Jesus Feeds More Than 4000(Mt. 15:32-39) 8 1Another time there were many people with Jesus. The people had nothing to eat. So he called his followers to him and said, 2"I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me for three days, and now they have nothing to eat. 3I should not send them home hungry. If they leave without eating, they will faint on the way home. Some of them live a long way from here."
4Jesus' followers answered, "But we are far away from any towns. Where can we get enough bread to feed all these people?"
5Then Jesus asked them, "How many loaves of bread do you have?"
They answered, "We have seven loaves of bread."
6Jesus told the people to sit on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks to God. He broke the bread into pieces and gave them to his followers. He told them to give the bread to the people, and they did as he said. 7The followers also had a few small fish. Jesus gave thanks for the fish and told them to give the fish to the people.
8They all ate until they were full. Then the followers filled seven baskets with the pieces of food that were left. 9There were about 4000 men who ate. After they ate, Jesus told them to go home. 10Then he went in a boat with his followers to the area of Dalmanutha.
Some People Doubt Jesus’ Authority(Mt. 16:1-4; Lk. 11:16, 29) 11The Phariseesa came to Jesus and asked him questions. They wanted to test him. So they asked him to do a miracleb as a sign from God. 12Jesus sighed deeply and said, "Why do you people ask to see a miracle as a sign? I want you to know that no miracle will be done to prove anything to you." 13Then Jesus left them and went in the boat to the other side of the lake.
Jesus’ Followers Misunderstand Him(Mt. 16:5-12) 14The followers had only one loaf of bread with them in the boat. They forgot to bring more bread. 15Jesus warned them, "Be careful! Guard against the yeastc of the Phariseesa and the yeast of Herodd."
16The followers discussed the meaning of this. They said, "He said this because we have no bread."
17Jesus knew that the followers were talking about this. So he asked them, "Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are you not able to understand? 18Do you have eyes that can't see? Do you have ears that can't hear? Remember what I did before, when we did not have enough bread? 19I divided five loaves of bread for 5000 people. Remember how many baskets you filled with pieces of food that were not eaten?"
The followers answered, "We filled twelve baskets."
20"And when I divided seven loaves of bread for 4000 people, how many baskets did you fill with the leftover pieces?"
They answered, "We filled seven baskets."
21Then he said to them, "You remember these things I did, but you still don't understand?"
Jesus Heals a Blind Man in Bethsaida 22Jesus and his followers came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch the man. 23So Jesus held the blind man's hand and led him out of the village. Then he spit on the man's eyes. He laid his hands one him and asked, "Can you see now?"
24The man looked up and said, "Yes, I see people. They look like trees walking around."
25Again Jesus laid his hands on the man's eyes, and the man opened them wide. His eyes were healed, and he was able to see everything clearly. 26Jesus told him to go home. He said, "Don't go into the town."
Peter Says Jesus Is the Messiah(Mt. 16:13-20; Lk. 9:18-21) 27Jesus and his followers went to the towns in the area of Caesarea Philippi. While they were traveling, Jesus asked the followers, "Who do people say I am?"
28They answered, "Some people say you are John the Baptizerf. Others say you are Elijahg. And others say you are one of the prophetsh."
29Then Jesus asked, "Who do you say I am?"
Peter answered, "You are the Messiahi."
30Jesus told the followers, "Don't tell anyone who I am."
Jesus Says He Must Die(Mt. 16:21-28; Lk. 9:22-27) 31Then Jesus began to teach his followers that the Son of Manj must suffer many things. He taught that the Son of Man would not be accepted by the older Jewish leaders, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law. He said that the Son of Man must be killed and then rise from death after three days. 32Jesus told them everything that would happen. He did not keep anything secret.
Peter took Jesus away from the other followers to talk to him alone. Peter criticized him for saying these things. 33But Jesus turned and looked at his followers. Then he criticized Peter. He said to Peter, "Get away from me, Satank! You don't care about the same things God does. You care only about things that people think are important."
34Then Jesus called the crowd and his followers to him. He said, "Any of you who want to be my follower must stop thinking about yourself and what you want. You must be willing to carry the crossl that is given to you for following me. 35Any of you who try to save the life you have will lose it. But you who give up your life for me and for the Good Newsm will save it. 36It is worth nothing for you to have the whole world if you yourself are lost. 37You could never pay enough to buy back your life. 38People today are so sinful. They have not been faithful to God. As you live among them, don't be ashamed of me and my teaching. If that happens, In will be ashamed of you when I come with the gloryo of my Father and the holy angels."

dHerod (1) Herod I (the Great), king of Judea and all of Palestine (40-4 b.c.), Mt. 2:1-22; Lk. 1:5; Acts 23:35. (2) Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, tetrarch (ruler) of Galilee and Perea (4 b.c.-39 a.d.), Mt. 14:1-6; Mk. 6:14-22; 8:15; Lk. 3:1, 19; 8:3; 9:7, 9; 13:31; 23:7-15; Acts 4:27; 13:1.

elay hands on This act was a way of asking God to bless people in a special way - to heal them, to cause the Holy Spirit to come into them, or to give them power for a special work.
fJohn the Baptizer The man God chose to tell people about Christ’s coming and to prepare them by warning them to change their lives and by baptizing them (see “baptize”) as a sign of their decision to change. Read Mt. 3; Mk. 1:1-11; Lk. 1:5-25, 57-80; 3:1-18.
gElijah A very important Israelite leader and prophet who spoke for God during a 25-year period ending about 850 b.c. In the time of Jesus, the Jews were expecting Elijah to come again before the Messiah. See Mal. 4:5-6.
hprophet A person who speaks a message from God. Many of the books in the Old Testament are messages spoken or written by “the prophets,” who were some of those God chose to speak for him. God often used dreams or visions to tell or show his prophets what they should say.
iMessiah A Hebrew word that has the same meaning as the Greek word Christ (see “Christ”). It was a title for the kings of God’s people in the Old Testament and for the special king God promised to send as a “savior” to defeat evil and establish the reign of God. Many prophets made it clear that this new kingdom would be eternal; that is, not only would the promised Messiah bring about a time of justice and right living among God’s people here on earth, but also his kingdom would extend beyond this world to life forever with God. However, most Jews of the first century expected the Messiah to be a political ruler here on earth who would defeat the other nations and return the nation of Israel to a position of great glory and power. But God intended his Messiah to establish a new “Israel,” an eternal kingdom that would bless all the nations.
jSon of Man The name that Jesus most often used for himself. The phrase in Hebrew or Aramaic means “human being” or “mankind,” but in Dan. 7:13-14 it is used of a future savior and king, and this was later understood to be the Messiah, the one God would send to save his people.
k8:33 Satan Name for the devil meaning “the enemy.” Jesus means that Peter was talking like Satan.
lcross The wooden post that Romans used to execute criminals. It is a symbol of shame, suffering and death. Just as Jesus was willing to suffer death on a cross for all people, so he asks his followers to be willing to give up their lives for him.
mGood News In the Gospels this is usually the news about the coming of God’s kingdom (see above) or its representative Jesus the Messiah. In other places it is, more specifically, the news or message of God’s grace - that he has made a way through Jesus Christ for people to be made right with him and enjoy his blessings now and forever.
n8:38 I Literally, “the Son of Man” (Jesus).
oglory A word that refers to the special qualities of God. Often it means brightness, referring to the way he appears to people. Sometimes it means majesty or power, referring to a kind of greatness that cannot be compared to anything in human experience. It can also include the ideas of wealth, honor, fame, or respect, especially in expressions of praise.
