¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

¹⁶ The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

¹⁷ And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

¹⁸ For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

¹⁹ For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

²⁰ For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

²¹ Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

⁹ And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

¹⁰ And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

¹¹ And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

¹² But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

¹³ But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

¹ In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples {unto him}, and saith unto them,

² I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

³ And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

⁴ And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these {men} with bread here in the wilderness?

⁵ And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

⁶ 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.

⁷ And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before {them}.

⁸ And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

⁹ And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

¹⁰ And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

¹¹ 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.

¹² And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

¹³ Now {the disciples} had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

¹⁴ And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and {of} the leaven of Herod.

¹⁵ And they reasoned among themselves, saying, {It is} because we have no bread.

¹⁶ 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?

¹⁷ Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

¹⁸ When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

¹⁹ And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

²⁰ And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

²¹ And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

²² 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.

²³ And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

²⁴ After that he put {his} hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

²⁵ And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell {it} to any in the town.

²⁶ 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?

²⁷ And they answered, John the Baptist: but some {say}, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

²⁸ And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

²⁹ And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

³⁰ 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.

³¹ And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

³² 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.

³³ 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.

³⁴ 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.

³⁵ For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

³⁶ Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁷ 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.
