Mark 8
WEB·Mark 8
1In 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,
KJVInG1722 thoseG1565 daysG2250 the multitudeG3793 beingG5607(G5752) very greatG3827, andG2532 havingG2192(G5723) nothingG3361G5101 to eatG5315(G5632), JesusG2424 calledG4341(G5666) hisG846 disciplesG3101 unto him, and saithG3004(G5719) unto themG846,
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
KJVI have compassionG4697(G5736) onG1909 the multitudeG3793, becauseG3754 they haveG4357 nowG2235 beenG4357(G5719) with meG3427 threeG5140 daysG2250, andG2532 haveG2192(G5719) nothingG3756G5101 to eatG5315(G5632):
3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
KJVAndG2532 ifG1437 I sendG630 themG846 awayG630(G5661) fastingG3523 toG1519 their ownG846 housesG3624, they will faintG1590(G5701) byG1722 the wayG3598: forG1063 diversG5100 of themG846 cameG2240(G5758) from farG3113.
4 His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
KJVAndG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101 answeredG611(G5662) himG846, From whenceG4159 canG1410(G5695) a manG5100 satisfyG5526(G5658) theseG5128 men with breadG740 hereG5602 inG1909 the wildernessG2047?
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
KJVAndG2532 he askedG1905(G5707) themG846, How manyG4214 loavesG740 have yeG2192(G5719)? AndG1161 they saidG2036(G5627), SevenG2033.
6 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.
KJVAndG2532 he commandedG3853(G5656) the peopleG3793 to sit downG377(G5629) onG1909 the groundG1093: andG2532 he tookG2983(G5631) the sevenG2033 loavesG740, and gave thanksG2168(G5660), and brakeG2806(G5656), andG2532 gaveG1325(G5707) to hisG846 disciplesG3101 toG2443 set beforeG3908(G5632) them; andG2532 they did set them beforeG3908(G5656) the peopleG3793.
7 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
KJVAndG2532 they hadG2192(G5707) a fewG3641 small fishesG2485: andG2532 he blessedG2127(G5660), and commandedG2036(G5627) to setG3908 themG846 alsoG2532 beforeG3908(G5629) them.
8 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
KJVSoG1161 they did eatG5315(G5627), andG2532 were filledG5526(G5681): andG2532 they took upG142(G5656) of the brokenG2801 meat that was leftG4051 sevenG2033 basketsG4711.
9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
KJVAndG1161 they that had eatenG5315(G5631) wereG2258(G5713) aboutG5613 four thousandG5070: andG2532 he sentG630 themG846 awayG630(G5656).
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
KJVAndG2532 straightwayG2112 he enteredG1684(G5631) intoG1519 a shipG4143 withG3326 hisG846 disciplesG3101, and cameG2064(G5627) intoG1519 the partsG3313 of DalmanuthaG1148.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
KJVAndG2532 the PhariseesG5330 came forthG1831(G5627), andG2532 beganG756(G5662) to questionG4802(G5721) with himG846, seekingG2212(G5723) ofG3844 himG846 a signG4592 fromG575 heavenG3772, temptingG3985(G5723) himG846.
12 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.”
KJVAndG2532 he sighed deeplyG389(G5660) in hisG846 spiritG4151, and saithG3004(G5719), WhyG5101 dothG1934 thisG3778 generationG1074 seek afterG1934(G5719) a signG4592? verilyG281 I sayG3004(G5719) unto youG5213, There shall noG1487 signG4592 be givenG1325(G5701) unto thisG5026 generationG1074.
13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
KJVAndG2532 he leftG863(G5631) themG846, and enteringG1684(G5631) intoG1519 the shipG4143 againG3825 departedG565(G5627) toG1519 the other sideG4008.
14 They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
KJVNowG2532 the disciples had forgottenG1950(G5633) to takeG2983(G5629) breadG740, neitherG2532G3756 hadG2192(G5707) they inG1722 the shipG4143 withG3326 themG1438 more thanG1508 oneG1520 loafG740.
15 He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
KJVAndG2532 he chargedG1291(G5710) themG846, sayingG3004(G5723), Take heedG3708(G5720), bewareG991(G5720) ofG575 the leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330, andG2532 of the leavenG2219 of HerodG2264.
16 They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
KJVAndG2532 they reasonedG1260(G5711) amongG4314 themselvesG240, sayingG3004(G5723), It is becauseG3754 we haveG2192(G5719) noG3756 breadG740.
17 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?
KJVAndG2532 when JesusG2424 knewG1097(G5631) it, he saithG3004(G5719) unto themG846, WhyG5101 reason yeG1260(G5736), becauseG3754 ye haveG2192(G5719) noG3756 breadG740? perceive yeG3539(G5719) not yetG3768, neitherG3761 understandG4920(G5719)? have yeG2192(G5719) yourG5216 heartG2588 yetG2089 hardenedG4456(G5772)?
18 Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
KJVHavingG2192(G5723) eyesG3788, see yeG991(G5719) notG3756? andG2532 havingG2192(G5723) earsG3775, hear yeG191(G5719) notG3756? andG2532 do yeG3421 notG3756 rememberG3421(G5719)?
19 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.”
KJVWhenG3753 I brakeG2806(G5656) the fiveG4002 loavesG740 amongG1519 five thousandG4000, how manyG4214 basketsG2894 fullG4134 of fragmentsG2801 took ye upG142(G5656)? They sayG3004(G5719) unto himG846, TwelveG1427.
20 “When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.”
KJVAndG1161 whenG3753 the sevenG2033 amongG1519 four thousandG5070, how manyG4214 basketsG4711 fullG4138 of fragmentsG2801 took ye upG142(G5656)? AndG1161 they saidG2036(G5627), SevenG2033.
21 He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
KJVAndG2532 he saidG3004(G5707) unto themG846, HowG4459 is it that ye doG4920 notG3756 understandG4920(G5719)?
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
KJVAndG2532 he comethG2064(G5736) toG1519 BethsaidaG966; andG2532 they bringG5342(G5719) a blind manG5185 unto himG846, andG2532 besoughtG3870(G5719) himG846 toG2443 touchG680(G5672) himG846.
23 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.
KJVAndG2532 he tookG1949(G5637) the blind manG5185 by the handG5495, and ledG1806(G5627) himG846 out ofG1854 the townG2968; andG2532 when he had spitG4429(G5660) onG1519 hisG846 eyesG3659, and putG2007(G5631) his handsG5495 upon himG846, he askedG1905(G5707) himG846 ifG1536 he sawG991(G5719) oughtG1536.
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
KJVAndG2532 he looked upG308(G5660), and saidG3004(G5707),G3754 I seeG991(G5719) menG444 asG5613G3708(G5719) treesG1186, walkingG4043(G5723).
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
KJVAfterG1534 that he putG2007(G5656) his handsG5495 againG3825 uponG1909 hisG846 eyesG3788, andG2532 madeG4160(G5656) himG846 look upG308(G5658): andG2532 he was restoredG600(G5681), andG2532 sawG1689(G5656) every manG537 clearlyG5081.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
KJVAndG2532 he sentG649 himG846 awayG649(G5656) toG1519 hisG846 houseG3624, sayingG3004(G5723), NeitherG3366 goG1525(G5632) intoG1519 the townG2968, norG3366 tellG2036(G5632) it to anyG5100 inG1722 the townG2968.
27 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?”
KJVAndG2532 JesusG2424 went outG1831(G5627), andG2532 hisG846 disciplesG3101, intoG1519 the townsG2968 of CaesareaG2542 PhilippiG5376: andG2532 byG1722 the wayG3598 he askedG1905(G5707) hisG846 disciplesG3101, sayingG3004(G5723) unto themG846, WhomG5101 doG3004 menG444 sayG3004(G5719) that IG3165 amG1511(G5750)?
28 They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
KJVAndG1161 they answeredG611(G5662), JohnG2491 the BaptistG910: butG1161 someG243 say, EliasG2243; andG2532 othersG243, OneG1520 of the prophetsG4396.
29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
KJVAndG2532 heG846 saithG3004(G5719) unto themG846, ButG1161 whomG5101 sayG3004(G5719) yeG5210 that IG3165 amG1511(G5750)? AndG1161 PeterG4074 answerethG611(G5679) and saithG3004(G5719) unto himG846, ThouG4771 artG1488(G5748) the ChristG5547.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
KJVAndG2532 he chargedG2008(G5656) themG846 thatG2443 they should tellG3004(G5725) no manG3367 ofG4012 himG846.
31 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.
KJVAndG2532 he beganG756(G5662) to teachG1321(G5721) themG846, thatG3754 the SonG5207 of manG444 mustG1163(G5748) sufferG3958(G5629) many thingsG4183, andG2532 be rejectedG593(G5683) ofG575 the eldersG4245, andG2532 of the chief priestsG749, andG2532 scribesG1122, andG2532 be killedG615(G5683), andG2532 afterG3326 threeG5140 daysG2250 rise againG450(G5629).
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
KJVAndG2532 he spakeG2980(G5707) that sayingG3056 openlyG3954. AndG2532 PeterG4074 tookG4355(G5642) himG846, and beganG756(G5662) to rebukeG2008(G5721) himG846.
33 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.”
KJVButG1161 when he had turned aboutG1994(G5651) andG2532 lookedG1492(G5631) on hisG846 disciplesG3101, he rebukedG2008(G5656) PeterG4074, sayingG3004(G5723), Get theeG5217(G5720) behindG3694 meG3450, SatanG4567: forG3754 thou savourestG5426(G5719) notG3756 the things that be of GodG2316, butG235 the things that be of menG444.
34 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.
KJVAndG2532 when he had calledG4341(G5666) the peopleG3793 unto him withG4862 hisG846 disciplesG3101 also, he saidG2036(G5627) unto themG846, WhosoeverG3748 willG2309(G5719) comeG2064(G5629) afterG3694 meG3450, let him denyG533(G5663) himselfG1438, andG2532 take upG142(G5657) hisG846 crossG4716, andG2532 followG190(G5720) meG3427.
35 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.
KJVForG1063 whosoeverG3739G302 willG2309(G5725) saveG4982(G5658) hisG846 lifeG5590 shall loseG622(G5692) itG846; butG1161 whosoeverG3739G302 shall loseG622(G5661) hisG846 lifeG5590 forG1752 my sakeG1700 andG2532 the gospel'sG2098, the sameG3778 shall saveG4982(G5692) itG846.
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
KJVForG1063 whatG5101 shall it profitG5623(G5692) a manG444, ifG1437 he shall gainG2770(G5661) the wholeG3650 worldG2889, andG2532 loseG2210(G5686) his ownG846 soulG5590?
37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
KJVOrG2228 whatG5101 shallG1325 a manG444 giveG1325(G5692) in exchangeG465 for hisG846 soulG5590?
38 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.”
KJVWhosoeverG3739G302 thereforeG1063 shall be ashamedG1870(G5680) of meG3165 andG2532 of myG1699 wordsG3056 inG1722 thisG5026 adulterousG3428 andG2532 sinfulG268 generationG1074; of himG846 alsoG2532 shallG1870 the SonG5207 of manG444 be ashamedG1870(G5700), whenG3752 he comethG2064(G5632) inG1722 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 FatherG3962 withG3326 the holyG40 angelsG32.
