Mark 8
1 In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near His disciples, says to them,
In those days, the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said to them:
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they have not what they may eat;
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 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.”
And if I send them home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.
4 And His disciples answered Him, “From where will anyone be able to feed these here in a wilderness with bread?”
And his disciples answered him: Whence will any one be able to satisfy these men with bread, here in the wilderness?
5 And He was questioning them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
And he asked them: How many loaves have you? And they said: Seven.
6 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.
And he commanded the multitude to recline on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before them: and they set them before the multitude.
7 And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, He said to set them also before [them];
And they had a few small fishes; and he blessed, and commanded that they also be set before them.
8 and they ate and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces—seven baskets;

9 and those eating were about four thousand. And He let them away,

10 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 dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from Heaven, tempting Him;
And the Pharisees came out, and began to put questions to him, asking of him a sign from heaven, that they might tempt him.
12 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.”
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said: Why does this generation seek for a sign? Verily I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.
13 And having left them, having entered again into the boat, He went away to the other side;
And he left them, and entered the ship again, and departed to the opposite side.
14 and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,

15 and He was charging them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,”

16 and they were reasoning with one another, saying, “Because we have no loaves.”
And they reasoned with one another, saying: It is because we have no bread.
17 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?
And Jesus perceived it, and said to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive, nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, do you not hear? and do you not remember?
19 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.”
When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to him: Twelve.
20 “And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
When I broke the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They replied: Seven.
21 And He said to them, “How do you not understand?”

22 And He comes to Bethsaida, and they bring to Him one blind, and call on Him that He may touch him,

23 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:
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village. And he spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, and asked him if he saw any thing.
24 and he, having looked up, said, “I behold men, as I see trees, walking.”
And he looked up and said: I see men, like trees, walking.
25 Afterward again He put [His] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,

And he sent him away to his house, and said: Neither go into the village, nor tell it to any one in the village.
27 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?”
And Jesus and his disciples went out into the villages of Cæsarea Philippi. And on the road, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Who do men say that I am?
28 And they answered, “John the Immerser, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.”
They answered: John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.
29 And He says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?” And Peter answering says to him, “You are the Christ.”
And he said to them: But who say you that I am? Peter answered and said to him: Thou art the Christ.
30 And He strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,

31 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;
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 the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again.
32 and openly He was speaking the word. And Peter having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him,
And he spoke this saying plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33 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.”
But he turned about, and, looking on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying: Get behind me, adversary: for you are not thinking of the things of God, but of the things of men.
34 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;
And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them: Whoever determines to follow after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 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;
For whoever will save his life, shall lose it; but whoever will lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, shall save it.
36 for what will it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
For what will it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own life?
37 Or what will a man give as an exchange for his life?
Or, what will a man give as a ransom for his life?
38 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.”
For whoever will be ashamed of me, and my words, in this sinful and adulterous generation, of him the Son of man also will be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.
