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,
At that time the crowd being very numerous, and having no food, he called his disciple, 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; for they attend 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, their strength will fail by 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?"
His disciples answered, Whence can we supply these people with bread here in the desert?
5 He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
He asked them, How many loaves have you? 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.
Then commanding the multitude to place themselves upon the ground, he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples, that they might distribute them to the people, and they distributed them.
7 They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
They had also a few small fishes, which, after blessing, he likewise ordered to be presented.
8 They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
So they eat, and were satisfied; and the fragments which remained, were carried off in seven hand-baskets.
9 Now they were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
Now they who had eat were about four thousand.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
Having dismissed them, he immediately embarked with his disciples, and went into the territory of Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him.
Thence some Pharisees came, who began to argue with him; and in order to prove him, demanded of him a sign in the sky.
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."
Jesus answered with a deep groan, Wherefore does this generation require a sign? Indeed, I say to you, that no sign shall be given to this generation.
13 And he left them, and got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
After that, leaving them, he re-embarked and returned.
14 Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
Now the disciples had forgot to bring bread, having only one loaf with them in the bark.
15 He warned them, saying, "Watch out; guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."
Then Jesus gave them this caution: Attend; 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 reflecting upon it, said among themselves, 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?
Jesus remarking it, said to them, Why do you make this reflection, hat you have no bread? Are you yet so thoughtless, so inattentive?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
Is your understanding still blinded? Have you no us of your eyes, or of your ears? or 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 distributed the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you carry off? They answered, 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 the seven among four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of the fragments did you carry off? They said, Seven.
21 He asked them, "Do you not yet understand?"
How then is it, proceeded he, that you do not apprehend me?
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged Jesus to touch him.
When Jesus came to Bethsaida, they brought to him a blind man, whom they entreated him to touch.
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.
He took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village. Then having put spittle on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him whether he saw.
24 He looked up, and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking."
Having looked up, he said, I see men, as trees walking.
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He made him look up, and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
And Jesus laid his hands upon the man's eyes, and made him look again. And he was so perfectly cured, as to see every object clearly.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, "Do not enter into the village."
And Jesus sent him home, saying, Neither go into the village, nor tell anything to any of the villagers.
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?"
Jesus went thence with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and by the way asked them, saying, 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; but some say, 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."
He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answering, said to him, You are the Messiah.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
Then he charged them to tell no person this 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 inform 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 killed, and that in three days he must rise again.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
This he spoke so plainly, that Peter, taking him aside, reproved 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 turning, and looking on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get you hence, adversary, for you do not relish the things of God, but 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.
Then having called both to the people, and to his disciples, he said, Is any willing to come under my guidance? Let him renounce 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 whosoever would save his life, shall lose it; and whosoever 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?
What would it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world, with the forfeit of his life?
37 Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?
or what will a man not give in 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 whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him likewise the Son of man will be ashamed, when he shall come in the glory of his Father, accompanied by the holy angels.
