Mark 8
1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and saith unto them,
In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near His disciples, says to them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
“I have compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they have not what they may eat;
3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
and if I will let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.”
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
And His disciples answered Him, “From where will anyone be able to feed these here in a wilderness with bread?”
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
And He was questioning them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
6 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.
And He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, He broke, and was giving to His disciples that they may set before [them]; and they set before the multitude.
7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].
And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, He said to set them also before [them];
8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets.
and they ate and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces—seven baskets;
9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
and those eating were about four thousand. And He let them away,
10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
and immediately having entered into the boat with His disciples, He came to the parts of Dalmanutha,
11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from Heaven, tempting Him;
12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
and having sighed deeply in His spirit, He says, “Why does this generation seek after a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
And having left them, having entered again into the boat, He went away to the other side;
14 Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
and He was charging them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,”
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no bread.
and they were reasoning with one another, saying, “Because we have no loaves.”
17 And when Jesus knew [it], he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
And Jesus having known, says to them, “Why do you reason, because you have no loaves? Do you not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have you hardened your heart?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
When I broke the five loaves to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They say to Him, “Twelve.”
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
“And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
And He said to them, “How do you not understand?”
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
And He comes to Bethsaida, and they bring to Him one blind, and call on Him that He may touch him,
23 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.
and having taken the hand of the blind man, He led him forth outside the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [His] hands on him, He was questioning him if he beholds anything:
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
and he, having looked up, said, “I behold men, as I see trees, walking.”
25 After that he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
Afterward again He put [His] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in the town.
and He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither may you go into the village, nor tell [it] to any in the village.”
27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
And Jesus went forth, and His disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and in the way He was questioning His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say I am?”
28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
And they answered, “John the Immerser, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.”
29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
And He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?” And Peter answering says to him, “You are the Christ.”
30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
And He strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,
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 scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
and began to teach them that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to rise again after three days;
32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
and openly He was speaking the word. And Peter having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him,
33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
and He, having turned, and having looked on His disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan, because you do not mind the things of God, but the things of men.”
34 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.
And having called near the multitude, with His disciples, He said to them, “Whoever wills to come after Me—let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me;
35 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.
for whoever may will to save his life will lose it; and whoever may lose his life for My sake and for the good news’ sake, he will save it;
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
for what will it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Or what will a man give as an exchange for his life?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
For whoever may be ashamed of Me, and of My words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He may come in the glory of His Father with the holy messengers.”
