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 not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near His disciples, says 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 compassion on the multitude, because now three days they continue with Me, and they have not what they may 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 will let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are 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 answered Him, “From where will anyone be able to feed these here in a wilderness with bread?”
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
And He was questioning them, “How many loaves do you have?” 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 multitude to sit down on the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, He broke, and was giving to His disciples that they may set before [them]; and they set before the multitude.
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 having blessed, He said to set them also before [them];
8 And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
and they ate and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces—seven baskets;
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
and those eating were about four thousand. And He let them away,
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
and immediately having entered into the boat with His disciples, He came to 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 dispute with Him, seeking from 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 having sighed deeply in His spirit, He says, “Why does this generation seek after 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 having left them, having entered again into the boat, He went away 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 forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing 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 was charging 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 were reasoning with one another, saying, “Because we have no loaves.”
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 having known, says to them, “Why do you reason, because you have no loaves? Do you not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have you hardened your heart?
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, do you not hear? And do you 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 broke the five loaves to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They say 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 to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said, “Seven.”
21 And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
And He said to them, “How do you not understand?”
22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
And He comes to Bethsaida, and they bring to Him one blind, and call on Him that He may 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 having taken the hand of the blind man, He led him forth outside the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [His] hands on him, He was questioning him if he beholds anything:
24 And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
and he, having looked up, said, “I behold men, as I see trees, walking.”
25 Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.
Afterward again He put [His] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned 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, “Neither may you go into the village, nor tell [it] to any in the village.”
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 forth, and His disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and in the way He was questioning His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say 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 Immerser, 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 says to them, “And you—who do you say I am?” And Peter answering says to him, “You are the Christ.”
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
And He strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,
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 began to teach them that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and to rise again after three days;
32 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
and openly He was speaking the word. And Peter having taken Him aside, 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.
and He, having turned, and having looked on His disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan, because you do not mind the things of God, but 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 having called near the multitude, with His disciples, He said to them, “Whoever wills to come after Me—let him disown 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 whoever may will to save his life will lose it; and whoever may lose his life for My sake and for the good news’ sake, he will save it;
36 For what doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
for what will it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37 For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
Or what will a man give as an 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.
For whoever may be ashamed of Me, and of My words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He may come in the glory of His Father with the holy messengers.”
