Mark 8
8IN THOSE days when [again] an immense crowd had gathered and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and told them,G1722G1565G2250G3793G5607G3827G2532G2192G3361G5101G5315G2424G4341G846G3101G3004G8462I have pity {and} sympathy for the people {and} My heart goes out to them, for they have been with Me now three days and have nothing [left] to eat;G4697G1909G3793G3754G4357G2235G4357G3427G5140G2250G2532G2192G3756G5101G53153And if I send them away to their homes hungry, they will be feeble through exhaustion {and} faint along the road; and some of them have come a long way.G2532G1437G630G846G630G3523G1519G846G3624G1590G1722G3598G1063G5100G846G2240G31134And His disciples replied to Him, How can anyone fill {and} satisfy [these people] with loaves of bread here in [this] desolate {and} uninhabited region?G2532G846G3101G611G846G4159G1410G5100G5526G5128G740G5602G1909G20475And He asked them, How many loaves have you? They said, Seven.G2532G1905G846G4214G740G2192G1161G2036G20336And He commanded the multitude to recline upon the ground, and He [then] took the seven loaves [of bread] and, having given thanks, He broke them and kept on giving them to His disciples to put before [the people], and they placed them before the crowd.G2532G3853G3793G377G1909G1093G2532G2983G2033G740G2168G2806G2532G1325G846G3101G2443G3908G2532G3908G37937And they had a few small fish; and when He had praised God {and} given thanks {and} asked Him to bless them [to their use], He ordered that these also should be set before [them].G2532G2192G3641G2485G2532G2127G2036G3908G846G2532G39088And they ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven [large provision] baskets full of the broken pieces left over.G1161G5315G2532G5526G2532G142G2801G4051G2033G47119And there were about 4,000 people. And He dismissed them,G1161G5315G2258G5613G5070G2532G630G846G63010And at once He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha (or Magdala).G2532G2112G1684G1519G4143G3326G846G3101G2064G1519G3313G114811The Pharisees came and began to argue with {and} question Him, demanding from Him a sign (an attesting miracle from heaven) [maliciously] to test Him.G2532G5330G1831G2532G756G4802G846G2212G3844G846G4592G575G3772G3985G84612And He groaned {and} sighed deeply in His spirit and said, Why does this generation demand a sign? Positively I say to you, no sign shall be given this generation.G2532G389G846G4151G3004G5101G1934G3778G1074G1934G4592G281G3004G5213G1487G4592G1325G5026G107413And He went away {and} left them and, getting into the boat again, He departed to the other side.G2532G863G846G1684G1519G4143G3825G565G1519G400814Now they had [completely] forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.G2532G1950G2983G740G2532G3756G2192G1722G4143G3326G1438G1508G1520G74015And Jesus [repeatedly and expressly] charged {and} admonished them, saying, Look out; keep on your guard {and} beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod {and the Herodians}.G2532G1291G846G3004G3708G991G575G2219G5330G2532G2219G226416And they discussed it {and} reasoned with one another, It is because we have no bread.G2532G1260G4314G240G3004G3754G2192G3756G74017And being aware [of it], Jesus said to them, Why are you reasoning {and} saying it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet discern or understand? Are your hearts in [a settled state of] hardness?G2532G2424G1097G3004G846G5101G1260G3754G2192G3756G740G3539G3768G3761G4920G2192G5216G2588G2089G445618Having eyes, do you not see [with them], and having ears, do you not hear {and} perceive {and} understand the sense of what is said? And do you not remember?G2192G3788G991G3756G2532G2192G3775G191G3756G2532G3421G3756G342119When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many [small hand] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to Him, Twelve.G3753G2806G4002G740G1519G4000G4214G2894G4134G2801G142G3004G846G142720And [when I broke] the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many [large provision] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? And they said to Him, Seven.G1161G3753G2033G1519G5070G4214G4711G4138G2801G142G1161G2036G203321And He kept repeating, Do you not yet understand?G2532G3004G846G4459G4920G3756G492022And they came to Bethsaida. And [people] brought to Him a blind man and begged Him to touch him.G2532G2064G1519G966G2532G5342G5185G846G2532G3870G846G2443G680G84623And He caught the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands upon him, He asked him, Do you [possibly] see anything?G2532G1949G5185G5495G1806G846G1854G2968G2532G4429G1519G846G3659G2007G5495G846G1905G846G1536G991G153624And he looked up and said, I see people, but [they look] like trees, walking.G2532G308G3004G3754G991G444G5613G3708G1186G404325Then He put His hands on his eyes again; and the man looked intently [that is, fixed his eyes on definite objects], and he was restored and saw everything distinctly [even what was at a distance].G1534G2007G5495G3825G1909G846G3788G2532G4160G846G308G2532G600G2532G1689G537G508126And He sent him away to his house, telling [him], Do not [even] enter the village {or tell anyone there.}G2532G649G846G649G1519G846G3624G3004G3366G1525G1519G2968G3366G2036G5100G1722G296827And Jesus went on with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He asked His disciples, Who do people say that I am?G2532G2424G1831G2532G846G3101G1519G2968G2542G5376G2532G1722G3598G1905G846G3101G3004G846G5101G3004G444G3004G3165G151128And they answered [Him], John the Baptist; and others [say], Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.G1161G611G2491G910G1161G243G2243G2532G243G1520G439629And He asked them, But who do you yourselves say that I am? Peter replied to Him, You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).G2532G846G3004G846G1161G5101G3004G5210G3165G1511G1161G4074G611G3004G846G4771G1488G554730And He charged them sharply to tell no one about Him.G2532G2008G846G2443G3004G3367G4012G84631And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must of necessity suffer many things and be tested {and} disapproved {and} rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again [from death].G2532G756G1321G846G3754G5207G444G1163G3958G4183G2532G593G575G4245G2532G749G2532G1122G2532G615G2532G3326G5140G2250G45032And He said this freely (frankly, plainly, and explicitly, making it unmistakable). And Peter took Him by the hand {and} led Him aside and then [facing Him] began to rebuke Him.G2532G2980G3056G3954G2532G4074G4355G846G756G2008G84633But turning around [His back to Peter] and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind Me, Satan! For you do not have a mind intent on promoting what God wills, but what pleases men [you are not on God's side, but that of men].G1161G1994G2532G1492G846G3101G2008G4074G3004G5217G3694G3450G4567G3754G5426G3756G2316G235G44434And Jesus called [to Him] the throng with His disciples and said to them, If anyone intends to come after Me, let him deny himself [forget, ignore, disown, and lose sight of himself and his own interests] and take up his cross, and [joining Me as a disciple and siding with My party] follow with Me [continually, cleaving steadfastly to Me].G2532G4341G3793G4862G846G3101G2036G846G3748G2309G2064G3694G3450G533G1438G2532G142G846G4716G2532G190G342735For whoever wants to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the Gospel's will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].G1063G3739G302G2309G4982G846G5590G622G846G1161G3739G302G622G846G5590G1752G1700G2532G2098G3778G4982G84636For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life [in the eternal kingdom of God]?G1063G5101G5623G444G1437G2770G3650G2889G2532G2210G846G559037For what can a man give as an exchange (a compensation, a ransom, in return) for his [blessed] life [in the eternal kingdom of God]?G2228G5101G1325G444G1325G465G846G559038For whoever is ashamed [here and now] of Me and My words in this adulterous (unfaithful) and [preeminently] sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when He comes in the glory (splendor and majesty) of His Father with the holy angels.G3739G302G1063G1870G3165G2532G1699G3056G1722G5026G3428G2532G268G1074G846G2532G1870G5207G444G1870G3752G2064G1722G1391G846G3962G3326G40G32
