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, there being again a very great multitude, and they having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to Him,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have remained with me now three days, and they have nothing to eat.
and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, for 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 home, they will faint by the way; for some 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 whence can one satisfy these people with bread here in a desert?
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 ordered the people to sit down upon the ground: and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and brake them, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them 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 He blessed them, and bid them set them also before the people.
8 And they ate, and were filled; and they took up of the fragments that remained, seven baskets.
And they did eat and were satisfied: and they took up what were left, to wit of fragments seven baskets:
9 And they were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
and they that had eaten were about four thousand. And then He dismissed them.
10 And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples, he came into the region of Dalmanutha.
And going directly on board a ship with his disciples, He 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 pharirisees came forth, and began to dispute with Him, desiring 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 sighing deeply in his spirit, saith, Why doth this generation require a sign? Verily I tell you, There shall no sign be given to this generation.
13 And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.
So He left them, and went on board the ship again, and 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.
And his disciples had forgot to take bread, neither had they any more than one loaf with them in the ship.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.
And therefore as He was giving them a charge, 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.
they argued one with another, 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 Jesus knowing it saith unto them, What are ye reasoning about? because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet discern nor understand? have ye your heart still hardened?
18 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember,
Have ye eyes, and do not see? 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 did ye take up? They answer, 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 I divided 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 then 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.
Then He cometh to Bethsaida, where they brought to Him a blind man, and begged of Him that He would 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 having spit on his eyes, He laid his hands upon him, and asked him, If he saw any thing.
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 it were 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 He put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored to sight, and saw them all plainly.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.
And He sent him away to his house, and said, Neither go into the town, nor tell any one 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?
Then Jesus and his disciples went out into the towns of Cesarea Philippi: and by the way He asked his disciples, saying, 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, Some say, John the baptist; and others, 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? Peter answered and saith, Thou art the Christ.
30 And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.
And He charged them, that they should say this to no one 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 began to tell them, that the Son of man must suffer much; and be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes; and be put to death: and after three days rise again.
32 and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
And this He spake plainly and openly. Upon which Peter 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 He turned about and looking on his disciples reproved Peter, saying, Get thee behind me Satan; for thou savourest not the things 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 calling the people and his disciples to Him, He said unto them, Whosoever is willing to 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 he that would save his life, shall lose it; but he that would 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?
For what shall it profit a man, if he 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 as a ransom 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.
for whosoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this degenerate and sinful age, of him will the Son of man be also ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of his Father, with the holy angels.
