Mark.8.1
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
Mark.8.1
At about this same time he again found himself with a hungry crowd on his hands. He called his disciples together and said,
Mark.8.1
During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said,
Mark.8.1
In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,
Mark.8.1
About this time another great crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again. Jesus called his disciples and told them,
Mark.8.2
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
Mark.8.2
"This crowd is breaking my heart. They have stuck with me for three days, and now they have nothing to eat.
Mark.8.2
"I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat.
Mark.8.2
"I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
Mark.8.2
"I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat.
Mark.8.3
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
Mark.8.3
If I send them home hungry, they'll faint along the way--some of them have come a long distance."
Mark.8.3
If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance."
Mark.8.3
And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar."
Mark.8.3
And if I send them home without feeding them, they will faint along the road. For some of them have come a long distance."
Mark.8.4
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
Mark.8.4
His disciples responded, "What do you expect us to do about it? Buy food out here in the desert?"
Mark.8.4
His disciples answered, "But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?"
Mark.8.4
Then His disciples answered Him, "How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?"
Mark.8.4
"How are we supposed to find enough food for them here in the wilderness?" his disciples asked.
Mark.8.5
And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
Mark.8.5
He asked, "How much bread do you have?Seven loaves," they said.
Mark.8.5
"How many loaves do you have?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they replied.
Mark.8.5
He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."
Mark.8.5
"How many loaves of bread do you have?" he asked. "Seven," they replied.
Mark.8.6
And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
Mark.8.6
So Jesus told the crowd to sit down on the ground. After giving thanks, he took the seven bread loaves, broke them into pieces, and gave them to his disciples so they could hand them out to the crowd.
Mark.8.6
He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people, and they did so.
Mark.8.6
So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
Mark.8.6
So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, broke them into pieces, and gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread to the crowd.
Mark.8.7
And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
Mark.8.7
They also had a few fish. He pronounced a blessing over the fish and told his disciples to hand them out as well.
Mark.8.7
They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them.
Mark.8.7
They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them also before them.
Mark.8.7
A few small fish were found, too, so Jesus also blessed these and told the disciples to pass them out.
Mark.8.8
So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
Mark.8.8
The crowd ate its fill. Seven sacks of leftovers were collected.
Mark.8.8
The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Mark.8.8
So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.
Mark.8.8
They ate until they were full, and when the scraps were picked up, there were seven large baskets of food left over!
Mark.8.9
And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
Mark.8.9
There were well over four thousand at the meal. Then he sent them home.
Mark.8.9
About four thousand men were present. And having sent them away,
Mark.8.9
Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away,
Mark.8.9
There were about four thousand people in the crowd that day, and he sent them home after they had eaten.
Mark.8.10
And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
Mark.8.10
He himself went straight to the boat with his disciples and set out for Dalmanoutha.
Mark.8.10
he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
Mark.8.10
immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.
Mark.8.10
Immediately after this, he got into a boat with his disciples and crossed over to the region of Dalmanutha.
Mark.8.11
And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
Mark.8.11
When they arrived, the Pharisees came out and started in on him, badgering him to prove himself, pushing him up against the wall.
Mark.8.11
The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven.
Mark.8.11
Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.
Mark.8.11
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had arrived, they came to argue with him. Testing him to see if he was from God, they demanded, "Give us a miraculous sign from heaven to prove yourself."
Mark.8.12
And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
Mark.8.12
Provoked, he said, "Why does this generation clamor for miraculous guarantees? If I have anything to say about it, you'll not get so much as a hint of a guarantee."
Mark.8.12
He sighed deeply and said, "Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it."
Mark.8.12
But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."
Mark.8.12
When he heard this, he sighed deeply and said, "Why do you people keep demanding a miraculous sign? I assure you, I will not give this generation any such sign."
Mark.8.13
And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
Mark.8.13
He then left them, got back in the boat, and headed for the other side.
Mark.8.13
Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.
Mark.8.13
And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side.
Mark.8.13
So he got back into the boat and left them, and he crossed to the other side of the lake.
Mark.8.14
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
Mark.8.14
But the disciples forgot to pack a lunch. Except for a single loaf of bread, there wasn't a crumb in the boat.
Mark.8.14
The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
Mark.8.14
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.
Mark.8.14
But the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any food, so there was only one loaf of bread with them in the boat.
Mark.8.15
And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
Mark.8.15
Jesus warned, "Be very careful. Keep a sharp eye out for the contaminating yeast of Pharisees and the followers of Herod."
Mark.8.15
"Be careful," Jesus warned them. "Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod."
Mark.8.15
Then He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."
Mark.8.15
As they were crossing the lake, Jesus warned them, "Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod."
Mark.8.16
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
Mark.8.16
Meanwhile, the disciples were finding fault with each other because they had forgotten to bring bread.
Mark.8.16
They discussed this with one another and said, "It is because we have no bread."
Mark.8.16
And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have no bread."
Mark.8.16
They decided he was saying this because they hadn't brought any bread.
Mark.8.17
And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
Mark.8.17
Jesus overheard and said, "Why are you fussing because you forgot bread? Don't you see the point of all this? Don't you get it at all?
Mark.8.17
Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: "Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
Mark.8.17
But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?
Mark.8.17
Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he said, "Why are you so worried about having no food? Won't you ever learn or understand? Are your hearts too hard to take it in?
Mark.8.18
Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
Mark.8.18
Remember the five loaves I broke for the five thousand? How many baskets of leftovers did you pick up?" They said, "Twelve."
Mark.8.18
Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember?
Mark.8.18
Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
Mark.8.18
'You have eyes--can't you see? You have ears--can't you hear?' Don't you remember anything at all?
Mark.8.19
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
Mark.8.19
"And the seven loaves for the four thousand--how many bags full of leftovers did you get?Seven."
Mark.8.19
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?Twelve," they replied.
Mark.8.19
When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."
Mark.8.19
What about the five thousand men I fed with five loaves of bread? How many baskets of leftovers did you pick up afterward?Twelve," they said.
Mark.8.20
And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
Mark.8.20
He said, "Do you still not get it?"
Mark.8.20
"And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?" They answered, "Seven."
Mark.8.20
"Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."
Mark.8.20
"And when I fed the four thousand with seven loaves, how many large baskets of leftovers did you pick up?Seven," they said.
Mark.8.21
And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
Mark.8.21
They arrived at Bethsaida. Some people brought a sightless man and begged Jesus to give him a healing touch.
Mark.8.21
He said to them, "Do you still not understand?"
Mark.8.21
So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"
Mark.8.21
"Don't you understand even yet?" he asked them.
Mark.8.22
And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
Mark.8.22
Taking him by the hand, he led him out of the village. He put spit in the man's eyes, laid hands on him, and asked, "Do you see anything?"
Mark.8.22
They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.

Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him.
Mark.8.22
When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and they begged him to touch and heal the man.
Mark.8.23
And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
Mark.8.23
He looked up. "I see men. They look like walking trees."
Mark.8.23
He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man's eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, "Do you see anything?"
Mark.8.23
So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.
Mark.8.23
Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then, spitting on the man's eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, "Can you see anything now?"
Mark.8.24
And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
Mark.8.24
So Jesus laid hands on his eyes again. The man looked hard and realized that he had recovered perfect sight, saw everything in bright, twenty-twenty focus.
Mark.8.24
He looked up and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking around."
Mark.8.24
And he looked up and said, "I see men like trees, walking."
Mark.8.24
The man looked around. "Yes," he said, "I see people, but I can't see them very clearly. They look like trees walking around."
Mark.8.25
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
Mark.8.25
Jesus sent him straight home, telling him, "Don't enter the village."
Mark.8.25
Once more Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.
Mark.8.25
Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
Mark.8.25
Then Jesus placed his hands over the man's eyes again. As the man stared intently, his sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly.
Mark.8.26
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
Mark.8.26
Jesus and his disciples headed out for the villages around Caesarea Philippi. As they walked, he asked, "Who do the people say I am?"
Mark.8.26
Jesus sent him home, saying, "Don't go into the village. "
Mark.8.26
Then He sent him away to his house, saying, "Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town."
Mark.8.26
Jesus sent him home, saying, "Don't go back into the village on your way home."
Mark.8.27
And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
Mark.8.27
"Some say "John the Baptizer,'" they said. "Others say "Elijah.' Still others say "one of the prophets.'"
Mark.8.27
Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, "Who do people say I am?"
Mark.8.27
Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, "Who do men say that I am?"
Mark.8.27
Jesus and his disciples left Galilee and went up to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. As they were walking along, he asked them, "Who do people say I am?"
Mark.8.28
And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
Mark.8.28
He then asked, "And you--what are you saying about me? Who am I?" Peter gave the answer: "You are the Christ, the Messiah."
Mark.8.28
They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets."
Mark.8.28
So they answered, "John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets."
Mark.8.28
"Well," they replied, "some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say you are one of the other prophets."
Mark.8.29
And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
Mark.8.29
Jesus warned them to keep it quiet, not to breathe a word of it to anyone.
Mark.8.29
"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "You are the Christ. "
Mark.8.29
He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ."
Mark.8.29
Then Jesus asked, "Who do you say I am?" Peter replied, "You are the Messiah."
Mark.8.30
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
Mark.8.30
He then began explaining things to them: "It is necessary that the Son of Man proceed to an ordeal of suffering, be tried and found guilty by the elders, high priests, and religion scholars, be killed, and after three days rise up alive."
Mark.8.30
Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
Mark.8.30
Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him.
Mark.8.30
But Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
Mark.8.31
And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Mark.8.31
He said this simply and clearly so they couldn't miss it. But Peter grabbed him in protest.
Mark.8.31
He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.
Mark.8.31
And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
Mark.8.31
Then Jesus began to tell them that he, the Son of Man, would suffer many terrible things and be rejected by the leaders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, and three days later he would rise again.
Mark.8.32
And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
Mark.8.32
Turning and seeing his disciples wavering, wondering what to believe, Jesus confronted Peter. "Peter, get out of my way! Satan, get lost! You have no idea how God works."
Mark.8.32
He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
Mark.8.32
He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.
Mark.8.32
As he talked about this openly with his disciples, Peter took him aside and told him he shouldn't say things like that.
Mark.8.33
But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
Mark.8.33
Calling the crowd to join his disciples, he said, "Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You're not in the driver's seat; I am. Don't run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I'll show you how.
Mark.8.33
But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said. "You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."
Mark.8.33
But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men."
Mark.8.33
Jesus turned and looked at his disciples and then said to Peter very sternly, "Get away from me, Satan! You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God's."
Mark.8.34
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Mark.8.34
Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self.
Mark.8.34
Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Mark.8.34
When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, "Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Mark.8.34
Then he called his disciples and the crowds to come over and listen. "If any of you wants to be my follower," he told them, "you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me.
Mark.8.35
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
Mark.8.35
What good would it do to get everything you want and lose you, the real you?
Mark.8.35
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it.
Mark.8.35
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.
Mark.8.35
If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will find true life.
Mark.8.36
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
Mark.8.36
What could you ever trade your soul for?
Mark.8.36
What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
Mark.8.36
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?
Mark.8.36
And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul in the process?
Mark.8.37
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark.8.37
"If any of you are embarrassed over me and the way I'm leading you when you get around your fickle and unfocused friends, know that you'll be an even greater embarrassment to the Son of Man when he arrives in all the splendor of God, his Father, with an army of the holy angels."
Mark.8.37
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark.8.37
Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
Mark.8.37
Is anything worth more than your soul?
Mark.8.38
Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Mark.8.38
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."
Mark.8.38
If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."
Mark.8.38
For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."
Mark.8.38
If a person is ashamed of me and my message in these adulterous and sinful days, I, the Son of Man, will be ashamed of that person when I return in the glory of my Father with the holy angels."
