The Good News According to Mark, Chapter 8
{8:1} In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they
had nothing to eat, Yeshua called his [1>]talmidim[<1] to himself, and
said to them, {8:2} "I have compassion on the multitude, because they
have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat. {8:3} If
I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way,
for some of them have come a long way."
{8:4} His [2>]talmidim[<2] answered him, "From where could one
satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
{8:5} He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?"
They said, "Seven."
{8:6} 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 [3>]talmidim[<3] to serve, and they served the multitude.
{8:7} They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve
these also. {8:8} They ate, and were filled. They took up seven
baskets of broken pieces that were left over. {8:9} Those who had
eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
{8:10} Immediately he entered into the boat with his
[4>]talmidim[<4], and came into the region of Dalmanuta. {8:11} The
Perushim came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign
from heaven, and testing him. {8:12} He sighed deeply in his spirit,
and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Most assuredly I tell
you, no sign will be given to this generation."
{8:13} He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to
the other side. {8:14} They forgot to take bread; and they didn't have
more than one loaf in the boat with them. {8:15} He charged them,
saying, "Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Perushim and the yeast
of Herod."
{8:16} They reasoned with one another, saying, "It's because we have
no bread."
{8:17} Yeshua, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you reason that
it's because you have no bread? Don't you perceive yet, neither
understand? Is your heart still hardened? {8:18} Having eyes, don't
you see? Having ears, don't you hear? Don't you remember? {8:19} 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."
{8:20} "When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many
baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?"
They told him, "Seven."
{8:21} He asked them, "Don't you understand, yet?"
{8:22} He came to Beit-Tzaidah. They brought a blind man to him, and
begged him to touch him. {8:23} He took hold of the blind man by the
hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his
eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
{8:24} He looked up, and said, "I see men; for I see them like trees
walking."
{8:25} Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently,
and was restored, and saw everyone clearly. {8:26} He sent him away to
his house, saying, "Don't enter into the village, nor tell anyone in
the village."
{8:27} Yeshua went out, with his [5>]talmidim[<5], into the villages
of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his [6>]talmidim[<6], "Who
do men say that I am?"
{8:28} They told him, "Yochanan the immerser, and others say Eliyah,
but others: one of the prophets."
{8:29} He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
Rock answered, "You are the Messiah."
{8:30} He charged them that they should tell no one about him.
{8:31} He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many
things, and be rejected by the Zakenim, the chief [7>]Kohanim[<7], and
the [8>]Sofrim[<8], and be killed, and after three days rise again.
{8:32} He spoke to them openly. Rock took him, and began to rebuke
him. {8:33} But he, turning around, and seeing his [9>]talmidim[<9],
rebuked Rock, and said, "Get behind me, Hasatan! For you have in mind
not the things of God, but the things of men."
{8:34} He called the multitude to himself with his
[10>]talmidim[<10], and said to them, "Whoever wants to come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. {8:35} For
whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his
life for my sake and the Good News# will save it. {8:36} For what does
it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? {8:37}
For what will a man give in exchange for his life? {8:38} 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 the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
