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,
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 multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.
I have compassion on the multitude; for they attend me now 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 home fasting, their strength will fail by the way; for some of them have come from afar.
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness?
His disciples answered, Whence can we supply these people with bread here in the desert?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
He asked them, How many loaves have you? 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.
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 And they had a few small fishes; and having blessed them, he set them before them.
They had also a few small fishes, which, after blessing, he likewise ordered to be presented.
8 And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
So they eat, and were satisfied; and the fragments which remained, were carried off in seven hand-baskets.
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
Now they who had eat were about four thousand.
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
Having dismissed them, he immediately embarked with his disciples, and went into the territory of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came out, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying 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 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.
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 leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
After that, leaving them, he re-embarked and returned.
14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.
Now the disciples had forgot to bring bread, having only one loaf with them in the bark.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven 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 reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
They reflecting upon it, said among themselves, 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?
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 ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye 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, and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up? They say to 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 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 hand-baskets full of the fragments did you carry off? They said, Seven.
21 And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?
How then is it, proceeded he, that you do not apprehend me?
22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.
When Jesus came to Bethsaida, they brought to him a blind man, whom they entreated him to touch.
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.
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 And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.
Having looked up, he 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.
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 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.
And Jesus sent him home, saying, Neither go into the village, nor tell anything to any of the villagers.
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?
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 answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.
They answered, John the Immerser; but some say, Elijah; 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.
He said to them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answering, said to him, You are the Messiah.
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
Then he charged them to tell no person this concerning 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 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 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
This he spoke so plainly, that Peter, taking him aside, reproved 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 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 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.
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 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 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 doth it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
What would it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world, with the forfeit of his life?
37 For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?
or what will a man not give in ransom 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 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.
