Four Thousand Fed |
|
|
 |
|
Mark 8:1
|
|
In those days, when there was again a large
crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and *said
to them, |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:2
|
|
"I feel compassion for
the people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing
to eat. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 8:3
|
|
If I send them away hungry
to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a
great distance." |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 8:4
|
|
And His disciples answered Him, "Where will
anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these
people?" |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 8:5
|
|
And He was asking them, "How
many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven." |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 8:6
|
|
And He *directed
the people to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks
and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve to them, and
they served them to the people. |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 8:7
|
|
They also had a few small fish; and after He
had blessed them, He ordered these to be served as well. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:8
|
|
And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked
up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:9
|
|
About four thousand were there; and He sent
them away. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:10
|
|
And immediately He entered the boat with His
disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:11
|
|
The Pharisees came out and began to argue with
Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:12
|
|
Sighing deeply in His spirit, He *said,
"Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to
you, no sign will be given to this generation." |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:13
|
|
Leaving them, He again embarked and went away
to the other side. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:14
|
|
And they had forgotten to take bread, and did
not have more than one loaf in the boat with them. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:15
|
|
And He was giving orders to them, saying,
"Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod." |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:16
|
|
They began to discuss with one another the fact
that they had no bread. |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:17
|
|
And Jesus, aware of this, *said
to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread?
Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart? |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:18
|
|
HAVING EYES, DO YOU NOT
SEE? AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? And do you not remember, |
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:19
|
|
when I broke the five
loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked
up?" They *said
to Him, "Twelve." |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 8:20
|
|
"When I broke the seven
for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick
up?" And they *said
to Him, "Seven." |
| |
|
|
|
Mark 8:21
|
|
And He was saying to them, "Do
you not yet understand?" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:22
|
|
And they *came
to Bethsaida. And they *brought
a blind man to Jesus and *implored
Him to touch him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:23
|
|
Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought
him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on
him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:24
|
|
And he looked up and said, "I see men, for I
see them like trees, walking around." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:25
|
|
Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and
he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:26
|
|
And He sent him to his home, saying, "Do
not even enter the village." |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Peter's Confession of Christ |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:27
|
|
Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to
the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples,
saying to them, "Who do people say that I am?" |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:28
|
|
They told Him, saying, "John the Baptist; and
others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:29
|
|
And He continued by questioning them,
"But who do you say that I am?" Peter *answered
and *said
to Him, "You are the Christ." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:30
|
|
And He warned them to tell no one about Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
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 the chief priests and
the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:32
|
|
And He was stating the matter plainly. And Peter
took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:33
|
|
But turning around and seeing His disciples,
He rebuked Peter and *said,
"Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind
on God's interests, but man's." |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:34
|
|
And He summoned the crowd with His disciples,
and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he
must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:35
|
|
For whoever wishes to
save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's
will save it. |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:36
|
|
For what does it profit
a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:37
|
|
For what will a man give
in exchange for his soul? |
|
|
|
|
|
Mark 8:38
|
|
For whoever is ashamed
of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will
also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy
angels." |
