Mark 8
1 In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself and said to them,
In those days, there being, again a large multitude, and they not having any thing to eat, calling near the disciples, he saith unto them—
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
I am moved with compassion towards the multitude, because, already three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat;
3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
and, if dismiss them fasting unto their home, they will be exhausted in the way, —and, certain of them, are, from afar.
4 His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
And his disciples answered him—Whence shall any one be able, here, to fill, these, with bread, in a desert?
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
And he was questioning them—How many loaves have ye? and they said—Seven.
6 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.
And he sendeth word to the multitude, to fall back upon the ground. And, taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he brake, and was giving unto his disciples, that they might be setting before them; and they set before the multitude.
7 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
And they had a few small fishes; and, blessing them, he bade them set, these also, before them.
8 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
And they did eat, and were filled, and took up remainders of broken pieces, seven hampers.
9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
Now they were about four thousand; and he dismissed them.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
And, straightway, entering into the boat with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha;
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
and forth came the Pharisees, and began discussing with him, seeking of him, a sign from the heaven, testing him.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
And, deeply sighing in his spirit, he saith—Why, doth this generation seek, a sign? Verily, I say—there shall, not be given, to this generation, a sign.
13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
And leaving them, again, embarking, he departed unto the other side.
14 They forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
And they forgot to take loaves, and, save one loaf, they had nothing with them in the boat.
15 He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
And he began charging them, saying—Mind! beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod!
16 They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
And they began deliberating one with another, because they had no loaves.
17 Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Do not you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened?
And, taking note, he saith unto them—Why do ye deliberate, because ye have no, loaves? Not yet perceive ye, neither understand, —keep ye your hearts, hardened?
18 Having eyes, do not you see? Having ears, do not you hear? Do not you remember?
Eyes having, see ye not? and ears having, hear ye not? and remember ye not
19 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Twelve.”
when, the five loaves, I brake unto the five thousand, how many baskets, full of broken pieces, ye took up? They say unto him—Twelve, —
20 “When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.”
When the seven, unto the four thousand, how many hampers, full measure, of broken pieces, ye took up? And they say unto him—Seven. And he was saying unto them—
21 He asked them, “Do not you understand yet?”
Not yet, do ye understand?
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
And they come into Bethsaida. And they bring unto him one blind, and beseech him that him, he would touch.
23 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
And, laying hold of the hand of the blind man, he brought him forth outside the village, and, spitting into his eyes, laying his hands upon him, he was asking him—Anything, seest thou?
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
and, looking up, he was saying—I see men, because, like trees, I behold them walking
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
Then again, put he his hands upon his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and was seeing distinctly, in broad splendour, all things together.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Do not enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
And he sent him away unto his house, saying—Not even into the village, mayest thou enter.
27 Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
And forth went Jesus and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea of Philip. And, in the way, he was questioning his disciples, saying unto them—Who, are men saying that I am?
28 They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
And they answered him, saying—John the Immerser, and, others, Elijah, —and, others, One of the prophets.
29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
And, he, went on to question them—But, who, say, ye, that I am? Peter, answering, saith unto him—Thou, art, the Christ.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
And he straitly charged them, that, no one, they should tell concerning him.
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
And he began to be teaching them—The Son of Man, must needs suffer many things, and be rejected by the Elders and the High-priests and the Scribes, —and be slain; and, after three days, arise.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
And, openly, was he speaking the word. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
33 But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”
But, he, turning round and looking upon his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith—Withdraw behind me, Satan! because thou art not regarding the things, of God, but the things, of men.
34 He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
And, calling near the multitude with his disciples, he said unto them—If anyone willeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me.
35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
For, whosoever willeth, his own life, to save, shall lose it, but, whosoever shall lose his life for the sake [of me and] of the glad-message, shall save it;
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
For, what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and be made to forfeit his life?
37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
For what can a man, give, in exchange for his life?
38 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
For, whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also, will be ashamed, of him, whensoever he shall come, in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.
