8 Sometime later, there was again a large group of people near Jesus, and they did not have any food to eat. So, Jesus told his apprentices to come to him. He told them, 2 “I pity the large group of people. They have already spent three days with me, and they do not have any food to eat. 3 Further, suppose that I tell them to go home while they are hungry. Some of them live far away from here. They would pass out while they are walking home.”
4 His apprentices replied, “In this place where no one lives, no one has enough food for these people to have enough to eat!”
5 Then Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have with you?”
They replied, “We have with us seven loaves of bread.”
6 Then Jesus told the large group of people to sit down on the ground. He picked up the seven loaves of bread. Then he thanked God for the food. After that, he tore the bread into pieces and gave the pieces to his apprentices. That way, they could serve them to the large group of people, which they did. 7 The apprentices also had some little fish. So, Jesus thanked God for these fish and told the apprentices to serve them too to the large group of people. 8 The people ate the food, and they had enough to eat. Then the apprentices gathered the food that was left. They filled seven large containers! 9 About 4,000 people were there. Then Jesus told them to go home. 10 As soon as he told them that, Jesus and his apprentices climbed into a boat. They sailed to the region of Dalmanutha.
11 Some Pharisees came to Jesus and started to debate with him. They wanted to investigate him, so they asked him to perform a miracle that showed that God had sent him. 12 Jesus groaned to himself. Then he said, “You people who are alive right now should not ask me to perform a miracle that proves that God sent me. I will never do that kind of miracle for you people! What I have said is true.”
13 Then Jesus went away from the Pharisees. He and his apprentices again entered a boat and sailed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. 14 Now the apprentices had not remembered to pack any food. In fact, the only food that they had in the boat was one loaf of bread. 15 While they were sailing, Jesus ordered the apprentices, “Make sure that you guard against the yeast that the Pharisees use and the yeast that Herod uses.”
16 Then the apprentices told each other that they had very little food.
17 Jesus realized what they were saying to each other. He told them, “You should not be telling each other that you have very little food. You should already realize what I can do! However, you stubbornly refuse to understand it. 18 You look at things, but you do not really see them. You hear things, but you do not really listen. You should remember what I have done! 19 When I tore five loaves of bread into pieces and used them to feed 5, 000 people, you gathered what was left of the food. How many large containers did you fill with the leftovers?”
The apprentices replied, “We filled 12 large containers.”
20 Then Jesus asked, “Again, when I tore seven loaves of bread into pieces and used them to feed 4, 000 people, you gathered the food that was left. How many large containers did you fill?”
The apprentices replied, “We filled seven large containers.”
21 Then Jesus told his apprentices, “You should already realize what I can do!”
22 After that, Jesus and his apprentices arrived at the town of Bethsaida. The people there took a blind man to Jesus. They urged Jesus to heal the man by touching him. 23 So, Jesus took one of the blind man’s hands. He brought the blind man outside the town. Then Jesus spat saliva onto the man’s eyes, and Jesus touched him. After that, he asked the man, “Can you see anything?”
24 So, the man looked around. He said, “Yes, I can see people! They look like trees, but I can tell that they are walking around.”
25 After that, Jesus again touched the blind man’s eyes. When the man looked around carefully, he could see everything properly. Jesus had cured him! 26 Jesus commanded the man, “Do not go into the town of Bethsaida!” Then he told the man to go home.
27 After that, Jesus and his apprentices left the town of Bethsaida and walked toward the small towns near the city of Caesarea Philippi. While they were walking, Jesus asked his apprentices, “Who do people say that I really am?”
28 The apprentices replied, “People say that you are one of the prophets who has come back to life. More specifically, some people say that you are John the Baptizer. Other people say that you are the prophet Elijah.”
29 Then Jesus asked them, “As for you, who do you say that I really am?”
Peter replied, “You are the Messiah!”
30 Then Jesus ordered the apprentices not to tell anyone who he really was.
31 After that, Jesus started to instruct his apprentices about what had to happen to him, the Son of Man. People would hurt him very much. The Jewish leaders, the ruling priests, and the teachers of the Jewish law would refuse to listen to him. Then, people would kill him. Three days after he died, he would live again. 32 Jesus told that to them clearly. Then Peter spoke to Jesus privately. He started to scold him.
33 Jesus turned around and looked at his other apprentices. Then he scolded Peter, “Do not try to stop me. You are behaving as Satan does! You are thinking about what humans care about instead of thinking about what God cares about.”
34 Then Jesus told his apprentices and the large group of people to come to him. He told them, “People who want to come with me and be my apprentices must refuse to do what they want to do. They must be willing to suffer or die as if they were carrying their own crosses when they come with me as my apprentices. 35 That is because people who are willing to do anything to stay alive will not truly live. However, people who are willing to die because they are my apprentices and because they believe the good news will truly live. 36 Suppose that some people acquire everything they could possibly want. However, they can no longer truly live. That is not worth it! 37 In fact, people cannot acquire anything that is as valuable as truly living. 38 The men and women who are alive right now sin often and do not remain faithful. As they live among those men and women, some people consider it shameful to say that they believe in me and what I say. Then I, the Son of Man, will consider it shameful to say that those people belong to me. That will happen when I return with the angels whom God has set apart. At that time, I will be as glorious as God my Father.”
