Mark 8
1 In those days, there being again a great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, he called the disciples to him, and saith to them,
In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.
I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;
3 And if I send them away fasting to their houses, they will faint on the road; and some of them have come from altar.
If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness?
And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.
6 And he ordered the multitude to lie down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.
And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.
8 And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away.
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came out, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.
And the Pharisees came out and put questions to him, requesting from him a sign from heaven, testing him.
12 And sighing deeply in his spirit, he saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Truly do I say to you, A sign will not he given to this generation.
And he was very sad in spirit, and said, Why is this generation looking for a sign? truly, I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.
13 And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
And he went away from them, and again got into the boat and went across to the other side.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.
And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
And they said to one another, We have no bread.
17 And knowing it, he saith to them, Why are ye reasoning, because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your mind still blinded?
And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?
18 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember,
Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory?
19 when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up? They say to him, Twelve.
When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.
20 When also the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they say, Seven.
And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.
21 And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you?
22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.
23 And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the village; and spitting on his eyes, and putting his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
And he took the blind man by the hand, and went with him out of the town; and when he had put water from his mouth on his eyes, and put his hands on him, he said, Do you see anything?
24 And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
And looking up, he said, I see men; I see them like trees, walking.
25 Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.
Then again he put his hands on his eyes; and looking hard, he was able to see, and saw all things clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Do not even go into the town.
27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?
And Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the little towns round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he put a question to his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am?
28 And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
And they made answer, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.
29 And he asked them, But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering saith to him, Thou art the Christ.
And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
And he put them under orders not to say this of him to anyone.
31 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;
And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.
32 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting.
33 But he turning about and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan! for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those of men.
But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.
34 And calling the multitude to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever chooseth to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.
35 For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad tidings, will save it.
Whoever has a desire to keep his life, will have it taken from him; and whoever gives up his life because of me and the good news, will keep it.
36 For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
What profit has a man if he gets all the world with the loss of his life?
37 For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
And what would a man give in exchange for his life?
38 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will also the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Whoever has a feeling of shame because of me and my words in this false and evil generation, the Son of man will have a feeling of shame because of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
