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, when there was a very large crowd that had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples over 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 crowd because they have stayed with me now for 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.”
If I send them away to their homes without having eaten, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come from far away.”
4 And His disciples answered Him, “From where will anyone be able to feed these here in a wilderness with bread?”
His disciples answered him, “How can anyone feed these people with bread here in the wilderness?”
5 And He was questioning them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” 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.
So he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they set them before the crowd.
7 And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, He said to set them also before [them];
They also had a few small fish. After blessing the fish, Jesus told the disciples to set them before the crowd as well.
8 and they ate and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces—seven baskets;
The people ate and were filled, and the disciples picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.
9 and those eating were about four thousand. And He let them away,
There were about four thousand men who had eaten. After sending them away,
10 and immediately having entered into the boat with His disciples, He came to the parts of Dalmanutha,
Jesus immediately got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from Heaven, tempting Him;
Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test 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.”
Sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly 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;
Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went away to the other side of the sea.
14 and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,
Now the disciples had forgotten to bring bread, and they had nothing with them in the boat except for one loaf.
15 and He was charging them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,”
Then Jesus gave them strict orders, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 and they were reasoning with one another, saying, “Because we have no loaves.”
So they discussed this with one another, saying, “He must have said this 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?
Aware of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts 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? 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 for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick 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.”
“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” They said, “Seven.”
21 And He said to them, “How do you not understand?”
Then he said to them, “How is it that you do not understand?”
22 And He comes to Bethsaida, and they bring to Him one blind, and call on Him that He may touch him,
When Jesus came to Bethsaida, some people brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to 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:
So he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then he spit on the man's eyes, laid his hands on him, and asked him if he saw anything.
24 and he, having looked up, said, “I behold men, as I see trees, walking.”
The man looked up and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25 Afterward again He put [His] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,
So Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes again and had him look up. Then the man's sight was restored, and he saw everyone clearly.
26 and He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither may you go into the village, nor tell [it] to any in the village.”
And Jesus sent him away to his house, saying, “Do not go into the village or tell anyone in the village what has happened.”
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?”
Then Jesus went on to the villages of Caesarea Philippi along with his disciples. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”
28 And they answered, “John the Immerser, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.”
They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others say that yoʋ are 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.”
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “Yoʋ are the Christ.”
30 And He strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,
And Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
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;
Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.
32 and openly He was speaking the word. And Peter having taken Him aside, began to rebuke Him,
He was stating the matter plainly, so 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 turning around and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind me, Satan! For yoʋ are not thinking about the things of God, but 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;
Then he called the crowd over, along with his disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to be one of my disciples, he must deny himself, 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 wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the sake of the gospel will 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 benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul?
37 Or what will a man give as an exchange for his life?
Or what can a person give in exchange for his soul?
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.”
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
