Mark 8
1 In those days, when there was a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat, he called the disciples to himself, and said 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 crowd, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have continued with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come a long way."
And if I send them home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.
4 His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
And his disciples answered him: Whence will any one be able to satisfy these men with bread, here in the wilderness?
5 He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
And he asked them: How many loaves have you? And they said: Seven.
6 He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the crowd.
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 They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
And they had a few small fishes; and he blessed, and commanded that they also be set before them.
8 They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up what remained of the broken pieces, seven baskets.
9 Now they were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
And those who had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
And he immediately entered the ship with his disciples, and went into the regions of Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing 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 He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I tell 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 he left them, and got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
And he left them, and entered the ship again, and departed to the opposite side.
14 Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
And they had forgotten to take bread; and they had but one loaf with them in the ship.
15 He warned them, saying, "Watch out; guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."
And he charged them, saying: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they began discussing among themselves that they had no bread.
And they reasoned with one another, saying: It is because we have no bread.
17 He, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Do you not perceive yet, neither understand? Are your hearts hardened?
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? Having ears, do you not hear? 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 among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told 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 "When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many 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 He asked them, "Do you not yet understand?"
And he said to them: How is it that you do not understand?
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged Jesus to touch him.
And he came to Bethsaida; and they brought to him a blind man, and besought him to touch him.
23 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his 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 village. And he spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, and asked him if he saw any thing.
24 He looked up, and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking."
And he looked up and said: I see men, like trees, walking.
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He made him look up, and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
Then he again laid his hands on his eyes, and made him look up. And he was restored, and saw all things clearly.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, "Do not enter into the village."
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 Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that 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 said to him, saying, "John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, but others: one of the prophets."
They answered: John the Immerser; and others, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.
29 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said 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 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
And he charged them to tell no one concerning him.
31 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 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 the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
And he spoke this saying plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33 But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan. For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of humans."
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 He called the crowd to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny 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 wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News 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 does it profit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
For what will it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own life?
37 Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?
Or, what will a man give as a ransom for his life?
38 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
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.
