The Gospel of Mark 8

8 In those days, there again being a great crowd, and not having anything to eat, having summoned his disciples, he says to them, 2 “I have compassion on the crowd because they are remaining with me already three days and do not have anything to eat. 3 And if I would send them away to their home hungry, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come from far way.” 4 And his disciples answered him, “From where will anyone be able to satisfy these people with bread here in a desolate place?” 5 And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” 6 And he commands the crowd to recline on the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he broke them and was giving them to his disciples so that they might serve them, and they served the crowd. 7 And they had a few small fish, and having blessed them, he said to serve these also. 8 And they ate and were satisfied, and they took up the remaining of the broken pieces—seven baskets. 9 Now there were about 4,000, and he sent them away. 10 And immediately, having gotten into the boat with his disciples, he went into the regions of Dalmanutha.

11 And the Pharisees came out and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, testing him. 12 And having sighed greatly in his spirit, he says, “Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, if a sign will be given to this generation …” 13 And having left them, having boarded a boat again, he went away to the other side.

14 And they forgot to bring bread, and except for one loaf, they did not have any with them in the boat. 15 And he was warning them, saying, “See, watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.” 16 And they were reasoning with each other that they have no bread. 17 And having known this, Jesus says to them, “Why are you reasoning that you do not have bread? Do you not yet perceive, nor understand? Have your hearts become 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 among the 5,000, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They say to him, “12.” 20 “And when the seven among the 4,000, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they say to him, “Seven.” 21 And he said to them, “How do you not yet understand?”

22 And they come to Bethsaida, and they bring to him a blind man and beg him that he would touch him. 23 And having taken hold of the hand of the blind man, he led him out from the village. And having spit into his eyes, having laid his hands on him, he was asking him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And having looked up, he was saying, “I see men who look like walking trees.” 25 Then he again laid his hands upon his eyes, and he looked intently and was restored, and he was seeing everything clearly. 26 And he sent him away to his home, saying, “You may not even enter into the town.”

27 And Jesus and his disciples went out into the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?” 28 But they said to him, saying, “John the Baptist, and others, Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.” 29 And he was questioning them, “But who do you say that I am?” And answering, Peter says to him, “You are the Christ.” 30 And he strongly warned them that they might tell no one about him.

31 And he began to teach them that it is necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and to be killed and to rise up after three days. 32 And he was speaking this word openly. And Peter, having taken him aside, began to rebuke him. 33 But Jesus, having turned and having looked at his disciples, rebuked Peter and says, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.” 34 And having summoned the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for the sake of me and of the gospel will save it. 36 For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world and to forfeit his life? 37 For what might a man give in exchange for his life? 38 For whoever is ashamed of me and of 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.”
