Mark 8 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Four Thousand Fed

(Mat 15:32–39 )

Mar 8:1In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them,

Mar 8:2

Mar 8:2"I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;

Mar 8:3

Mar 8:3and if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long way."

Mar 8:4

Mar 8:4And his disciples answered him, "How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?"

Mar 8:5

Mar 8:5And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven."

Mar 8:6

Mar 8:6And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.

Mar 8:7

Mar 8:7And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.

Mar 8:8

Mar 8:8And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

Mar 8:9

Mar 8:9And there were about four thousand people.

Mar 8:10

Mar 8:10And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha.

(Mat 16:1–4 )

Mar 8:11

Mar 8:11The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him.

Mar 8:12

Mar 8:12And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

(Mat 16:5–12 )

Mar 8:13

Mar 8:13And he left them, and getting into the boat again he departed to the other side.

Mar 8:14

Mar 8:14Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

Mar 8:15

Mar 8:15And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

Mar 8:16

Mar 8:16And they discussed it with one another, saying, "We have no bread."

Mar 8:17

Mar 8:17And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

Mar 8:18

Mar 8:18Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?

Mar 8:19

Mar 8:19When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They said to him, "Twelve."

Mar 8:20

Mar 8:20"And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven."

Mar 8:21

Mar 8:21And he said to them, "Do you not yet understand?"

Mar 8:22

Mar 8:22And they came to Beth-sa'ida. And some people brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him.

Mar 8:23

Mar 8:23And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?"

Mar 8:24

Mar 8:24And he looked up and said, "I see men; but they look like trees, walking."

Mar 8:25

Mar 8:25Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.

Mar 8:26

Mar 8:26And he sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."

Peter's Confession of Christ

(Mat 16:13–20; Luk 9:18–20 )

Mar 8:27

Mar 8:27And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesare'a Philip'pi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

Mar 8:28

Mar 8:28And they told him, "John the Baptist; and others say, Eli'jah; and others one of the prophets."

Mar 8:29

Mar 8:29And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

Mar 8:30

Mar 8:30And he charged them to tell no one about him.

(Mat 16:21–23; Luk 9:21, 22 )

Mar 8:31

Mar 8:31And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

Mar 8:32

Mar 8:32And he said this plainly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

Mar 8:33

Mar 8:33But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men."

(Mat 16:24–27; Luk 9:23–26 )

Mar 8:34

Mar 8:34And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

Mar 8:35

Mar 8:35For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.

Mar 8:36

Mar 8:36For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

Mar 8:37

Mar 8:37For what can a man give in return for his life?

Mar 8:38

Mar 8:38For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
