For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15
And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16
Then he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and broke, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17
And they ate, and were all satisfied: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them, twelve baskets.
18
And it came to pass, as he was in retirement praying, his disciples were with him; and he asked them, saying, Who say the people that I am?
19
They answering, said, John the Baptist; but some [say], Elijah; and others [say], that one of the ancient prophets is risen again.
20
He said to them, But who say ye that I am? Peter answering, said, Christ of God.
21
And he strictly charged them, and commanded [them] to tell no man that thing,
22
Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be put to death, and be raised the third day.
23
And he said to [them] all, If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
24
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it: but whoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
