16. And He took the five loaves and the two fish; and looking up to heaven, He offered the bracha and broke them. And He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
17. Then they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of the fragments.
18. Once when Yeshua was praying alone and His disciples were near, He put a question to them, saying, “Who do the crowds say that I am?”
19. They replied, “John the Immerser, but others Elijah, and others that some prophet from among the ancients has arisen.”
20. Then He said to them, “But who do you that say I am?” Then Peter answered and said, “The Messiah of God.”
21. But Yeshua warned them, and He ordered them not to tell this to anyone,
22. saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and ruling kohanim and Torah scholars, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”
23. Then Yeshua was saying to everyone, “If anyone wants to follow Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross every day, and follow Me.
24. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
25. “For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses or forfeits himself?
26. For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory and the glory of the Father and the holy angels.
