Κατα Μαρκον 8
1 Ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις πάλιν, πολλοῦ ὄχλου ὄντος, καὶ μὴ ἐχόντων τί φάγωσιν, προσκαλεσάμενος τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ, λέγει αὐτοῖς,
In those days, when there was a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat, he called the disciples to himself, and said to them,
2 “Σπλαγχνίζομαι ἐπὶ τὸν ὄχλον, ὅτι ἤδη ἡμέραι τρεῖς προσμένουσίν μοι, καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν τί φάγωσιν.
"I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 Καὶ ἐὰν ἀπολύσω αὐτοὺς νήστεις εἰς οἶκον αὐτῶν, ἐκλυθήσονται ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ. Καί τινες αὐτῶν ἀπὸ μακρόθεν ἥκασιν.”
If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come a long way."
4 Καὶ ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ, “Πόθεν τούτους δυνήσεταί τις ὧδε χορτάσαι ἄρτων ἐπʼ ἐρημίας;”
His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
5 Καὶ ἠρώτα αὐτούς, “Πόσους ἔχετε ἄρτους;” Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν, “Ἑπτά.”
He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
6 Καὶ παραγγέλλει τῷ ὄχλῳ ἀναπεσεῖν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς. Καὶ λαβὼν τοὺς ἑπτὰ ἄρτους, εὐχαριστήσας ἔκλασεν καὶ ἐδίδου τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, ἵνα παρατιθῶσιν, καὶ παρέθηκαν τῷ ὄχλῳ.
He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them, and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the crowd.
7 Καὶ εἶχαν ἰχθύδια ὀλίγα· καὶ εὐλογήσας αὐτὰ, εἶπεν καὶ ταῦτα παρατιθέναι.
They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
8 Καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἐχορτάσθησαν, καὶ ἦραν περισσεύματα κλασμάτων ἑπτὰ σπυρίδας.
They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9 Ἦσαν δὲ οἱ φαγόντες ὡς τετρακισχίλιοι. Καὶ ἀπέλυσεν αὐτούς.
Now they were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 Καὶ εὐθὺς ἐμβὰς εἰς τὸ πλοῖον μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, ἦλθεν εἰς τὰ μέρη Δαλμανουθά.
Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11 Καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ, ἤρξαντο συζητεῖν αὐτῷ, ζητοῦντες παρʼ αὐτοῦ σημεῖον ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, πειράζοντες αὐτόν.
The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, and testing him.
12 Καὶ ἀναστενάξας τῷ πνεύματι αὐτοῦ λέγει, “Τί ἡ γενεὰ αὕτη ζητεῖ σημεῖον; Ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν, εἰ δοθήσεται τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ σημεῖον.”
He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."
13 Καὶ ἀφεὶς αὐτοὺς, πάλιν ἐμβὰς ἀπῆλθεν εἰς τὸ πέραν.
And he left them, and got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
14 Καὶ ἐπελάθοντο λαβεῖν ἄρτους, καὶ εἰ μὴ ἕνα ἄρτον οὐκ εἶχον μεθʼ ἑαυτῶν ἐν τῷ πλοίῳ.
Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
15 Καὶ διεστέλλετο αὐτοῖς λέγων, “Ὁρᾶτε, βλέπετε ἀπὸ τῆς ζύμης τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ τῆς ζύμης Ἡρῴδου.”
He warned them, saying, "Watch out; guard yourselves against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod."
16 Καὶ διελογίζοντο πρὸς ἀλλήλους, Ὅτι ἄρτους οὐκ ἔχουσιν.
And they began discussing among themselves that they had no bread.
17 Καὶ γνοὺς, ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς λέγει αὐτοῖς, “Τί διαλογίζεσθε ὅτι ἄρτους οὐκ ἔχετε; Οὔπω νοεῖτε, οὐδὲ συνίετε; Πεπωρωμένην ἔχετε τὴν καρδίαν ὑμῶν;
He, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that it's because you have no bread? Do you not perceive yet, neither understand? Are your hearts hardened?
18 ‘Ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες, οὐ βλέπετε; Καὶ ὦτα ἔχοντες, οὐκ ἀκούετε;’ Καὶ οὐ μνημονεύετε;
Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember?
19 Ὅτε τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους ἔκλασα εἰς τοὺς πεντακισχιλίους, πόσους κοφίνους κλασμάτων πλήρεις ἤρατε;” Λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, “Δώδεκα.”
When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Twelve."
20 “Ὅτε δὲ τοὺς ἑπτὰ εἰς τοὺς τετρακισχιλίους, πόσων σπυρίδων πληρώματα κλασμάτων ἤρατε;” καὶ λέγουσιν “Ἑπτά.”
"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."
21 Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς, “Πῶς οὔπω συνίετε;”
He asked them, "Do you not yet understand?"
22 Καὶ ἔρχονται εἰς Βηθσαϊδάν, καὶ φέρουσιν αὐτῷ τυφλὸν, καὶ παρακαλοῦσιν αὐτὸν ἵνα αὐτοῦ ἅψηται.
He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged Jesus to touch him.
23 Καὶ ἐπιλαβόμενος τῆς χειρὸς τοῦ τυφλοῦ, ἐξήνεγκεν αὐτὸν ἔξω τῆς κώμης, καὶ πτύσας εἰς τὰ ὄμματα αὐτοῦ, ἐπιθεὶς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῷ, ἐπηρώτα αὐτόν, “Εἴ τι βλέπεις;”
He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
24 Καὶ ἀναβλέψας ἔλεγεν, “Βλέπω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, ὅτι ὡς δένδρα ὁρῶ περιπατοῦντας.”
He looked up, and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking."
25 Εἶτα πάλιν ἐπέθηκεν τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ διέβλεψεν καὶ ἀπεκατέστη καὶ ἐνέβλεπεν τηλαυγῶς ἅπαντα.
Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He made him look up, and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
26 Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτὸν εἰς οἶκον αὐτοῦ λέγων, “Μηδὲ εἰς τὴν κώμην εἰσέλθῃς.”
He sent him away to his house, saying, "Do not enter into the village."
27 Καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ ˚Ἰησοῦς καὶ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὰς κώμας Καισαρείας τῆς Φιλίππου. Καὶ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ἐπηρώτα τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ λέγων αὐτοῖς, “Τίνα με λέγουσιν οἱ ἄνθρωποι εἶναι;”
Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?"
28 Οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτῷ λέγοντες, ὅτι “Ἰωάννην τὸν Βαπτιστήν, καὶ ἄλλοι Ἠλίαν, ἄλλοι δὲ ὅτι εἷς τῶν προφητῶν.”
And they said to him, saying, "John the Baptist, and others say Elijah, but others: one of the prophets."
29 Καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπηρώτα αὐτούς, “Ὑμεῖς δὲ τίνα με λέγετε εἶναι;” Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Πέτρος λέγει αὐτῷ, “Σὺ εἶ ὁ ˚Χριστός.”
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said to him, "You are the Christ."
30 Καὶ ἐπετίμησεν αὐτοῖς ἵνα μηδενὶ λέγωσιν περὶ αὐτοῦ.
He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
31 Καὶ ἤρξατο διδάσκειν αὐτοὺς ὅτι δεῖ τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου πολλὰ παθεῖν, καὶ ἀποδοκιμασθῆναι ὑπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων καὶ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ τῶν γραμματέων, καὶ ἀποκτανθῆναι, καὶ μετὰ τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἀναστῆναι.
He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 Καὶ παρρησίᾳ τὸν λόγον ἐλάλει. Καὶ προσλαβόμενος αὐτὸν, ὁ Πέτρος ἤρξατο ἐπιτιμᾶν αὐτῷ.
He spoke to them openly. Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 Ὁ δὲ, ἐπιστραφεὶς καὶ ἰδὼν τοὺς μαθητὰς αὐτοῦ, ἐπετίμησεν τῷ Πέτρῳ καὶ λέγει, “Ὕπαγε ὀπίσω μου, Σατανᾶ, ὅτι οὐ φρονεῖς τὰ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ἀλλὰ τὰ τῶν ἀνθρώπων.”
But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan. For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of humans."
34 Καὶ προσκαλεσάμενος τὸν ὄχλον σὺν τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, “Εἴ τις θέλει ὀπίσω μου ἀκολουθεῖν ἀπαρνησάσθω ἑαυτὸν, καὶ ἀράτω τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκολουθείτω μοι.
He called the crowd to himself with his disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν θέλῃ τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ σῶσαι, ἀπολέσει αὐτήν, ὃς δʼ ἂν ἀπολέσει τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, σώσει αὐτήν.
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
36 Τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖ ἄνθρωπον, κερδήσῃ τὸν κόσμον ὅλον καὶ ζημιωθῆναι τὴν ψυχὴν αὐτοῦ;
For what does it profit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?
37 Τί γὰρ δώσει ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ;
Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?
38 Ὃς γὰρ ἐὰν ἐπαισχυνθῇ με καὶ τοὺς ἐμοὺς λόγους ἐν τῇ γενεᾷ ταύτῃ, τῇ μοιχαλίδι καὶ ἁμαρτωλῷ, καὶ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἐπαισχυνθήσεται αὐτὸν ὅταν ἔλθῃ ἐν τῇ δόξῃ τοῦ Πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, μετὰ τῶν ἀγγέλων τῶν ἁγίων.”
For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
