Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Εν εκείναις ταις ημέραις, επειδή ήτο πάμπολυς όχλος και δεν είχον τι να φάγωσι, προσκαλέσας ο Ιησούς τους μαθητάς αυτού λέγει προς αυτούς·
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 Σπλαγχνίζομαι διά τον όχλον, ότι τρεις ήδη ημέρας μένουσι πλησίον μου και δεν έχουσι τι να φάγωσι·
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
3 και εάν απολύσω αυτούς νήστεις εις τους οίκους αυτών, θέλουσιν αποκάμει καθ' οδόν· διότι τινές εξ αυτών ήλθον μακρόθεν.
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 απεκρίθησαν προς αυτόν οι μαθηταί αυτού· Πόθεν θέλει τις δυνηθή να χορτάση τούτους από άρτων εδώ επί της ερημίας;
4 His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
5 Και ηρώτησεν αυτούς· Πόσους άρτους έχετε; Οι δε είπον· Επτά.
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
6 Και προσέταξε τον όχλον να καθήσωσιν επί της γής· και λαβών τους επτά άρτους, αφού ευχαρίστησεν, έκοψε και έδιδεν εις τους μαθητάς αυτού διά να βάλωσιν έμπροσθεν του όχλου· και έβαλον.
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 Είχον και ολίγα οψαράκια· και ευλογήσας είπε να βάλωσι και αυτά.
7 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
8 Έφαγον δε και εχορτάσθησαν, και εσήκωσαν περισσεύματα κλασμάτων επτά σπυρίδας.
8 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9 Ήσαν δε οι φαγόντες ως τετρακισχίλιοι· και απέλυσεν αυτούς.
9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 Και ευθύς εμβάς εις το πλοίον μετά των μαθητών αυτού, ήλθεν εις τα μέρη Δαλμανουθά.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11 Και εξήλθον οι Φαρισαίοι και ήρχισαν να κάμνωσιν ερωτήσεις προς αυτόν, και εζήτουν παρ' αυτού σημείον από του ουρανού, πειράζοντες αυτόν.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
12 Τότε αναστενάξας εκ καρδίας αυτού, λέγει· Διά τι η γενεά αύτη σημείον ζητεί; αληθώς σας λέγω, δεν θέλει δοθή εις την γενεάν ταύτην σημείον.
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 αφήσας αυτούς εισήλθε πάλιν εις το πλοίον και απήλθεν εις το πέραν.
13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
14 Ελησμόνησαν δε να λάβωσιν άρτους και δεν είχον μεθ' εαυτών εν τω πλοίω ειμή ένα άρτον.
14 They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
15 Και παρήγγελλεν εις αυτούς, λέγων· Βλέπετε, προσέχετε από της ζύμης των Φαρισαίων και της ζύμης του Ηρώδου.
15 He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16 Και διελογίζοντο προς αλλήλους, λέγοντες ότι άρτους δεν έχομεν.
16 They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
17 Νοήσας δε ο Ιησούς, λέγει προς αυτούς· Τι διαλογίζεσθε ότι δεν έχετε άρτους; έτι δεν νοείτε ουδέ καταλαμβάνετε; έτι πεπωρωμένην έχετε την καρδίαν σας;
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 οφθαλμούς έχοντες δεν βλέπετε, και ώτα έχοντες δεν ακούετε; και δεν ενθυμείσθε;
18 Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
19 ότε έκοψα τους πέντε άρτους εις τους πεντακισχιλίους, πόσους κοφίνους πλήρεις κλασμάτων εσηκώσατε; Λέγουσι προς αυτόν· δώδεκα.
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 Και ότε τους επτά εις τους τετρακισχιλίους, πόσας σπυρίδας πλήρεις κλασμάτων εσηκώσατε; Οι δε είπον· Επτά.
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 έλεγε προς αυτούς· Πως δεν καταλαμβάνετε;
21 He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
22 Και έρχεται εις Βηθσαϊδάν. Και φέρουσι προς αυτόν τυφλόν και παρακαλούσιν αυτόν να εγγίση αυτόν.
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
23 Και πιάσας την χείρα του τυφλού, έφερεν αυτόν έξω της κώμης και πτύσας εις τα όμματα αυτού, επέθεσεν επ' αυτόν τας χείρας και ηρώτα αυτόν αν βλέπη τι.
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 αναβλέψας έλεγε· Βλέπω τους ανθρώπους, ό,τι ως δένδρα βλέπω περιπατούντας.
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
25 Έπειτα πάλιν επέθεσε τας χείρας επί τους οφθαλμούς αυτού και έκαμεν αυτόν να αναβλέψη, και αποκατεστάθη η όρασις αυτού, και είδε καθαρώς άπαντας.
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
26 Και απέστειλεν αυτόν εις τον οίκον αυτού, λέγων· Μηδέ εις την κώμην εισέλθης μηδέ είπης τούτο εις τινά εν τη κώμη.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
27 Και εξήλθεν ο Ιησούς και οι μαθηταί αυτού εις τας κώμας της Καισαρείας Φιλίππου· και καθ' οδόν ηρώτα τους μαθητάς αυτού, λέγων προς αυτούς· Τίνα με λέγουσιν οι άνθρωποι ότι είμαι;
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 απεκρίθησαν· Ιωάννην τον Βαπτιστήν, και άλλοι τον Ηλίαν, άλλοι δε ένα των προφητών.
28 They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
29 Και αυτός λέγει προς αυτούς· Αλλά σεις τίνα με λέγετε ότι είμαι; Και αποκριθείς ο Πέτρος, λέγει προς αυτόν· Συ είσαι ο Χριστός.
29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
30 Και παρήγγειλεν αυστηρώς εις αυτούς να μη λέγωσιν εις μηδένα περί αυτού.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
31 Και ήρχισε να διδάσκη αυτούς ότι πρέπει ο Υιός του ανθρώπου να πάθη πολλά, και να καταφρονηθή από των πρεσβυτέρων και αρχιερέων και γραμματέων, και να θανατωθή, και μετά τρεις ημέρας να αναστηθή·
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 ελάλει τον λόγον παρρησία. Και παραλαβών αυτόν ο Πέτρος κατ' ιδίαν, ήρχισε να επιτιμά αυτόν.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
33 Ο δε επιστραφείς και ιδών τους μαθητάς αυτού, επετίμησε τον Πέτρον λέγων· Ύπαγε οπίσω μου, Σατανά· διότι δεν φρονείς τα του Θεού, αλλά τα των ανθρώπων.
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 προσκαλέσας τον όχλον μετά των μαθητών αυτού, είπε προς αυτούς· Όστις θέλει να έλθη οπίσω μου, ας απαρνηθή εαυτόν και ας σηκώση τον σταυρόν αυτού, και ας με ακολουθή.
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 Διότι όστις θέλει να σώση την ζωήν αυτού, θέλει απολέσει αυτήν· και όστις απολέση την ζωήν αυτού ένεκεν εμού και του ευαγγελίου, ούτος θέλει σώσει αυτήν.
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 Επειδή τι θέλει ωφελήσει τον άνθρωπον, εάν κερδήση τον κόσμον όλον και ζημιωθή την ψυχήν αυτού;
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37 Η τι θέλει δώσει ο άνθρωπος εις ανταλλαγήν της ψυχής αυτού;
37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
38 Διότι όστις αισχυνθή δι' εμέ και διά τους λόγους μου εν τη γενεά ταύτη τη μοιχαλίδι και αμαρτωλώ, και ο Υιός του ανθρώπου θέλει αισχυνθή δι' αυτόν, όταν έλθη εν τη δόξη του Πατρός αυτού μετά των αγγέλων.
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 …
