< Mark 8 >
1 During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
ⲁ̅ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲛ ⲉϥϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲉϥⲟϣ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲟⲩⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟⲙϥ ⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
2 “This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.

3 Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”

4 [Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗⲑⲱⲛ ϩⲁ⳿ⲙⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲥⲓ ⳿ⲛⲱⲓⲕ ϩⲓ ⳿ⲡϣⲁϥⲉ.
5 Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”

6 Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲥⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲃ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲛⲱⲓⲕ ⲁϥϣⲉⲡ⳿ϩⲙⲟⲧ ⲁϥⲫⲁϣⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩⲭⲱ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲭⲱ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲙⲏϣ.
7 [They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲕⲟⲩϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲃⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲉⲑⲣⲟⲩⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⲛⲁϩⲣⲁⲩ.
8 the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲥⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲗⲁⲕϩ ⲍ̅ ⳿ⲙⲃⲓⲣ.
9 [They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].

10 Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
ⲓ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲁⲗⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϫⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓⲥⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ Ⲇⲁⲗⲙⲁⲛⲟⲩⲑⲁ.
11 [In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲕⲱϯ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧⲫⲉ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ.
12 Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”

13 Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲭⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁϥ⳿ⲁⲗⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓϫⲟⲓ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲙⲏⲣ.
14 The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.

15 [As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϩⲟⲛϩⲉⲛ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲟⲩϣⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗϩⲁ ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲪⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⳿ⲡϣⲉⲙⲏⲣ ⳿ⲛⲎ̇ⲣⲱⲇⲏⲥ.
16 [The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”

17 Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?)

18 (I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]

19 when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”

20 Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”

21 Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲁϯ ⲁⲛ.
22 They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].

23 Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”

25 Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.

26 Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.

27 Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”

28 They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥϯⲱⲙⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ϫⲉ Ⲏ̇ⲗⲓⲁⲥ ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲡⲣⲟⲫⲏⲧⲏⲥ.
29 He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲛⲁϥϣⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲩ⳿ⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
30 Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].

31 Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”

32 He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].

33 Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲫⲟⲛϩϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⳿⳿ⲉⲛⲉϥⲙⲁⲑⲏⲧⲏⲥ ⲁϥⲉⲣ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲓⲙⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲠⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲁϣⲉⲛⲁⲕ ⲥⲁⲫⲁϩⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲭⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁ Ⲫϯ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ.
34 Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.

35 [You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
