VIER DUISEND MANS HET VAN HIERDIE KOS GEËET:

29. Jesus het daarvandaan vertrek, en weer by die See van Galilea uitgekom. Hy het toe teen ‘n heuwel uitgeklim en daar gaan sit.

30. ‘n Groot skare het met hulle verlamdes, blindes, kreupeles, stommes, en nog baie ander siekes na Jesus toe gekom, en hulle voor Jesus se voete neergesit, en Hy het hulle gesond gemaak.

31. Die skare was verbaas toe hulle agterkom dat stommes praat, kteupeles gesond is, verlamdes rondbeweeg en bindes kan sien, en hulle het die God van Israel geloof.

32. Jesus het Sy dissipels nader geroep met dié woorde: “Ek voel baie jammer vir hierdie mense, want hulle is al drie dae by My, en hulle het niks om te eet nie. Ek wil hulle ook nie met leë mae wegstuur nie; anders beswyk hulle dalk van honger langs die pad.”

33. Daarop sê Sy dissipels vir Hom: ‘Waar sal ons in hierdie verlate wêreld genoeg brood kry om so ‘n massa te voed?’

34. Jesus vra hulle toe: “Hoeveel brode het julle?” Hulle antwoord toe: ‘Sewe brode en ‘n paar vissies.’

35. Jesus sê toe dat almal op die grond moet gaan sit.

36. Toe neem Hy die sewe brode en die visse, bid om God se seën, breek die brood in stukke, en gee dit aan Sy dissipels, en die dissipels weer aan die skare.

37. Hulle het almal geëet totdat hulle versadig was! Van die oorskiet van die brood, het hulle nog sewe mandjies vol opgetel.

38. Vier duisend mans het van hierdie kos geëet, afgesien van die vroue en kinders!

39. Daarna het Jesus die skare huistoe gestuur, in die boot geklim, en na die omstreke van Magadan vertrek.

THOSE WHO ATE, WERE FOUR THOUSAND MEN:

29. Jesus went on from there and walked beside the sea of Galilee. And He went up on the mountain and sat down there.

30. And great crowds came to Him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at His feet, and He healed them,

31. so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.

32. Then Jesus called His disciples to Him and said: “I Have compassion on the crowd because they have been with Me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I Am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”

33. And His disciples said to Him: ‘Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place, to feed a crowd so great?’

34. And Jesus said to them: “How many loaves do you have?” They answered: ‘Seven, and a few small fish.’

35. And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground,

36. He took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks, He broke them and gave to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

37. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

38. Those who ate were four thousand men, besides woman and children.

39. And after sending away the crowds, He got into the boat, and went to the region of Magadan.

23. Maar Hy het Homself heeltemal doof gehou vir haar. Sy dissipels kom vra Hom toe: ‘Stuur haar tog weg. Sy hou nie op met tekere gaan al agter ons aan nie.’

24. Jesus sê toe: “Ek is net gestuur na die afgedwaalde skape van die volk van Israel.”

25. Sy kom en val toe voor Hom neer en sê: ‘Here, help my tog asseblief!’

26. Maar Hy antwoord haar: “Dis gladnie reg om die kinders se kos weg te vat, en dit vir die huis-hondjies te gooi nie.”

27. Haar reaksie daarop was: ‘Dit is so Here, maar selfs die huis-hondjies eet tog darem van die krummels wat van hulle base se tafels afval.’

28. Daarop antwoord Jesus haar: “Vrou, jou geloof is baie sterk. Jou versoek word toegestaan.” En haar dogter het dadelik gesond geword.

UIT DIE HART KOM SLEGTE GEDAGTES:

15. Petrus vra Hom toe: ‘Verduidelik vir ons wat U bedoel het, toe U gesê het, mense word nie onrein deur wat hulle eet nie.’

16. Hy antwoord: “Verstaan selfs julle dit nog steeds nie?”

18. “Maar slegte woorde kom uit ‘n slegte hart, en maak die persoon wat dit uitspreek, vuil.

19. “Wat uit die hart kom, is slegte gedagtes, soos om moord te pleeg, ontrou te wees in die huwelik, onsedelikheid te bedryf, te steel, leuens te vertel, en mense te belaster.

20. “Dit is hierdie dinge wat jou onrein maak. Om met ongewaste hande te eet, sal jou nooit onrein en onaanvaarbaar voor God maak nie.”

19. “For out of the heart comes evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander.

20. “These are what defile a person. But to eat with unwashed hands, does not defile anyone.”
