15:30. And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them: 15:31. So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel. 15:32. And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. 15:33. And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude? 15:34. And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes. 15:35. And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground. 15:36. And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people. 15:37. And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments. 15:38. And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women. 15:39. And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan. Matthew Chapter 16 Christ refuses to shew the Pharisees a sign from heaven. Peter's confession is rewarded. He is rebuked for opposing Christ's passion. All his followers must deny themselves. 16:1. And there came to him the Pharisees and Sadducees tempting: and they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven. 16:2. But he answered and said to them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. 16:3. And in the morning: To day there will be a storm, for the sky is red and lowering. You know then how to discern the face of the sky: and can you not know the signs of the times? 16:4. A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign: and a sign shall not be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. And he left them, and went away. 16:5. And when his disciples were come over the water, they had forgotten to take bread. 16:6. Who said to them: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 16:7. But they thought within themselves, saying: Because we have taken no bread. 16:8. And Jesus knowing it, said: Why do you think within yourselves, O ye of little faith, for that you have no bread? 16:9. Do you not yet understand, neither do you remember the five loaves among five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up? 16:10. Nor the seven loaves, among four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up? 16:11. Why do you not understand that it was not concerning bread I said to you: Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?
