The Diatessaron of Tatian
[1] [1606]And Jesus departed thence, and came to the side of the sea of Galilee, and went [2] up into the mountain, and sat there. [1607]And there came unto him great multitudes, having with them lame, and blind, and dumb, and maimed, and many others, and [3] they cast them at the feet of Jesus: [1608]for they had seen all the signs which he did in [4] Jerusalem, when they were gathered at the feast. [1609]And he healed them all. [1610]And those multitudes marvelled when they saw dumb men speak, and maimed men healed, and lame men walk, and blind men see; and they praised the God of Israel.
[5] [1611]And Jesus called his disciples, and said unto them, I have compassion on this multitude, because of their continuing with me three days, having nothing to eat; and to send them away fasting I am not willing, lest they faint in the way, [1612]some of them having [6] [Arabic, p. 89] come from far. [1613]His disciples said unto him, Whence have we in the desert [7] bread wherewith to satisfy all this multitude? [1614]Jesus said unto them, How [8] many loaves have ye? [1615]They said unto him, Seven, and a few small fishes. And he [9] commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground; [1616]and he took those seven loaves and the fish, and blessed, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before [10] them; and the disciples set before the multitudes. [1617]And they all ate, and were satisfied: and they took that which remained over of the fragments, seven basketfuls. [11] [1618]And the people that ate were four thousand men, besides the women and children. [12] [1619]And when the multitudes departed, he went up into the boat, and came to the borders of Magada.[1620]
[13] [1621]And the Pharisees and Sadducees came to him, and began to seek a discussion with him. And they asked him to shew them a sign from heaven, tempting him. [14] [1622]And Jesus sighed within himself, and said, What sign seeketh this evil and adulterous generation? It seeketh a sign, and it shall not be given a sign, except the sign [15] of Jonah the prophet. [1623]Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not be given a [16] sign. [1624]And he left[1625] them, and went up into the boat, and went away to that side.
[17] [1626]And his disciples forgot to take with them bread, and there was not with them [18] in the boat, not even[1627] one loaf. [1628]And Jesus charged them, and said, Take heed, and guard yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, and from the [19] leaven of Herod. [1629]And they reflected within themselves that they had taken with them [20] no bread. [1630]And Jesus knew, and said unto them, Why[1631] think ye within yourselves, O ye of little faith, and are anxious, because ye have no bread? [1632]until now do ye not perceive, [21] neither understand? is your heart yet hard? [1633]And have ye eyes, and yet see not? [22] [Arabic, p. 90] and have ye ears, and yet hear not? [1634]and do ye not remember when I brake those five loaves for five thousand? and how many baskets full of broken [23] pieces took ye[1635] up? They said, Twelve. [1636]He said unto them, And the seven also for four thousand: how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye[1637] up? They [24] said, Seven. [1638]He said unto them, How have ye not understood that I spake not to you because of[1639] the bread, but that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees [25] and Sadducees? [1640]Then they understood that he spake, not that they should beware of the leaven of the bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees, which he called leaven.
[26] [1641]And after that, he came to Bethsaida. And they brought to him a certain[1642] blind [27] man, and besought him that he would touch him. [1643]And he took the hand of that blind man, and led him out without the village, and spat in his eyes, and laid his [28] hand on him,[1644] and asked him, What seest thou? [1645]And that blind man looked intently, [29] and said unto him, I see men as trees walking. [1646]And he placed his hand [30] again on his eyes; and they were restored,[1647] and he saw everything clearly. [1648]And he sent him to his house, and said, Do not enter even into the village, nor tell any man in the village.
[31] [1649]And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Cæsarea Philippi. [32] [1650]And while he was going in the way, and his disciples alone,[1651] he asked his disciples, [33] and said, What do men say of me that I am, the Son of man?[1652] [1653]They said unto him, Some say, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the [34, 35] prophets. [1654]He said unto them, And ye, what say ye that I am? [1655]Simon Cephas answered [36] [Arabic, p. 91] and said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God. [1656]Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon son of Jonah: flesh and [37] blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [1657]And I say unto thee also, that thou art Cephas,[1658] and on this rock will I build my church; and the [38] gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. [1659]To thee will I give the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and [39] whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. [1660]And he sternly charged his disciples, and warned them that they should not tell any man concerning him, [40] that he was the Messiah. [1661]And henceforth began Jesus to shew to his disciples [41] that he was determined[1662] to go to Jerusalem, [1663]and suffer much, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and of the scribes, and be killed, and on the [42] third day rise. [1664]And he was speaking[1665] plainly. [1666]And Simon Cephas, as one grieved [43] for him, said, Far be thou, my Lord, from that. [1667]And he turned, and looked upon [44] his disciples, and rebuked Simon, and said, [1668]Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou art a stumblingblock unto me: for thou thinkest not of what pertains to God, but of what pertains to men.
[45] [1669]And Jesus called the multitudes with his disciples, and said unto them, Whosoever would come after me, let him deny himself, and take his cross every day, and [46] come after me. [1670]And whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever [47] loseth his life for my sake, and for the sake of my gospel, shall save it. [1671]What shall [48] a man profit, if he gain all the world, and destroy[1672] his own life,[1673] or lose it? [1674]or what [49] [Arabic, p. 92] will a man give in ransom for his life?[1675] [1676]Whosoever shall deny me and my sayings in this sinful and adulterous generation, the Son of man also will [50] deny him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with his holy angels. [1677]For the Son of man is about to[1678] come in the glory of his Father with his holy angels; and then shall he reward each man according to his works.
