< Mark 8 >

1 In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to [him], he says to them,
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and says unto them,
2 I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far.
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to satisfy these with bread here in a desert place?
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
And he asked them, How many loaves have all of you? And they said, Seven.
6 And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, that they might set [them] before [them]; and they set [them] before the crowd.
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

8 And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken food that was left seven baskets.
9 And they [that had eaten] were about four thousand; and he sent them away.

11 And the Pharisees went out and began to dispute against him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 And groaning in his spirit, he says, Why does this generation seek a sign? Verily I say unto you, A sign shall in no wise be given to this generation.
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, (pneuma) and says, Why does this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 And he left them, and going again on board ship, went away to the other side.
And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not [any] with them in the ship.

16 And they reasoned with one another, [saying], It is because we have no bread.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 And Jesus knowing [it], says to them, Why reason ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your heart [yet] hardened?
And when Jesus knew it, he says unto them, Why reason all of you, because all of you have no bread? perceive all of you not yet, neither understand? have all of you your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Having eyes, see all of you not? and having ears, hear all of you not? and do all of you not remember?
19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took all of you up? They say unto him, Twelve.

22 And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and beseech him that he might touch him.
And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 And taking hold of the hand of the blind man he led him forth out of the village, and having spit upon his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he beheld anything.
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see [them], as trees, walking.

And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28 And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.
And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.

And he spoke that saying (logos) openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get you behind me, Satan: for you savour not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 for what should a man give in exchange for his soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him shall the Son of man also be ashamed when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words (logos) in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
