Mark 8
8
1 In those days, again, when there was a great crowd, and they did not have anything to eat, calling together his disciples, he said to them:
2 "I have compassion for the multitude, because, behold, they have persevered with me now for three days, and they do not have anything to eat.
3 And if I were to send them away fasting to their home, they might faint on the way." For some of them came from far away.
4 And his disciples answered him, "From where would anyone be able to obtain enough bread for them in the wilderness?"
5 And he questioned them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."
6 And he instructed the crowd to sit down to eat on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke and gave it to his disciples in order to place before them. And they placed these before the crowd.
7 And they had a few small fish. And he blessed them, and he ordered them to be placed before them.
8 And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up what had been leftover from the fragments: seven baskets.
9 And those who ate were about four thousand. And he dismissed them.
10 And promptly climbing into a boat with his disciples, he went into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees went out and began to contend with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, testing him.
12 And sighing deeply in spirit, he said: "Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, if only a sign will be given to this generation!"
13 And sending them away, he climbed into the boat again, and he went away across the sea.
14 And they forgot to take bread. And they did not have any with them in the boat, except one loaf.
15 And he instructed them, saying: "Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod."
16 And they discussed this with one another, saying, "For we have no bread."
17 And Jesus, knowing this, said to them: "Why do you consider that it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet know or understand? Do you still have blindness in your heart?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember,
19 when I broke the five loves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments you took up?" They said to him, "Twelve."
20 "And when the seven loaves were among the four thousand, how many baskets of fragments did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven."
21 And he said to them, "How is it that you do not yet understand?"
22 And they went to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to him. And they petitioned him, so that he would touch him.
23 And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him beyond the village. And putting spit on his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he could see anything.
24 And looking up, he said, "I see men but they are like walking trees."
25 Next he placed his hands again over his eyes, and he began to see. And he was restored, so that he could see everything clearly.
26 And he sent him to his house, saying, "Go into your own house, and if you enter into the town, tell no one."
27 And Jesus departed with his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way, he questioned his disciples, saying to them, "Who do men say that I am?"
28 And they answered him by saying: "John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others perhaps one of the prophets."
29 Then he said to them, "Yet truly, who do you say that I am?" Peter responded by saying to him, "You are the Christ."
30 And he admonished 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 by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 And he spoke the word openly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to correct him.
33 And turning away and looking at his disciples, he admonished Peter, saying, "Get behind me, Satan, for you do not prefer the things that are of God, but the things that are of men."
34 And calling together the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, "If anyone chooses to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whoever will have chosen to save his life, will lose it. But whoever will have lost his life, for my sake and for the Gospel, shall save it.
36 For how does it benefit a man, if he gains the whole world, and yet causes harm to his soul?
37 Or, what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 For whoever has been ashamed of me and of my words, among this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he will arrive in the glory of his Father, with the holy Angels."
39 And he said to them, "Amen I say to you, that there are some among those standing here who shall not taste death until they see the kingdom of God arriving in power."

Mark 8
8
1In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,
2‘I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;
3and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.’
4And his disciples answered him, ‘Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?’
5And he was questioning them, ‘How many loaves have ye?’ and they said, ‘Seven.’
6And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before [them]; and they did set before the multitude.
7And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before [them];
8and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces — seven baskets;
9and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,
10and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,
11and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;
12and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, ‘Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.’
13And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;
14and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,
15and he was charging them, saying, ‘Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,’
16and they were reasoning with one another, saying — ‘Because we have no loaves.’
17And Jesus having known, saith to them, ‘Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?
18Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?
19When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?’ they say to him, ‘Twelve.’
20‘And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?’ and they said, ‘Seven.’
21And he said to them, ‘How do ye not understand?’
22And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,
23and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [his] hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:
24and he, having looked up, said, ‘I behold men, as I see trees, walking.’
25Afterwards again he put [his] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,
26and he sent him away to his house, saying, ‘Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell [it] to any in the village.’
27And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, ‘Who do men say me to be?’
28And they answered, ‘John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.’
29And he saith to them, ‘And ye — who do ye say me to be?’ and Peter answering saith to him, ‘Thou art the Christ.’
30And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,
31and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;
32and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,
33and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, ‘Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.’
34And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, ‘Whoever doth will to come after me — let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;
35for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;
36for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?
38for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.’
