Mark 8
1 IN those days the multitude being exceedingly great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus calling his disciples to him, said unto 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, for they have stayed with me already 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 and if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; for many of them came from a great distance.
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, Whence can a man here in the desert satisfy these with bread?
And his disciples answered him—Whence shall any one be able, here, to fill, these, with bread, in a desert?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
And he was questioning them—How many loaves have ye? and they said—Seven.
6 And he commanded the multitude to recline in order on the ground: and taking the seven loaves, having given thanks he brake them, and gave to his disciples, that they should set before the people; and they distributed them to 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 And they had a few small fishes; and blessing, he commanded to set these also before them.
And they had a few small fishes; and, blessing them, he bade them set, these also, before them.
8 And they did eat and were filled and they took up what remained of the fragments, seven baskets.
And they did eat, and were filled, and took up remainders of broken pieces, seven hampers.
9 And the persons who had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
Now they were about four thousand; and he dismissed them.
10 And immediately going into the vessel with his disciples, he came into the coasts of Dalmanutha.
And, straightway, entering into the boat with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha;
11 Then the Pharisees came out, and began to question him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
and forth came the Pharisees, and began discussing with him, seeking of him, a sign from the heaven, testing him.
12 And fetching a deep sigh from his very soul, he saith, Why seeketh this generation a sign? verily I tell you, no sign shall 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 And leaving them, going again on board the vessel, he departed to the other side.
And leaving them, again, embarking, he departed unto the other side.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not with them in the vessel but a single loaf.
And they forgot to take loaves, and, save one loaf, they had nothing with them in the boat.
15 And he earnestly charged them, saying, Beware, take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
And he began charging them, saying—Mind! beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod!
16 And they talked the matter over among themselves, saying, This is because we have no loaves of bread.
And they began deliberating one with another, because they had no loaves.
17 And Jesus knowing it said unto them, Why reason ye together, because ye have no loaves? Do ye not yet consider, nor understand? Have ye your heart yet 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 ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not 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 fragments took ye up? They say unto 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 And when the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They said, 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 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
Not yet, do ye understand?
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and entreat him that he would touch him.
And they come into Bethsaida. And they bring unto him one blind, and beseech him that him, he would touch.
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him without the city; and spitting on his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he saw aught.
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 And looking up, he said, I see men walking, as trees.
and, looking up, he was saying—I see men, because, like trees, I behold them walking
25 Then again he put his hands upon his eyes, and made him look up again: and he was entirely restored, and saw all men distinctly.
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 And he sent him away unto his own house, saying, Neither enter thou into the city, nor speak to any in the city.
And he sent him away unto his house, saying—Not even into the village, mayest thou enter.
27 And Jesus and his disciples went out into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and on the road he asked his disciples, saying unto them, 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 And they answered, John the Baptist: others say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
And they answered him, saying—John the Immerser, and, others, Elijah, —and, others, One of the prophets.
29 And he said unto them, But who do ye say that I am? Then Peter answering, said unto him, Thou art the Messiah.
And, he, went on to question them—But, who, say, ye, that I am? Peter, answering, saith unto him—Thou, art, the Christ.
30 And he strictly enjoined them, that they should tell no man of this.
And he straitly charged them, that, no one, they should tell concerning him.
31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and be slain, 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 And he spake this saying openly. And Peter taking him aside, began to remonstrate with him.
And, openly, was he speaking the word. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
33 But he turned himself around, and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not relish the things which are of God, but those that are 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 Then calling to him the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, Whosoever will 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 whosoever would preserve his life shall lose it; but whosoever would lose his life for my sake and the Gospel, he shall preserve 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 would it profit a man, though he should gain the whole world, if he be punished with the loss of his own soul?
For, what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and be made to forfeit his life?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
For what can a man, give, in exchange for his life?
38 For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, before this adulterous and sinful generation; of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, 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.
