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, there being again a very great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to Him,
2 "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, for 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 send them away fasting to their own home, they will faint by the way; for some of them are come from far.
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 one satisfy these people with bread here in a desert?
5 He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
And He asked them, How many loaves have ye? 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 ordered the people to sit down upon the ground: and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and brake them, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did 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 them, and bid them set them also before the people.
8 They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
And they did eat and were satisfied: and they took up what were left, to wit of 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 then He dismissed them.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
And going directly on board 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 pharirisees came forth, and began to dispute with Him, desiring of 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 He sighing deeply in his spirit, saith, Why doth this generation require a sign? Verily I tell you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.
13 And he left them, and got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
So He left them, and went on board the ship again, and departed to the other side.
14 Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
And his disciples had forgot to take bread, neither had they any more than 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 therefore as He was giving them a charge, saying, Take heed, 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.
they argued one with 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 knowing it saith unto them, What are ye reasoning about? because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet discern nor understand? have ye your heart still hardened?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
Have ye eyes, and do not see? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye 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 brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? They answer, 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."
And when I divided the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? and they said, Seven.
21 He asked them, "Do you not yet understand?"
And He said unto them, How is it then that ye do not understand?
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged Jesus to touch him.
Then He cometh to Bethsaida, where they brought to Him a blind man, and begged of 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 He took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and having spit on his eyes, He laid his hands upon 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 (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.
Then He put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored to sight, and saw them all plainly.
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 town, nor tell any one in the town.
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?"
Then Jesus and his disciples went out into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way He asked his disciples, saying, 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."
And they answered, Some say, John the baptist; and others, Elias; 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 Messiah."
And He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered and saith, Thou art the Christ.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
And He charged them, that they should say this to 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 began to tell them, that the Son of man must suffer much; and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and 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 this He spake plainly and openly. Upon which Peter 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 reproved Peter, saying, Get thee behind me Satan; for thou savourest not the things of God, but the things that be 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 people and his disciples to Him, He said unto them, Whosoever is willing to come 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 gospel will save it.
for he that would save his life, shall lose it; but he that would 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 shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?
or what shall a man give as a ransom 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 whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this degenerate and sinful age, of him will the Son of man be also ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.
