V 001 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing
to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
V 002 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been
with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
V 003 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will
faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
V 004 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy
these men with bread here in the wilderness?
V 005 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
V 006 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took
the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples
to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
V 007 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to
set them also before them.
V 008 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken
meat that was left seven baskets.
V 009 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them
away.
V 010 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and
came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
V 011 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him,
seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
V 012 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this
generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign
be given unto this generation.
V 013 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the
other side.
V 014 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in
the ship with them more than one loaf.
V 015 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of
the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
V 016 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have
no bread.
V 017 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because
ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your
heart yet hardened?
V 018 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye
not remember?
V 019 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets
full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
V 020 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of
fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
V 021 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
V 022 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him,
and besought him to touch him.
V 023 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the
town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he
asked him if he saw ought.
V 024 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
V 025 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look
up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
V 026 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the
town, nor tell it to any in the town.
V 027 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea
Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom
do men say that I am?
V 028 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and
others, One of the prophets.
V 029 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter
answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
V 030 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
V 031 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many
things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and
scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
V 032 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to
rebuke him.
V 033 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he
rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not
the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
V 034 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples
also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
V 035 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save
it.
V 036 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?
V 037 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
V 038 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this
adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be
ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. |

يسوع يطعم أربعة آلاف رجل
1-
وتَجمَّعَ في تِلكَ الأيّامِ جُمهورٌ كبـيرٌ، وما كانَ
مَعَهُم شيءٌ يأكلونَهُ. فَدَعا يَسوعُ تلاميذَهُ وقالَ
لهُم:
2- »أُشفِقُ
على هذا الجَمعِ فَهُم مِنْ ثلاثةِ أيّامِ مَعي، ولا طعامَ
لهُم.
3- وإنْ صرَفْتُهم إلى بُيوتِهِم صائِمينَ، خارَت
قِواهُم في الطَّريقِ، ومِنهُم مَنْ جاءَ مِنْ مكانٍ بَعيدٍ«.
4- فأجابَهُ تلاميذُهُ: «كيفَ لأحَدٍ أنْ يُشبـعَ هؤُلاءِ
النـاسَ خُبزًا هُنا في البرِّيَّةِ؟«
5- فسألَهُم: «كم رَغيفًا عِندَكُم؟«
قالوا: «سَبعَةِ«.
6- فأمَرَ يَسوعُ الجَمعَ أنْ يَقعُدوا على الأرضِ، وأخَذَ
الأرغِفَةَ السَبعَةَ وشكَرَ وكسَرَها وأعطى تلاميذَهُ
لِـيُوَزِّعوها على الجَمعِ، فوَزَّعُوها علَيهِم.
7- وكانَ
معَ التلاميذِ بعضُ سَمكاتٍ صِغارٍ، فبارَكَها يَسوعُ وطَلبَ
مِنْ تلاميذِهِ أنْ يُوَزِّعوها أيضًا.
8- فأكَلَ النـاسُ حتى
شَبِعوا، ثُمَّ رفَعوا مِمّا فضَلَ مِنَ الكِسَرِ سَبعَ
سِلالٍ.
9- وكانوا نحوَ أربَعةِ آلافٍ. فَصرَفَهُم يَسوعُ
10- وركِبَ القارِبَ معَ تلاميذِهِ وجاءَ إلى نواحي
دَلمانُوثَةَ.
الفريسيون يطلبون آية
11-
وأقبَلَ إليهِ بَعضُ الفَرّيسيّـينَ وأخذوا يُجادِلونَهُ
طالِبـينَ مِنهُ آيةً مِنَ السَّماءِ ليُجرِّبوهُ،
12-
فتَنَهَّدَ مِنْ أعماقِ قَلبِه وقالَ: «ما لِهذا الجِيلِ
يَطلُبُ آيةً؟ الحقَّ أقولُ لكُم: لن يُعطى هذا الجِيلُ
آيةً!«
13-
وتَركَهُم ورَجَعَ في القارِبِ إلى الشـاطئِ المُقابِلِ.
خمير الفريسيـين وخمير هيرودس
14-
ونَسيَ التلاميذُ أن يتزَوَّدوا خُبزًا، وما كانَ معَهُم في
القارِبِ سِوى رغيفٍ واحدٍ.
15-
وأَوصاهُم يَسوعُ قالَ: «إنتَبِهوا، إيَّاكُم وخميرَ
الفَرّيسيّـينَ وخميرَ هيرُودُسَ!«
16-
فتَساءَلوا: «هل لأنْ لا خُبزَ مَعنا؟«
17- فَعرفَ يَسوعُ وقالَ لهُم: «لماذا تُفكِّرونَ أنِّي قُلتُ
هذا لأنْ لا خُبزَ معَكُم؟ أما أدْركتُم بَعدُ وفَهِمتُم؟
أعَمِيت قُلوبُكُم إلى هذا الحدِّ؟
18- أمْ لكُم عُيونِ ولا
تُبصِرونَ، وآذانِ ولا تَسمَعونَ؟ ألا تَذكُرونَ
19- عِندَما
كَسَرْتُ الأرغِفَةَ الخَمسَةَ لِلخَمسَةِ الآلافِ، كم
قُفَّةً مملوءةً مِنَ الكِسَرِ رَفَعتُم؟ قالوا: «اَثنَتَي
عَشْرَةَ قُفَّةً!«
20- قالَ: «وعِندَما كَسَرتُ
الأرغِفَةَ السَّبعَةَ لِلأربَعةِ الآلافِ، كم
سلَّةً
مَملوءةً
مِنَ الفَضَلاتِ رَفَعتُم؟ قالوا: «سبعَ سِلالٍ!«
21- فقالَ لهُم: «أما فَهِمْتُم بَعدُ؟«
شفاء أعمى في بـيت صيدا
22-
ووَصَلوا إلى بَيتَ صَيدا، فجاؤُوا إليهِ بِأعمى
وتَوسَّلوا إلَيهِ أنْ يَلمِسَهُ.
23-
فأخَذَ بِـيَدِ الأعمى وَقادَهُ إلى خارِجِ
القَريةِ، وهُناكَ تَفَلَ في عَينَيهِ، ووَضَعَ
يَدَيهِ علَيهِ وسألَهُ: «أتُبصر شيئًا؟«
24-
فتَطلَّعَ وقالَ: «أُبصِرُ النـاسَ وأراهُم يَمشُونَ
كأنَّهُم أشجارٌ«.
25- فوَضَعَ يَسوعُ يدَيهِ مرَّةً أُخرى على عَينَي
الرَّجُلِ، فأبصَرَ جيِّدًا وعادَ صَحيحًا يرى كُلَ
شيءٍ واضِحًا.
26- فأرسَلهُ إلى بـيتِهِ وقالَ لَه:
«لا تَدخُلِ القَريةَ«.
بطرس يشهد بحقيقة يسوع
27-
وسارَ يَسوعُ وتلاميذُهُ إلى قُرى قَيصريَّةِ
فيلبُّسَ، وفي الطَّريقِ سألَ تلاميذَهُ: «مَنْ أنا
في رأيِ النـاسِ؟«
28- فأَجابوهُ: «يوحنَّا المَعمَدانُ، وبَعضُهُم
يَقولُ: إيليَّا، وبَعضُهُم: أحدُ الأنبـياءِ«.
29- فسألَهُم: «ومَنْ أنا في رأيِكُم أنتُم؟«
فأجابَ بُطرُسُ: «أنتَ المَسيحُ!«
30- فأمرَهُم أنْ لا يُخبِروا أحدًا.
يسوع ينبـئ أول مرة بموته وقيامته
31-
وبدأَ يُعلِّمُهُم أنَّ اَبنَ الإنسانِ يَجبُ أنْ
يتألَّمَ كثيرًا، وأنْ يَرفُضَهُ الشُّيوخُ
ورُؤَساءُ الكَهنَةِ ومُعَلِّمو الشَّريعَةِ، وأنْ
يَموتَ قَتْلاً، وأنْ يَقومَ بَعدَ ثلاثَةِ أيّامِ.
32-
وكانَ يَقولُ هذا الكلامَ علانيَةً. فاَنفَردَ بِه
بُطرُسُ وأخَذَ يُعاتِبُهُ.
33-
فاَلتَفتَ ورأى تلاميذَهُ، فوَبَّخَ بُطرُسَ
بِقولِهِ: «اَبتَعِدْ عَنِّي يا شَيطانُ، لأنَّ
أفكارَكَ هذِهِ أفكارُ البَشرِ، لا أفكارُ الله«.
34- ودَعا الجُموعَ وتلاميذَهُ وقالَ لهُم: «مَنْ
أرادَ أنْ يَتبَعَني، فلْيُنكِرْ نَفسَهُ ويَحمِلْ
صليبَهُ ويَتبَعْني.
35- لأنَّ الذي يُريدُ أنْ
يُخلِّصَ حَياتَهُ يَخسَرُها، ولكن الذي يَخسَرُ
حَياتَهُ في سَبـيلي وسَبـيلِ البِشارَةِ
يُخَلِّصُها.
36- فماذا يَنفَعُ الإنسانَ لو رَبِـحَ
العالَمَ كُلَّهُ وخَسِرَ نَفسَهُ؟
37- وبماذا يَفدي
الإنسانُ نَفسَهُ؟
38- لأنَّ مَنْ يَستَحي بـي
وبِكَلامي في هذا الجِيلِ الخائِنِ الشِّرِّيرِ،
يَستَحي بِه اَبنُ الإنسانِ متى جاءَ في مَجدِ
أبـيهِ معَ الملائِكَةِ الأطهارِ«.
