Mark 8
1 In those days, there being, again a large multitude, and they not having any thing to eat, calling near the disciples, he saith unto them—
And in those days, when the multitude was great, and had nothing to eat, he called his disciples, and said to them:
2 I am moved with compassion towards the multitude, because, already three days, abide they with me, and they have nothing to eat;
I compassionate this multitude; for, lo, three days have they continued with me, and they have nothing to eat.
3 and, if dismiss them fasting unto their home, they will be exhausted in the way, —and, certain of them, are, from afar.
And if I send them to their homes fasting, they will faint by the way: for some of them have come from a great distance.
4 And his disciples answered him—Whence shall any one be able, here, to fill, these, with bread, in a desert?
His disciples say to him: Whence can one, here in the desert, satisfy all these with bread?
5 And he was questioning them—How many loaves have ye? and they said—Seven.
And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? They say to him, Seven.
6 And he sendeth word to the multitude, to fall back upon the ground. And, taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he brake, and was giving unto his disciples, that they might be setting before them; and they set before the multitude.
And he directed the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and blessed, and brake, and grave to his disciples to set forth; and they set before the multitudes.
7 And they had a few small fishes; and, blessing them, he bade them set, these also, before them.
And there were a few fishes; and them he also blessed, and ordered them set forth.
8 And they did eat, and were filled, and took up remainders of broken pieces, seven hampers.
And they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up seven baskets of the remaining fragments.
9 Now they were about four thousand; and he dismissed them.
And the men who had eaten, were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 And, straightway, entering into the boat with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha;
And immediately he entered a ship, with his disciples, and came to the place Dalmanutha.
11 and forth came the Pharisees, and began discussing with him, seeking of him, a sign from the heaven, testing him.
And the Pharisees came out, and began to dispute with him; and, to tempt him, they demanded of him a sign from heaven.
12 And, deeply sighing in his spirit, he saith—Why, doth this generation seek, a sign? Verily, I say—there shall, not be given, to this generation, a sign.
And he sighed with his breath, and said: Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.
13 And leaving them, again, embarking, he departed unto the other side.
And he left them, and embarked in the ship; and they passed to the other shore.
14 And they forgot to take loaves, and, save one loaf, they had nothing with them in the boat.
And they had forgotten to take bread with them, and had but a single cake in the ship with them.
15 And he began charging them, saying—Mind! beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod!
And he charged them, and said to them: Take heed, and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they began deliberating one with another, because they had no loaves.
And they reasoned one with another, and said: It is, because we have no bread.
17 And, taking note, he saith unto them—Why do ye deliberate, because ye have no, loaves? Not yet perceive ye, neither understand, —keep ye your hearts, hardened?
And Jesus knew it, and said to them: Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? Do ye still not know, nor understand? How long will your heart be hard?
18 Eyes having, see ye not? and ears having, hear ye not? and remember ye not
and ye have eyes, but see not? and have ears, but hear not, nor reflect?
19 when, the five loaves, I brake unto the five thousand, how many baskets, full of broken pieces, ye took up? They say unto him—Twelve, —
When I broke the five loaves to five thousand, how many baskets full of the fragments took ye up? They say to him: Twelve.
20 When the seven, unto the four thousand, how many hampers, full measure, of broken pieces, ye took up? And they say unto him—Seven. And he was saying unto them—
He saith to them. And when the seven to four thousand, how many baskets full of the fragments took ye up? They say: Seven.
21 Not yet, do ye understand?
He saith to them: Why is it that, to this time, ye do not consider?
22 And they come into Bethsaida. And they bring unto him one blind, and beseech him that him, he would touch.
And he came to Bethsaida: and they brought to him a blind man, and besought him to touch him.
23 And, laying hold of the hand of the blind man, he brought him forth outside the village, and, spitting into his eyes, laying his hands upon him, he was asking him—Anything, seest thou?
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village, and spit on his eyes, and laid on his hand: and asked him, what he saw.
24 and, looking up, he was saying—I see men, because, like trees, I behold them walking
And he gazed, and said: I see men like trees which walk.
25 Then again, put he his hands upon his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and was seeing distinctly, in broad splendour, all things together.
Again he laid his hand on his eyes, and he was recovered, and saw every thing plainly.
26 And he sent him away unto his house, saying—Not even into the village, mayest thou enter.
And he sent him to his house, and said to him: Neither enter into the village, nor tell any person in the village.
27 And forth went Jesus and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea of Philip. And, in the way, he was questioning his disciples, saying unto them—Who, are men saying that I am?
And Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And he asked his disciples by the way, and said to them: Who, do men say of me, that I am?
28 And they answered him, saying—John the Immerser, and, others, Elijah, —and, others, One of the prophets.
And they said to him: That thou art John the Baptizer; and others: That thou art Elijah; and others: That thou art one of the prophets.
29 And, he, went on to question them—But, who, say, ye, that I am? Peter, answering, saith unto him—Thou, art, the Christ.
Jesus said to them: And who, do ye yourselves say of me, that I am? Simon replied, and said to him: Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living God.
30 And he straitly charged them, that, no one, they should tell concerning him.
And he charged them, that they should say this of him to no person.
31 And he began to be teaching them—The Son of Man, must needs suffer many things, and be rejected by the Elders and the High-priests and the Scribes, —and be slain; and, after three days, arise.
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man was about to suffer much, and be rejected by the Elders and by the chief priests and by the Scribes, and be killed, and rise on the third day.
32 And, openly, was he speaking the word. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.
And he spoke out the thing distinctly. And Cephas took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But, he, turning round and looking upon his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith—Withdraw behind me, Satan! because thou art not regarding the things, of God, but the things, of men.
But he turned, and looked upon his disciples, and rebuked Simon, and said: Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou dost not consider what is of God, but what is of men.
34 And, calling near the multitude with his disciples, he said unto them—If anyone willeth, after me, to come, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and be following me.
And Jesus called the multitude, together with his disciples, and said to them: Whoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and come after me.
35 For, whosoever willeth, his own life, to save, shall lose it, but, whosoever shall lose his life for the sake [of me and] of the glad-message, shall save it;
For, whoever will preserve his life, shall lose it; and whoever will lose his life on my account, and on account of my tidings, shall preserve it.
36 For, what doth it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and be made to forfeit his life?
For, what will a man be profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his life?
37 For what can a man, give, in exchange for his life?
Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?
38 For, whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also, will be ashamed, of him, whensoever he shall come, in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.
For, whoever shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this sinful and adulterous generation, of him also will the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father, with his holy angels.
