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 again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith 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, for behold they have now been with me 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 shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.
4 His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?
5 He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who 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 taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.
7 They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.
8 They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.
9 Now they were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
And they that 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 immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts 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 forth, and began to question with him, asking him a sign from heaven, tempting 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 sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation.
13 And he left them, and got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
And leaving them, he went up again into the ship, and passed to the other side of the water.
14 Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
And they forgot 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 among themselves, saying: 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?
Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? do you not yet know nor understand? have you still your heart blinded?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
Having eyes, see you not? and having ears, hear you not? neither do you 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 five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say 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 also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments took you up? And they say to him, Seven.
21 He asked them, "Do you not yet understand?"
And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged Jesus to touch him.
And they came to Bethsaida; and they bring to him a blind man, and they besought him that he would 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 taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town; and spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing.
24 He looked up, and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking."
And looking up, he said: I see men as it were trees, walking.
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He made him look up, and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes, and he began to see, and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, "Do not enter into the village."
And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if thou enter into the town, tell nobody.
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 went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom 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."
Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as 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 Messiah."
Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of 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 ancients and by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed: and after three days rise again.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him, 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."
Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the things that are of God, but that are 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 calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow 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 gospel will save it.
For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.
36 For what does it profit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
37 Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
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 he that 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, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
