye youre hertes yet blynded?
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 Have ye eyes and se not? and have ye eares and heare not? Do ye not remember?
18 Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
19 When I brake v. loves amonge .v.M. How many baskettes full of broke meate toke ye vp? They sayde vnto him twelve.
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 I brake .vii. amonge .iiii. M. How many basketes of the levinges of broken meate toke ye vp? they sayde .vii.
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 And he sayde vnto the: how is it that ye vnderstonde not?
21 He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
22 And he came to Bethsaida and they brought a blynde man vnto him and desyred him to touche him.
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
23 And he caught the blynde by the honde and leade him out of the toune and spat in his eyes and put his hondes apon him and axed him whether he saw ought.
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 And he loked vp and sayde: I se the men: For I se the walke as they were trees.
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
25 After that he put his hondes agayne apon his eyes and made him see. And he was restored to his sight and sawe every man clerly.
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
26 And he sent him home to his housse sayinge: nether goo into the toune nor tell it to eny in the toune.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
27 And Iesus went out and his disciples into the tounes that longe to the cite called Cesarea Philippi. And by the waye he axed his disciples sayinge: whom do men saye that I am?
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 And they answered: some saye that thou arte Iohn Baptiste: some saye Helyas: and some one of the Prophetes.
28 They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
29 And he sayde vnto them: But whom saye ye that I am? Peter answered and sayd vnto him: Thou arte very Christe.
29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
30 And he charged them that they shuld tell no man of it.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
31 And he beganne to teache them how that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges and shuld be reproved of the elders and of the hye prestes and scribes and be kylled and after thre dayes aryse agayne.
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 And he spake that sayinge openly. And Peter toke him asyde and began to chyde him.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
33 Then he tourned aboute and looked on his disciples and rebuked Peter sayinge: Goo after me Satan. For thou saverest not the thinges of God but the thinges of men.
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 And he called the people vnto him with his disciples also and sayd vnto them: Whosoever will folowe me let him forsake him sylfe and take vp his crosse and folowe me.
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 whosoever will save his lyfe shall lose it But whosoever shall lose his lyfe for my sake and the gospels the same shall save it.
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 What shall it profet a man yf he shuld wynne all the worlde and loose his awne soule?
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37 or els what shall a man geve to redeme his soule agayne?
37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
38 Whosoever therfore shall be asshamed of me and of my wordes amonge this advoutrous and sinfull generacion: of him shall the sonne of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his father with the holy angels.
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.
