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,
And in those days, when the multitude was great, and had nothing to eat, he called his disciples, and said to 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 compassionate this multitude; for, lo, three days have they continued with me, and they 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 to their homes fasting, they will faint by the way: for some of them have come from a great distance.
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to satisfy these with bread here in a desert place?
His disciples say to him: Whence can one, here in the desert, satisfy all these with bread?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? They say to him, 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 directed the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and blessed, and brake, and grave to his disciples to set forth; and they set before the multitudes.
7 And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed them, he desired these also to be set before [them].
And there were a few fishes; and them he also blessed, and ordered them set forth.
8 And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up of fragments that remained seven baskets.
And they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up seven baskets of the remaining fragments.
9 And they [that had eaten] were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
And the men who had eaten, were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 And immediately going on board ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
And immediately he entered a ship, with his disciples, and came to the place Dalmanutha.
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 out, and began to dispute with him; and, to tempt him, they demanded of him a sign from heaven.
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 with his breath, and said: Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.
13 And he left them, and going again on board ship, went away to the other side.
And he left them, and embarked in the ship; and they passed to the other shore.
14 And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not [any] with them in the ship.
And they had forgotten to take bread with them, and had but a single cake in the ship with them.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and [of] the leaven of Herod.
And he charged them, and said to them: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned with one another, [saying], It is because we have no bread.
And they reasoned one with another, and said: 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 Jesus knew it, and said to them: Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? Do ye still not know, nor understand? How long will your heart be hard?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
and ye have eyes, but see not? and have ears, but hear not, nor reflect?
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 broke the five loaves to five thousand, how many baskets full of the fragments took ye up? They say to him: Twelve.
20 And when the seven for the four thousand, the filling of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
He saith to them. And when the seven to four thousand, how many baskets full of the fragments took ye up? They say: Seven.
21 And he said to them, How do ye not yet understand?
He saith to them: Why is it that, to this time, ye do not consider?
22 And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and beseech him that he might touch him.
And he came to Bethsaida: and they brought to him a blind man, 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 village, and spit on his eyes, and laid on his hand: and asked him, what he saw.
24 And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see [them], as trees, walking.
And he gazed, and said: I see men like trees which walk.
25 Then he laid his hands again upon his eyes, and he saw distinctly, and was restored and saw all things clearly.
Again he laid his hand on his eyes, and he was recovered, and saw every thing plainly.
26 And he sent him to his house, saying, Neither enter into the village, nor tell [it] to any one in the village.
And he sent him to his house, and said to him: Neither enter into the village, nor tell any person in the village.
27 And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?
And Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And he asked his disciples by the way, and said to them: Who, do men say of me, that I am?
28 And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.
And they said to him: That thou art John the Baptizer; and others: That thou art Elijah; and others: That thou art one of the prophets.
29 And he asked them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, Thou art the Christ.
Jesus said to them: And who, do ye yourselves say of me, that I am? Simon replied, and said to him: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
30 And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about him.
And he charged them, that they should say this of him to no person.
31 And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and of the chief priests and of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise [again].
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man was about to suffer much, and be rejected by the Elders and by the chief priests and by the Scribes, and be killed, and rise on the third day.
32 And he spoke the thing openly. And Peter, taking him to [him], began to rebuke him.
And he spoke out the thing distinctly. And Cephas 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 he turned, and looked upon his disciples, and rebuked Simon, and said: Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not consider what is of God, but what is 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 Jesus called the multitude, together with his disciples, and said to them: Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and come after 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, whoever will preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life on my account, and on account of my tidings, shall preserve it.
36 For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life?
37 for what should a man give in exchange for his soul?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
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.
For, whoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this sinful and adulterous generation, of him also will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels.
