< Mark 8 >

1 In those days, there was again a great crowd, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples and said to them,
In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,
2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they continue to be with me already for three days and have nothing to eat.
'I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;
3 If I send them away to their home without eating, they may faint on the way. Some of them have come a long way.”
and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'
4 His disciples answered him, “Where can we get enough loaves of bread in such a deserted place to satisfy these people?”
And his disciples answered him, 'Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?'
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
And he was questioning them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven.'
6 He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. He took the seven loaves, gave thanks, and broke them. He gave them to his disciples to set before them, and they set them before the crowd.
And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before [them]; and they did set before the multitude.
7 They also had a few small fish, and after he gave thanks for them, he commanded the disciples to serve these as well.
And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before [them];
8 They ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the remaining broken pieces, seven large baskets.
and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces — seven baskets;
9 There were about four thousand people. Then he sent them away.
and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,
10 Immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and they went into the region of Dalmanutha.
and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,
11 Then the Pharisees came out and began to argue with him. They sought from him a sign from heaven, to test him.
and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, 'Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.'
13 Then he left them, got into a boat again, and went away to the other side.
And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread with them. They had no more than one loaf of bread in the boat.
and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,
15 He warned them and said, “Keep watch and be on guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
and he was charging them, saying, 'Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'
16 The disciples reasoned with each other, “It is because we have no bread.”
and they were reasoning with one another, saying — 'Because we have no loaves.'
17 Jesus was aware of this, and he said to them, “Why are you reasoning about not having bread? Do you not yet perceive? Do you not understand? Have your hearts become so dull?
And Jesus having known, saith to them, 'Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?
18 You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?
19 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces of bread did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.”
When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' they say to him, 'Twelve.'
20 “When I broke the seven loaves among the four thousand, how many basketfuls did you take up?” They said to him, “Seven.”
'And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, 'Seven.'
21 He said, “Do you not yet understand?”
And he said to them, 'How do ye not understand?'
22 They came to Bethsaida. The people there brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,
23 Jesus took hold of the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [his] hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men who look like walking trees.”
and he, having looked up, said, 'I behold men, as I see trees, walking.'
25 Then he again laid his hands upon his eyes, and the man opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw all things clearly.
Afterwards again he put [his] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,
26 Jesus sent him away to his home and said, “Do not enter the town.”
and he sent him away to his house, saying, 'Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell [it] to any in the village.'
27 Jesus went out with his disciples into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do the people say that I am?”
And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, 'Who do men say me to be?'
28 They answered him and said, “John the Baptist. Others say, 'Elijah,' and others, 'One of the prophets.'”
And they answered, 'John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.'
29 He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to him, “You are the Christ.”
And he saith to them, 'And ye — who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, 'Thou art the Christ.'
30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and would be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and would be killed, and after three days rise up.
and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;
32 He said this clearly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,
33 But Jesus turned and looked at his disciples and then he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! You are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of people.”
and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, 'Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'
34 Then he called the crowd and his disciples together, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.
And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, 'Whoever doth will to come after me — let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;
35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel, will save it.
for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;
36 What does it profit a person to gain the whole world and then forfeit his life?
for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37 What can a person give in exchange for his life?
Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?
38 Whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'
