15:29-39

Ate all and were satisfied

15:29 And (then) removing thence Jesus came by the sea of Galilee and going up into the mountain he sat there. 30 and approached to him crowds many having with themselves lame, maimed, blind, dumb, and others many, and cast them at the feet of him: and he healed them forth cried come forth though was evil, murders, adulteries, fornication's thefts, false witnessing blasphemes 31 so as the crowd to marvel seeing dumb men speaking maimed whole and lame walking and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel. 32 And Jesus calling forward the disciples of him said: I am filled with tenderness over the crowd, because now days three they remain with me and have not anything they may eat; and to dismiss them without food I am not willing lest they fall

into the way. 33 And say to him the disciples; Whence to us in a desert loaves so many so as to satisfy a crowd so great? 34 and says to them Jesus: How many loaves have ye and they said: Seven and a few fishes. 35 And having enjoined the crowd to recline on the ground. 36 he took the seven loaves and the fishes and giving thanks he broke and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.37 And ate all and were satisfied, and the excess of the fragments they took, seven baskets full. 38 And the (ones) eating were four thousand men apart from women and children. 39 And having dismissed the crowds he embarked in the ship and came into the borders of Magadan.

16:1-12

Not to take heed from leaven of Pharisees

16:1 And (then) approaching the Pharisees and Sadducees tempting asked him a sign out of the heaven to show to them. 2 But he answering said to them: Evening coming on ye say Fair weather for is red the heaven 3 and in the morning Today stormy weather for is red being overcast the heaven. The face of the heaven ye know to discern, but the signs of the times can ye not? 5 A generation evil and adulterous a sign seeks, and a sign shall not be given to it except the sign of Jonah. And leaving them he went away. 5 And (then) coming the disciples to the other side they forgot loaves to take. And Jesus said to them: 6 Beware and take heed from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 7 But they reasoned among

themselves saying Loaves not we took. 8 But knowing Jesus said: Why reason ye among yourselves little-faith because loaves ye have not? 9 Do ye not yet understand neither remember ye the five loaves of the five thousand and how many baskets ye took? 10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many baskets ye took? 11 How do ye not understand that not concerning loaves I said to you? But take heed from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. 12 Then they understood that not he said to take heed from the leaven of the loaves, but from the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. (Note: Again, the paragraph falls into two halves, the 2nd a commentary on the first)

19 Builds

16:13-19

. .on this rock I will build of me the church

16:13 And (then) coming the Jesus into the parts of Caesarea of Philip he questioned the disciples of him saying. Whom say the men to be the Son of man? 14 And they said: Some indeed John the Baptist, and others Elias, and others Jeremias or one of the prophets. 15 He says to them: But ye whom me say to be? 16 And answering Simon Peter said: 17 Thou art

the Christ the Son of God of the living. And answering Jesus said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Barjonas because flesh and blood did not reveal to thee but the Father of me in the heavens. 18 And I also to thee say; Thou art Peter, and on this rock I will build of me the church and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.

20 Foresees

16:21-28

Some here by no means taste death

16:21 From then began Jesus Christ to show to the disciples of him that it behoves him to Jerusalem to go and many things to suffer from the elders and chief priests and scribes and to be killed and on the third day to be raised. 22 And taking him Peter began to rebuke him saying: Propitious to thee Lord: by no means shall be to thee this. 23 But he turning said to Peter: Go behind me Satan: an offence thou art of me, because thou thinkest not the things of God but the things of men. 24 Then the Jesus said to the disciples of him: If anyone wishes after me to come, let him deny himself and let him take the cross of him, and let him follow

me. 25 For whoever wishes the life of him to save, he will lose it; and whoever loses the life of him for the sake of me, he will find it. 26 What for will be benefited a man, if the world whole he should gain, but the soul of him loses? or what will give a man an exchange of the sol of him? 27 is about For the Son of man to come in the glory of the Father of him with the angels of him, and then he will reward to each man according to the conduct of him. 28 Truly I say to you There are some of the ones here standing who by no means may taste of death until they see the Son of man coming tin the kingdom of him.

Son of man about to suffer

17:1 And after days six takes the Jesus the Peter and James and John the brother of him, and leads up them to mountain a high privately. 2 And he was transfigured before them, and shone the face of him as the sun, and the garments of him became white as the light. 3 And behold was seen by them Moses and Elias conversing with him. 4 And answering the Peter said to Jesus: Lord, good it is as here to be: if thou willest, I will make here three tents, for thee one and for Moses one and for Elias one. 5 While he was yet speaking, behold could a bright overshadowed them, and behold a voice out of the cloud saying: This is the son of me the beloved, in whom I was well pleased: hear ye him. 6 And hearing the disciples fell on the face of them and feared exceedingly.

7 And approached the Jesus and touching them said: Rise and do not fear. 8 And lifting up the eyes of them no one they saw except himself Jesus only. 9 And (when) coming down them out of the mountain enjoined them the Jesus saying: To no one tell the vision until the Son of man out of dead be raised. 10 And questioned him the disciples saying: Why then the scribes say that Elias it behoves to come first? 11 And he answering said: Elias indeed is coming and will restore all things; 12 But I tell you that Elias already came, and they did no recognise him, but did by him whatever things they wished; thus also the Son of man is about to suffer by them. 13 Then understood the disciples that concerning John the Baptist he spoke to them.

17:14-20

.. Nothing will be impossible to you

17:14 And (when) they coming to the crowd approached to him a man falling on knees to him 15 and saying: Lord pity of me the son, because he is moonstruck and ill has; for often he falls into the fire and often into the water. 16. And I brought him to the disciples of thee, and not they were able him to heal. 17 answering And Jesus said: O generation unbelieving and having been perverted, until when with you shall I be? until when shall I endure you?

bring to me him here. 18 and rebuked it the Jesus and came out from him the demon., and was healed the boy from the hour that. 19 The approaching the disciples to Jesus privately said: Why we were not able to expel it? 20 And he says to them: Because of the little faith of you; for truly I say to you, if ye have faith as a grain of mustard, ye will say mountain to this: Remove hence there, and it will be removed, and nothing will be impossible to you. (there is no v 21 in RSV)

23 Grieves

17:22-23

...Grieved

17:22 And (when) strolling them in Galilee said to them Jesus: is about the Son of man to be delivered into the hands of

men, 23 and they will kill him, and on the third day he will be raised. And they were grieved exceedingly.

24 Pays dues

17:24-27

.. Give them (money) for me and thee

17:24 And (when) coming them to Capernaum approached the ones the didrachmae ? receiving Peter and said: The teacher of you not pays drachmae. He says: Yes 25 And coming into the house preceded him Jesus saying: What to thee seems it Simon the kings of the earth from whom do they take toll or poll-tax from the sons of

them or from strangers 26 And he saying From strangers, said to him Jesus Then free are the sons. 27 But lest we should offend them, going to the sea cast a hook and the coming first fish take and opening the mouth of it thou wilt find a stater; that taking give them for me and thee.

25. Is present

18:1-20

Where 2 or 3 assembled there am I

18:1 In that hour approached the disciples to Jesus saying: Who then greater is in the kingdom of the heavens? 2 And calling forward a child he set him in the midst of them 3 and said Truly I say t you, except ye turn and become as children, by no means may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens. 4 He who Therefore will humble himself as a child this, this one is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens. 5 And whoever receives one child such in the name of me, me receives; 6 and whoever offends one little ones of these believing in me, it is expedient for him that be hanged an upper millstone round the neck of him and the be drowned in the depth of the sea. 7 Woe to the world from offences; for it is necessity to come offences, but woe to the man through whom the offence comes. 8 Now if the hand of thee or the foot of thee offends thee, cut off it and cast from thee; good for thee it is to enter into life maimed or lame, than two hands or two feet having to be cast into the fire eternal. 9 And if the eye of thee offends thee, pluck out it and cast from thee; good for thee it is one-eyed into the life to enter, than two eyes having to be cast into the gehenna of fire. 10 See that not ye despise one little ones of thee for I tell you that the angels of them in heavens always see the face of the Father of me in heavens. 12 What to

you seems it? if there to any man a hundred sheep and wanders one of them, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and going seeks the wandering one? 13 And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the nine-nine not having wandered. 14 So it is not the will before the Father of you in heavens that should perish one little ones of these. 15 Now if sins the brother of thee go reprove him between thee and him alone. If thee he hears, thou gainedst the brother of thee; 16 but if not he hears, take with thee more one or two, that on by the mouth of two witnesses or three may be established every word; 17 but if he refuses to hear them, tell to the church; and if even the church he refuses to hear, let him be to thee as the gentile and the tax-collector. 18 Truly I say to you whatever things ye bind on the earth shall be having been bound in heaven, and whatever thins ye loose on the earth shall having been loosed in heaven. 19 Again truly I say to you that if two agree of you on the earth concerning every thing whatever they ask, it shall be to them from the Father of me in heavens. 20 For where are two or three having been assembled in my name, there I am in the midst of them.

26. . . . . Forgives. . . .

18:21-35

Forgive brother of him from heart

18:21 Then approaching the Peter said to him: Lord how often will sin against me the brother of me and I will forgive him until seven times? 22 Says to him the Jesus; I tell not to thee until seven times, but until seventy times seven. 23 Therefore was is likened the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king, who wished to take account with the slaves of him. 24 And beginning him to take, was brought forward one to him debtor of ten thousand talents. 25 And not having him to repay, commanded him the Lord to be sold and the wife and the children and all things whatever he has and to be repaid. 26 Falling therefore the slave did obeisance to him saying: Defer anger over me, and all things I will repay thee. 27 And filled with tenderness the lord slave of that released him, and the loan forgave him. 28 But going out slave that found one of the fellow-slaves

of him, who owed him a hundred denarii, and seizing him throttled saying: Repay if something thou owest. 29 Falling therefore the fellow-slave of him besought him saying: Defer anger over me, and I will repay thee. 30 But he not wished, but going away three him into prison until he should repay the thing owing. 31 Seeing therefore the fellow-slaves of him the things having taken place they were grieved exceedingly, and coming explained to the lord of themselves all the things having taken place. 32 Then calling forward him the lord of him says to him: Slave wicked, all debts that I forgave thee, since thou besoughtest me; 33 did it not behove also thee to pit the fellow-slave of thee, as I also thee pitied? 34 And being angry the lord of him delivered him to the tormentors until he should repay all the things owning to him. 35 Thus also the Father of me the heavenly will do to you, unless ye forgive each one the brother of him from the hearts of you. .

Note key positions of "forgive" in Matthew c/f middle of Section C and end of Section D. It also is in middle of concentric circle on Law in Mark . It occurs at end of Gospel of Luke and is spoken by Jesus on the cross. It also appears to be stressed in a forgiveness theme re disciples at end of Matthew's gospel .

19:1 And it came to pass when ended the Jesus words these, he removed from Galilee and came into the borders of Judaea across the Jordan. 2 And followed him crowds many, and he healed them there.
