Marcum 8
1 in illis diebus iterum cum turba multa esset nec haberent quod manducarent convocatis discipulis ait illis
In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself and said to them,
2 misereor super turba quia ecce iam triduo sustinent me nec habent quod manducent
“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
3 et si dimisero eos ieiunos in domum suam deficient in via quidam enim ex eis de longe venerunt
If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
4 et responderunt ei discipuli sui unde istos poterit quis hic saturare panibus in solitudine
His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
5 et interrogavit eos quot panes habetis qui dixerunt septem
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
6 et praecepit turbae discumbere supra terram et accipiens septem panes gratias agens fregit et dabat discipulis suis ut adponerent et adposuerunt turbae
He commanded the multitude 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 multitude.
7 et habebant pisciculos paucos et ipsos benedixit et iussit adponi
They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
8 et manducaverunt et saturati sunt et sustulerunt quod superaverat de fragmentis septem sportas
They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
9 erant autem qui manducaverunt quasi quattuor milia et dimisit eos
Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
10 et statim ascendens navem cum discipulis suis venit in partes Dalmanutha
Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
11 et exierunt Pharisaei et coeperunt conquirere cum eo quaerentes ab illo signum de caelo temptantes eum
The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
12 et ingemescens spiritu ait quid generatio ista quaerit signum amen dico vobis si dabitur generationi isti signum
He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 et dimittens eos ascendens iterum abiit trans fretum
He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
14 et obliti sunt sumere panes et nisi unum panem non habebant secum in navi
They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
15 et praecipiebat eis dicens videte cavete a fermento Pharisaeorum et fermento Herodis
He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16 et cogitabant ad alterutrum dicentes quia panes non habemus
They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
17 quo cognito Iesus ait illis quid cogitatis quia panes non habetis nondum cognoscitis nec intellegitis adhuc caecatum habetis cor vestrum
Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened?
18 oculos habentes non videtis et aures habentes non auditis nec recordamini
Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
19 quando quinque panes fregi in quinque milia et quot cofinos fragmentorum plenos sustulistis dicunt ei duodecim
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 quando et septem panes in quattuor milia quot sportas fragmentorum tulistis et dicunt ei septem
“When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.”
21 et dicebat eis quomodo nondum intellegitis
He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
22 et veniunt Bethsaida et adducunt ei caecum et rogabant eum ut illum tangeret
He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
23 et adprehendens manum caeci eduxit eum extra vicum et expuens in oculos eius inpositis manibus suis interrogavit eum si aliquid videret
He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
24 et aspiciens ait video homines velut arbores ambulantes
He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
25 deinde iterum inposuit manus super oculos eius et coepit videre et restitutus est ita ut videret clare omnia
Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
26 et misit illum in domum suam dicens vade in domum tuam et si in vicum introieris nemini dixeris
He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
27 et egressus est Iesus et discipuli eius in castella Caesareae Philippi et in via interrogabat discipulos suos dicens eis quem me dicunt esse homines
Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
28 qui responderunt illi dicentes Iohannem Baptistam alii Heliam alii vero quasi unum de prophetis
They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
29 tunc dicit illis vos vero quem me dicitis esse respondens Petrus ait ei tu es Christus
He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
30 et comminatus est eis ne cui dicerent de illo
He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
31 et coepit docere illos quoniam oportet Filium hominis multa pati et reprobari a senioribus et a summis sacerdotibus et scribis et occidi et post tres dies resurgere
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 et palam verbum loquebatur et adprehendens eum Petrus coepit increpare eum
He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
33 qui conversus et videns discipulos suos comminatus est Petro dicens vade retro me Satana quoniam non sapis quae Dei sunt sed quae sunt hominum
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 men.”
34 et convocata turba cum discipulis suis dixit eis si quis vult post me sequi deneget se ipsum et tollat crucem suam et sequatur me
He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere perdet eam qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me et evangelium salvam eam faciet
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 quid enim proderit homini si lucretur mundum totum et detrimentum faciat animae suae
For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
37 aut quid dabit homo commutationem pro anima sua
For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
38 qui enim me confusus fuerit et mea verba in generatione ista adultera et peccatrice et Filius hominis confundetur eum cum venerit in gloria Patris sui cum angelis sanctis
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 his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
