AICNT MARK Chapter 8

◄ MARK 8 ► ║ ═ ©

8 In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, {he}[fn] called his disciples and said to them, 2 “I have compassion for the crowd, because they have been with me for three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a distance.”

4 His disciples say to him, “Where can we get enough with bread in the wilderness?”

5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.” 6 And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd. 7 They also had a few small fish; and after blessing them, he said that these should also be set before them. 8 So they ate and were satisfied; and they took up the leftover broken pieces, seven baskets full. 9 There were about {four thousand}[fn] men. And he sent them away.

10 Immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and came to the region of Dalmanutha.

11 And the Pharisees went out and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, {testing him}.[fn]

12 And sighing deeply in his spirit, he says, “Why does this generation seek a sign? [Truly][fn] [I say][fn] to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”

13 And leaving them, he got into the boat again and went {to the other side}.[fn] 14 And they forgot to take bread, and except for one loaf, they did not have any with them in the boat.

15 And he was warning them, saying, “Watch, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” 16 And they reasoned with each other that they did not have bread. 17 And knowing this, {he}[fn] says to them, “Why do you reason that you have no bread? Do you not yet understand or comprehend? Is your heart hardened? 18 Having eyes, do you not see, and having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “When I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” And they said [to him], “Seven.” 21 And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”

22 And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man and they ask him to touch him. 23 And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And looking up, he said, “{I see the men, that they appear like walking trees}.”[fn] 25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes, and {he looked intently}[fn] and was restored, and saw {everything clearly}.[fn] 26 And he sent him to his house, saying, “Do not even enter the village [[nor tell it to any in the village]].”[fn]

27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into [the villages of][fn] Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked {his}[fn] disciples, saying [to them],[fn] “Who do men say that I am?” 28 And they {said to}[fn] him, saying [that][fn] “John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, [that][fn] one of the prophets.” 29 And he {asked}[fn] them, But who do you say that I am? Peter answered and said to him, “You are the Christ[fn] [[, the son of the living God]].”[fn] 30 And he warned them not to tell anyone about him.

31 And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again. 32 And he spoke the word openly.

And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning around and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.”

34 And calling the crowd together with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wishes to follow me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel [[the same]][fn] will save it. 36 For what does it profit a man {to gain}[fn] the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For what can a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”
