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 the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and saith unto 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 compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
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.
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness?
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
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 commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they did set [them] before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].
8 And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets.
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts 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 forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting 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 sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because 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 when Jesus knew [it], he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember,
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
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 brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto 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 four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch 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 led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.
After that he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man 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, Neither go into the town, nor tell [it] to any in 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, and his disciples, into the towns of Cæsarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom 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 answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elias; and 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 saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
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 he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and [of] the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
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 when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be 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 when he had called the people [unto him] with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow 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.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s, the same shall save it.
36 For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
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.
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
