Mark 8

1In those daysG2250, when there wasG1510 againG3825 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, and they had nothing to eatG2068, he called unto him his disciplesG3101, and saith unto them, 2I have compassionG4697 on the multitudeG3793, because they continue with me now threeG5140 daysG2250, and have nothing to eatG2068: 3and if I sendG630 them awayG630 fasting to their homeG3624, they will faintG1590 on the wayG3598; and some of them are comeG2240 from far. 4And his disciplesG3101 answeredG611 him, Whence shall oneG5100 be ableG1410 to fill these menG3778 with breadG740 hereG5602 in a desert placeG2047? 5And he askedG2065 them, HowG4214 manyG4214 loavesG740 have ye? And they saidG3004, SevenG2033. 6And he commandeth the multitudeG3793 to sit down on the groundG1093: and he tookG2983 the sevenG2033 loavesG740, and having givenG1325 thanksG2168, he brake, and gaveG1325 to his disciplesG3101, to setG3908 before them; and they setG3908 them before the multitudeG3793. 7And they had a fewG3641 smallG3641 fishes: and having blessedG2127 them, he commanded to setG3908 these alsoG2532 before them. 8And they ateG2068, and were filledG5526: and they tookG142 up, of broken pieces that remained over, sevenG2033 basketsG4711. 9And they wereG1510 about fourG5070 thousandG5070: and he sentG630 them awayG630. 10And straightway he entered into the boatG4143 with his disciplesG3101, and cameG2064 into the partsG3313 of Dalmanutha.

11And the PhariseesG5330 cameG1831 forthG1831, and beganG757 to question with him, seekingG2212 of him a signG4592 from heavenG3772, trying him. 12And he sighed deeply in his spiritG4151, and saith, WhyG5101 doth this generationG1074 seekG2212 a signG4592? verily I sayG3004 unto you, There shall no signG4592 be givenG1325 unto this generationG1074. 13And he leftG863 them, and againG3825 entering into the boat departedG565 to the otherG4008 sideG4008.

14And they forgot to takeG2983 breadG740; and they had not in the boatG4143 with them more than oneG1520 loafG740. 15And he charged them, sayingG3004, TakeG991 heedG991, bewareG991 of the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330 and the leavenG2219 of HerodG2264. 16And they reasonedG1260 oneG240 with another, saying, We have no breadG740. 17And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, WhyG5101 reason ye, because ye have no breadG740? do ye not yet perceive, neither understandG4920? have ye your heartG2588 hardenedG4456? 18Having eyesG3788, seeG991 ye not? and having earsG3775, hearG191 ye not? and do ye not rememberG3421? 19WhenG3753 I brake the fiveG4002 loavesG740 among the fiveG4002 thousandG4000, howG4214 manyG4214 baskets fullG4134 of broken pieces tookG142 ye up? They sayG3004 unto him, TwelveG1427. 20And whenG3753 the sevenG2033 among the fourG5070 thousandG5070, howG4214 manyG4214 basketfuls of broken pieces tookG142 ye up? And they sayG3004 unto him, SevenG2033. 21And he saidG3004 unto them, Do ye not yet understandG4920?

22And they comeG2064 unto BethsaidaG966. And they bringG5342 to him a blindG5185 manG5185, and beseech him to touchG681 him. 23And he took holdG1949 of the blindG5185 man by the handG5495, and brought him out of the villageG2968; and when he had spit on his eyesG3659, and laidG2007 his handsG5495 upon him, he askedG1905 him, Seest thou aught? 24And he looked up, and saidG3004, I seeG3708 menG444; for I behold them as treesG1186, walkingG4043. 25Then againG3825 he laidG2007 his handsG5495 upon his eyesG3788; and he lookedG1689 stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearlyG1227. 26And he sentG649 him awayG649 to his homeG3624, sayingG3004, Do not evenG2532 enterG1525 into the villageG2968.

27And JesusG2424 wentG1831 forthG1831, and his disciplesG3101, into the villagesG2968 of Cæsarea PhilippiG5376: and on the wayG3598 he askedG1905 his disciplesG3101, sayingG3004 unto them, Who do menG444 sayG3004 that I amG1510? 28And they toldG3004 him, sayingG3004, JohnG2491 the BaptistG910; and othersG243, ElijahG2243; but othersG243, OneG1520 of the prophetsG4396. 29And he askedG1905 them, But who sayG3004 ye that I amG1510? PeterG4074 answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the ChristG5547. 30And he charged them that they should tellG3004 no man of him.

31And he beganG757 to teachG1321 them, that the SonG5207 of manG444 must sufferG3958 manyG4183 thingsG4183, and be rejectedG593 by the eldersG4245, and the chiefG749 priestsG749, and the scribesG1122, and be killedG615, and after threeG5140 daysG2250 riseG450 againG450. 32And he spake the sayingG2980 openlyG3954. And PeterG4074 took him, and beganG757 to rebukeG2008 him. 33But he turningG1994 about, and seeingG3708 his disciplesG3101, rebukedG2008 PeterG4074, and saith, Get thee behind me, SatanG4567; for thou mindest not the things of GodG2316, but the things of menG444. 34And he called unto him the multitudeG3793 with his disciplesG3101, and saidG3004 unto them, If any man would comeG2064 after me, let him denyG533 himself, and takeG142 up his crossG4716, and followG190 me. 35For whosoever would saveG4982 his lifeG5590 shall loseG622 it; and whosoever shall loseG622 his lifeG5590 for my sakeG1752 and the gospel’sG2098 shall saveG4982 it. 36For what doth it profitG5623 a manG444, to gainG2770 the wholeG3650 worldG2889, and forfeit his lifeG5590? 37For what should a manG444 giveG1325 in exchangeG465 for his lifeG5590? 38For whosoever shall be ashamedG1870 of me and of my wordsG3056 in this adulterousG3428 and sinfulG268 generationG1074, the SonG5207 of manG444 alsoG2532 shall be ashamedG1870 of him, whenG3752 he cometh in the gloryG1391 of his FatherG3962 with the holyG40 angelsG32.
