Mark 8
1 In those days (again *NO*) (much *N(k)O*) [the] crowd being and not having what they may eat, having called to [Him] (Jesus *k*) the disciples (of him *k*) He says to them;
About that time, when there was again a great crowd of people who had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said,
2 I am moved with compassion upon the crowd because already (days *N(k)O*) three they continue with Me and nothing they have that they may eat.
‘My heart is moved at the sight of all these people, for they have already been with me three days and they have nothing to eat;
3 And if I shall send away them hungry to [the] homes of them, they will faint on the way; (And *N(K)O*) some of them (from *no*) afar (have come. *NK(o)*)
and if I send them away to their homes hungry, they will break down on the way; and some of them have come a long distance.’
4 And answered Him the disciples of Him (that *no*) From where these will be able anyone here to satisfy with bread in this desolate place?
‘Where will it be possible,’ his disciples answered, ‘to get sufficient bread for these people in this lonely place?’
5 And (He was asking *N(k)O*) them; How many have you loaves? And they said; Seven.
‘How many loaves have you?’ he asked. ‘Seven,’ they answered.
6 And (He directs *N(k)O*) the crowd to recline on the ground, And having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks He broke [them] and he was giving [them] to the disciples of Him that (they may set before [them]; *N(k)O*) And they set [it] before the crowd.
Jesus told the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, and, after saying the thanksgiving, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve out; and they served them out to the crowd.
7 And they had small fish a few; And having blessed (them *no*) He ordered also (these to be set before [them]. *N(k)O*)
They had also a few small fish; and, after he had said the blessing, he told the disciples to serve out these as well.
8 (And *no*) they ate (now *k*) and were satisfied, And they took up overflow of fragments seven baskets.
The people had sufficient to eat, and they picked up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left.
9 There were now (having eaten of *KO*) about four thousand; And He sent away them.
There were about four thousand people. Then Jesus dismissed them.
10 And immediately having climbed into the boat with the disciples of Him He came into the district of Dalmanutha.
Immediately afterwards, getting into the boat with his disciples, Jesus went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 And went out the Pharisees and began to dispute with Him seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.
Here the Pharisees came out, and began to argue with Jesus, asking him for some sign from the heavens, to test him.
12 And having sighed deeply in the spirit of Him He says; Why generation this (seeks *N(k)O*) a sign? Amen I say to you, if there will be given to the generation this a sign.
Sighing deeply, Jesus said, ‘Why does this generation ask for a sign? I tell you, no sign will be given it.’
13 And having left them again having climbed (into *ko*) (boat *KO*) He went away to the other side.
So he left them to themselves, and, getting into the boat again, went away to the opposite shore.
14 And they forgot to take loaves and only except one loaf not they had with themselves in the boat.
Now the disciples had forgotten to take any bread with them, one loaf being all that they had in the boat.
15 And He was instructing to them saying; do watch out, do take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod.
So Jesus gave them this warning. ‘Take care,’ he said, ‘beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.’
16 And they were reasoning with one another (saying *k*) because loaves not (they have. *N(K)O*)
They began talking to one another about their being short of bread;
17 And having known [it] (*ko*) (Jesus *KO*) He says to them; Why reason you because loaves not you have? Not yet do you perceive nor understand? (still *K*) Hardened do you have the heart of you?
and, noticing this, Jesus said to them, ‘Why are you talking about your being short of bread? Don’t you yet see or understand? Are your minds still so slow of comprehension?
18 Eyes having not do you see? And ears having not do you hear? And not do you remember?
Though you have eyes, do you not see? And though you have ears, do you not hear? Don’t you remember,
19 When the five loaves I broke for the five thousand how many hand-baskets of fragments full took you up? They say to Him; Twelve.
when I broke up the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets of broken pieces you picked up?’ ‘Twelve,’ they said.
20 When (now *k(o)*) the seven to the four thousand of how many baskets [the] fillings of fragments took you up? (*ko*) (And they speak *N(k)O*) (to him; *no*) Seven.
‘And when the seven for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you pick up?’ ‘Seven,’ they said.
21 And He was saying to them; (Not yet *N(K)O*) (how *KO*) do you understand?
‘Don’t you understand now?’ he repeated.
22 And (they come *N(K)O*) to Bethsaida, And they bring to Him a blind [man] and they implore Him that him He may touch.
They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.
23 And having taken hold of the hand of the blind [man] (he brought *N(k)O*) him out of the village, and having spit upon the eyes of him, having laid the hands upon him He was asking him: if anything (you see? *N(K)O*)
Taking the blind man’s hand, Jesus led him to the outskirts of the village, and, when he had put saliva on the man’s eyes, he placed his hands on him, and asked him, ‘Do you see anything?’
24 And having looked up he was saying; I see the men for as trees I see [them] walking.
The man looked up, and said, ‘I see the people, for, as they walk about, they look to me like trees.’
25 Then again (He put *NK(o)*) the hands upon the eyes of him, and (made him *K*) (look *N(K)O*) and (he restored *N(k)O*) and (he was seeing well *N(k)O*) clearly (everything. *N(k)O*)
Then Jesus again placed his hands on the man’s eyes; and the man saw clearly, his sight was restored, and he saw everything with perfect distinctness.
26 And He sent him to (the *k*) home of him saying; Not into the village shall you enter (nor may you speak to anyone in village. *KO*)
Jesus sent him to his home, and said, ‘Do not go even into the village.’
27 And went forth Jesus and the disciples of Him into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way He was questioning the disciples of Him saying to them; Whom Me do pronounce men to be?
Afterwards Jesus and his disciples went into the villages round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples this question – ‘Who do people say that I am?’
28 And (they said *N(k)O*) (to Him saying: that *no*) John the Baptist, and others; Elijah, others now (that *no*) (one *N(k)O*) of the prophets.
‘John the Baptist,’ they answered, ‘but others say Elijah, while others say one of the prophets.’
29 And He himself (was questioning them; *N(k)O*) You yourselves however whom Me do pronounce to be? Answering (now *k*) Peter says to Him; You yourself are the Christ.
‘But you,’ he asked, ‘who do you say that I am?’ To this Peter replied, ‘You are the Christ.’
30 And He warned them that no one they may tell concerning Him.
At which Jesus charged them not to say this about him to anyone.
31 And He began to teach them that it is necessary for the Son of Man many things to suffer and to be rejected (by *N(k)O*) the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and to be killed and after three days to rise [again];
Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and that he must be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise again after three days.
32 And openly the word He was speaking. And having taken Peter him began to rebuke Him.
He said all this quite openly. But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him.
33 And having turned and having looked upon the disciples of Him He rebuked (*k*) Peter (and *no*) (speaks; *N(k)O*) do go behind Me, Satan, for not you have in mind the [things] of God but the [things] of men.
Jesus, however, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter. ‘Out of my sight, Satan!’ he exclaimed. ‘For you look at things, not as God does, but as people do.’
34 And having called to [Him] the crowd with the disciples of Him He said to them; (If *NO*) (anyone *N(k)O*) desires after Me (to follow, *N(K)O*) he should deny himself and he should take up the cross of him and he should follow Me.
Calling the people and his disciples to him, Jesus said, ‘If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, take up their cross, and follow me.
35 Who[ever] for (if *N(k)O*) shall desire life (his *NK(o)*) to save, will lose it; who[ever] now maybe (will lose *N(k)O*) the life of him on account of Me and of the gospel, (this *k*) he will save it.
For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, will lose their life will save it.
36 What for (profits *N(k)O*) (*o*) a man (if *ko*) (to gain *N(k)O*) the world whole and (to lose *N(k)O*) the soul of him?
What good is it to a person to gain the whole world and forfeit their life?
37 (or *k*) What (for *no*) (may give *N(k)O*) a man [as] an exchange for the soul of him?
For what could a person give that is of equal value with their life?
38 Who[ever] for (if *N(k)O*) shall be ashamed of Me and My words in generation this adulterous and sinful, also the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He may come in the glory of the Father of Him with the angels holy.
Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, in this unfaithful and wicked generation, of them will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.’
