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 filled, and there were taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
18
And it came to pass as He was alone 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 old prophets has risen again."
20
He said to them, "But who say ye that I am?" Peter answering said, "The Christ of God!"
21
And He strictly charged them and commanded them to tell no man this thing,
22
saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and scribes, and be slain 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 whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever will lose his life for My sake, the same shall save it.
