Mark 8
1 In those days, the multitude being very large and not having anything to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them:
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and saith to them,
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me three days now and have nothing to eat.
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will give out on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for some of them came from a distance.
4 His disciples answered Him, “From what source could anyone satisfy these people with bread here in a wilderness?”
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 So He told the crowd to sit down on the ground; then taking the seven loaves and giving thanks, He broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before the crowd, and they did.
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they set [them] before the people.
7 They also had a few small fish; so blessing them He said to distribute them as well.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].
8 Well they ate and were filled; they even took up seven hampers of broken pieces that were left over.
So they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that were left, seven baskets.
9 Now those who had eaten were about four thousand; and He sent them away.
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he dismissed them.
10 Then He got right into the boat with His disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
And forthwith he entered into a boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, requesting of Him a sign from heaven, by way of testing Him.
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 But He sighed deeply in His spirit and said: “Why does this generation seek a sign? I tell you emphatically, no sign shall be given to this generation!”
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Verily I say to you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.
13 Turning His back on them, He got back into the boat and went off to the other side.
And he left them, and entering into the boat again, departed to the other side.
14 (His disciples had forgotten to take bread; they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.)
Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the boat with them more than one loaf.
15 And He charged them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
And he charged them saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
16 So they started reasoning among themselves, saying, “It's because we have no bread.”
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no bread.
17 Being aware of it Jesus said to them: “Why are you reasoning because you have no bread? Do you still neither perceive nor understand? Do you still have hearts that have been hardened?
And when Jesus knew [it], he saith to them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear, and do you not remember?
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you take up?” They say to Him, “Twelve.”
When I divided the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve.
20 “And when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of pieces did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 So He said to them, “How is it that you still don't understand?”
And he said to them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man to him, and besought him to touch him.
23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; then spitting into his eyes and laying hands on him, He asked him if he saw 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 aught.
24 And looking up he said, “I do see men, only they look like walking trees.”
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees walking.
25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again, and made him look up; and he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
After that, he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the village nor tell anyone in the village.”
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in the town.
27 Then Jesus and His disciples set out for the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who are people saying that I am?”
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?
28 So they answered, “John the Baptist; others Elijah; still others one of the prophets.”
And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elijah; and others, One of the prophets,
29 He said to them, “And who do you say that I am?” So Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ!”
And he saith to them, But who say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith to him, Thou art the Christ.
30 Then He charged them that they should tell no one about Him.
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 He then began to teach them that the Son of the Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 He said these things quite plainly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
And he spoke that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But He turned, looked at His disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying: “Get behind me, Satan! You have in mind men's values, not God's values.”
But when he had turned about, and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savorest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.
34 He summoned the crowd, along with His disciples, and said to them: “Whoever wants to follow along behind me must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
And when he had called the people [to him] with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Because whoever may resolve to ‘save’ his life will waste it; but whoever may ‘waste’ his life for my sake and the Gospel's, he will save it.
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 Well, what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul:
37 Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of the Man will also be ashamed of Him whenever He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy Angels.”
Whoever therefore shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
