Rh And they reasoned among them selves saying: Because we have not bread. Which knowing, saith to them: Why doe you reason, because you have not bread? doe you not yet know nor understand? yet have ye your hart blinded? having eyes see you not? and having eares heare you not? Neither doe you remember? When * I brake five loaves among five thousand; and how many baskets ful of fragments tooke you up? They say to him: Twelve. * When also seaven loaves among foure thousand, how many maundes of fragments tooke you up? And they say to him: Seaven. And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?

And they come to Bethsaida; and they bring to him one blind, and desired him that he would touch him. And taking the hand of the blind, he led him forth out of the towne; and spitting into his eyes, imposing his hands, he asked him if he saw anything. And looking up, he said: I see men as it were trees, walking. After that againe he imposed his hands upon his eyes, and be began to see, and was restored, so that he saw al things clerely.

And * went forth and his Disciples into the townes of Cæsaréa-Philippi; and in the way he asked his Disciples, saying to them: Whom doe men say that I am? Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist, some Elias, & other some as it were one of the Prophets. Then he saith to them, But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art Christ. And he threatned them that they should not tel any man of him.

And he began to teach them, that the Sonne of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the Ancients and of the high Priests & the Scribes, and be killed: and after three daies rise againe. And he spake the Word openly. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him. Who turning, and seeing his Disciples, threatned Peter, saying: Goe behind me Satan, because thou savourest not the things that are of God, but that are of men. And calling the multitude together with his Disciples, he said to them: If any man wil folow me, let him deny himself, and take up his crosse, and folow me. For he that wil save his life, shal lose it; and he that shal lose his life ″ for me and the Ghospel, shal save it. For what shal it profit a man, if he ″ gaine the whole world, & suffer damage of his soule? Or what permutation shal a man give for his soule? For he that shal be ashamed of me, and of my wordes in this advouterous and sinful Generation, the Sonne of man also wil be ashamed of him, when he shal come in the glorie of his Father with the holy Angels.
