Mark 8 (WEBP)
[1] In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself and said to them,
[2] “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
[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.”
[4] His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
[5] He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
[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 disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.
[7] They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
[8] They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
[9] Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
[10] Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
[11] The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
[12] He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation§ seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
[13] He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
[14] They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
[15] He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
[16] They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
[17] Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened?
[18] Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
[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.”
[20] “When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.”
[21] He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
[22] He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
[23] He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
[24] He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
[25] Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
[26] He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
[27] Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
[28] They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
[29] He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
[30] He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
[31] He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
[32] He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
[33] But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”
[34] He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
[35] For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.
[36] For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
[37] For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
[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 his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
Mark 8:12 The word translated “generation” here (genea) could also be translated “people”, “race”, or “family”.

Mark 8 (KJVS)
[1] In G1722 those G1565 days G2250 the multitude G3793 being G5607 (PresPtc) very great G3827, and G2532 having G2192 (PresActPtc) nothing G3361 G5101 to eat G5315 (Aor2ActSubj), Jesus G2424 called G4341 (AorMidDepPtc) his G846 disciples G3101 [unto him], and saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846,
[2] I have compassion G4697 (PresMidPasDepInd) on G1909 the multitude G3793, because G3754 they have G4357 now G2235 been G4357 (PresActInd) with me G3427 three G5140 days G2250, and G2532 have G2192 (PresActInd) nothing G3756 G5101 to eat G5315 (Aor2ActSubj):
[3] And G2532 if G1437 I send G630 them G846 away G630 (AorActSubj) fasting G3523 to G1519 their own G846 houses G3624, they will faint G1590 (FutPasInd) by G1722 the way G3598: for G1063 divers G5100 of them G846 came G2240 (PerfActInd) from far G3113.
[4] And G2532 his G846 disciples G3101 answered G611 (AorMidDepInd) him G846, From whence G4159 can G1410 (FutMidDepInd) a man G5100 satisfy G5526 (AorActInf) these G5128 [men] with bread G740 here G5602 in G1909 the wilderness G2047?
[5] And G2532 he asked G1905 (ImpfActInd) them G846, How many G4214 loaves G740 have ye G2192 (PresActInd)? And G1161 they said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Seven G2033.
[6] And G2532 he commanded G3853 (AorActInd) the people G3793 to sit down G377 (Aor2ActInf) on G1909 the ground G1093: and G2532 he took G2983 (Aor2ActPtc) the seven G2033 loaves G740, and gave thanks G2168 (AorActPtc), and brake G2806 (AorActInd), and G2532 gave G1325 (ImpfActInd) to his G846 disciples G3101 to G2443 set before G3908 (Aor2ActSubj) [them]; and G2532 they did set [them] before G3908 (AorActInd) the people G3793.
[7] And G2532 they had G2192 (ImpfActInd) a few G3641 small fishes G2485: and G2532 he blessed G2127 (AorActPtc), and commanded G2036 (Aor2ActInd) to set G3908 them G846 also G2532 before G3908 (Aor2ActInf) [them].
[8] So G1161 they did eat G5315 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 were filled G5526 (AorPasInd): and G2532 they took up G142 (AorActInd) of the broken G2801 [meat] that was left G4051 seven G2033 baskets G4711.
[9] And G1161 they that had eaten G5315 (Aor2ActPtc) were G2258 (ImpfInd) about G5613 four thousand G5070: and G2532 he sent G630 them G846 away G630 (AorActInd).
[10] And G2532 straightway G2112 he entered G1684 (Aor2ActPtc) into G1519 a ship G4143 with G3326 his G846 disciples G3101, and came G2064 (Aor2ActInd) into G1519 the parts G3313 of Dalmanutha G1148.
[11] And G2532 the Pharisees G5330 came forth G1831 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 began G756 (AorMidDepInd) to question G4802 (PresActInf) with him G846, seeking G2212 (PresActPtc) of G3844 him G846 a sign G4592 from G575 heaven G3772, tempting G3985 (PresActPtc) him G846.
[12] And G2532 he sighed deeply G389 (AorActPtc) in his G846 spirit G4151, and saith G3004 (PresActInd), Why G5101 doth G1934 this G3778 generation G1074 seek after G1934 (PresActInd) a sign G4592? verily G281 I say G3004 (PresActInd) unto you G5213, There shall no G1487 sign G4592 be given G1325 (FutPasInd) unto this G5026 generation G1074.
[13] And G2532 he left G863 (Aor2ActPtc) them G846, and entering G1684 (Aor2ActPtc) into G1519 the ship G4143 again G3825 departed G565 (Aor2ActInd) to G1519 the other side G4008.
[14] Now G2532 [the disciples] had forgotten G1950 (Aor2MidDepInd) to take G2983 (Aor2ActInf) bread G740, neither G2532 G3756 had G2192 (ImpfActInd) they in G1722 the ship G4143 with G3326 them G1438 more than G1508 one G1520 loaf G740.
[15] And G2532 he charged G1291 (ImpfMidInd) them G846, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Take heed G3708 (PresActImpr), beware G991 (PresActImpr) of G575 the leaven G2219 of the Pharisees G5330, and G2532 [of] the leaven G2219 of Herod G2264.
[16] And G2532 they reasoned G1260 (ImpfMidPasDepInd) among G4314 themselves G240, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), [It is] because G3754 we have G2192 (PresActInd) no G3756 bread G740.
[17] And G2532 when Jesus G2424 knew G1097 (Aor2ActPtc) [it], he saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846, Why G5101 reason ye G1260 (PresMidPasDepInd), because G3754 ye have G2192 (PresActInd) no G3756 bread G740? perceive ye G3539 (PresActInd) not yet G3768, neither G3761 understand G4920 (PresActInd)? have ye G2192 (PresActInd) your G5216 heart G2588 yet G2089 hardened G4456 (PerfPasPtc)?
[18] Having G2192 (PresActPtc) eyes G3788, see ye G991 (PresActInd) not G3756? and G2532 having G2192 (PresActPtc) ears G3775, hear ye G191 (PresActInd) not G3756? and G2532 do ye G3421 not G3756 remember G3421 (PresActInd)?
[19] When G3753 I brake G2806 (AorActInd) the five G4002 loaves G740 among G1519 five thousand G4000, how many G4214 baskets G2894 full G4134 of fragments G2801 took ye up G142 (AorActInd)? They say G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, Twelve G1427.
[20] And G1161 when G3753 the seven G2033 among G1519 four thousand G5070, how many G4214 baskets G4711 full G4138 of fragments G2801 took ye up G142 (AorActInd)? And G1161 they said G2036 (Aor2ActInd), Seven G2033.
[21] And G2532 he said G3004 (ImpfActInd) unto them G846, How G4459 is it that ye do G4920 not G3756 understand G4920 (PresActInd)?
[22] And G2532 he cometh G2064 (PresMidPasDepInd) to G1519 Bethsaida G966; and G2532 they bring G5342 (PresActInd) a blind man G5185 unto him G846, and G2532 besought G3870 (PresActInd) him G846 to G2443 touch G680 (AorMidSubj) him G846.
[23] And G2532 he took G1949 (Aor2MidDepPtc) the blind man G5185 by the hand G5495, and led G1806 (Aor2ActInd) him G846 out of G1854 the town G2968; and G2532 when he had spit G4429 (AorActPtc) on G1519 his G846 eyes G3659, and put G2007 (Aor2ActPtc) his hands G5495 upon him G846, he asked G1905 (ImpfActInd) him G846 if G1536 he saw G991 (PresActInd) ought G1536.
[24] And G2532 he looked up G308 (AorActPtc), and said G3004 (ImpfActInd), G3754 I see G991 (PresActInd) men G444 as G5613 G3708 (PresActInd) trees G1186, walking G4043 (PresActPtc).
[25] After G1534 that he put G2007 (AorActInd) [his] hands G5495 again G3825 upon G1909 his G846 eyes G3788, and G2532 made G4160 (AorActInd) him G846 look up G308 (AorActInf): and G2532 he was restored G600 (AorPasInd), and G2532 saw G1689 (AorActInd) every man G537 clearly G5081.
[26] And G2532 he sent G649 him G846 away G649 (AorActInd) to G1519 his G846 house G3624, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Neither G3366 go G1525 (Aor2ActSubj) into G1519 the town G2968, nor G3366 tell G2036 (Aor2ActSubj) [it] to any G5100 in G1722 the town G2968.
[27] And G2532 Jesus G2424 went out G1831 (Aor2ActInd), and G2532 his G846 disciples G3101, into G1519 the towns G2968 of Caesarea G2542 Philippi G5376: and G2532 by G1722 the way G3598 he asked G1905 (ImpfActInd) his G846 disciples G3101, saying G3004 (PresActPtc) unto them G846, Whom G5101 do G3004 men G444 say G3004 (PresActInd) that I G3165 am G1511 (PresInf)?
[28] And G1161 they answered G611 (AorMidDepInd), John G2491 the Baptist G910: but G1161 some G243 [say], Elias G2243; and G2532 others G243, One G1520 of the prophets G4396.
[29] And G2532 he G846 saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto them G846, But G1161 whom G5101 say G3004 (PresActInd) ye G5210 that I G3165 am G1511 (PresInf)? And G1161 Peter G4074 answereth G611 (AorPasDepPtc) and saith G3004 (PresActInd) unto him G846, Thou G4771 art G1488 (PresInd) the Christ G5547.
[30] And G2532 he charged G2008 (AorActInd) them G846 that G2443 they should tell G3004 (PresActSubj) no man G3367 of G4012 him G846.
[31] And G2532 he began G756 (AorMidDepInd) to teach G1321 (PresActInf) them G846, that G3754 the Son G5207 of man G444 must G1163 (PresInd) suffer G3958 (Aor2ActInf) many things G4183, and G2532 be rejected G593 (AorPasInf) of G575 the elders G4245, and G2532 [of] the chief priests G749, and G2532 scribes G1122, and G2532 be killed G615 (AorPasInf), and G2532 after G3326 three G5140 days G2250 rise again G450 (Aor2ActInf).
[32] And G2532 he spake G2980 (ImpfActInd) that saying G3056 openly G3954. And G2532 Peter G4074 took G4355 (Aor2MidPtc) him G846, and began G756 (AorMidDepInd) to rebuke G2008 (PresActInf) him G846.
[33] But G1161 when he had turned about G1994 (Aor2PasPtc) and G2532 looked G1492 (Aor2ActPtc) on his G846 disciples G3101, he rebuked G2008 (AorActInd) Peter G4074, saying G3004 (PresActPtc), Get thee G5217 (PresActImpr) behind G3694 me G3450, Satan G4567: for G3754 thou savourest G5426 (PresActInd) not G3756 the things that be of God G2316, but G235 the things that be of men G444.
[34] And G2532 when he had called G4341 (AorMidDepPtc) the people G3793 [unto him] with G4862 his G846 disciples G3101 also, he said G2036 (Aor2ActInd) unto them G846, Whosoever G3748 will G2309 (PresActInd) come G2064 (Aor2ActInf) after G3694 me G3450, let him deny G533 (AorMidDepImpr) himself G1438, and G2532 take up G142 (AorActImpr) his G846 cross G4716, and G2532 follow G190 (PresActImpr) me G3427.
[35] For G1063 whosoever G3739 G302 will G2309 (PresActSubj) save G4982 (AorActInf) his G846 life G5590 shall lose G622 (FutActInd) it G846; but G1161 whosoever G3739 G302 shall lose G622 (AorActSubj) his G846 life G5590 for G1752 my sake G1700 and G2532 the gospel’s G2098, the same G3778 shall save G4982 (FutActInd) it G846.
[36] For G1063 what G5101 shall it profit G5623 (FutActInd) a man G444, if G1437 he shall gain G2770 (AorActSubj) the whole G3650 world G2889, and G2532 lose G2210 (AorPasSubj) his own G846 soul G5590?
[37] Or G2228 what G5101 shall G1325 a man G444 give G1325 (FutActInd) in exchange G465 for his G846 soul G5590?
[38] Whosoever G3739 G302 therefore G1063 shall be ashamed G1870 (AorPasDepSubj) of me G3165 and G2532 of my G1699 words G3056 in G1722 this G5026 adulterous G3428 and G2532 sinful G268 generation G1074; of him G846 also G2532 shall G1870 the Son G5207 of man G444 be ashamed G1870 (FutPasDepInd), when G3752 he cometh G2064 (Aor2ActSubj) in G1722 the glory G1391 of his G846 Father G3962 with G3326 the holy G40 angels G32.
Young’s Literal Translation
Mark 8 (YLT)
[1] In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,
[2] ‘I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;
[3] and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.’
[4] And his disciples answered him, ‘Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?’
[5] And he was questioning them, ‘How many loaves have ye?’ and they said, ‘Seven.’
[6] And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before them; and they did set before the multitude.
[7] And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before them;
[8] and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces-seven baskets;
[9] and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,
[10] and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,
[11] and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;
[12] and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, ‘Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.’
[13] And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;
[14] and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,
[15] and he was charging them, saying, ‘Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,’
[16] and they were reasoning with one another, saying-‘Because we have no loaves.’
[17] And Jesus having known, saith to them, ‘Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?
[18] Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?
[19] When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?’ they say to him, ‘Twelve.’
[20] ‘And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?’ and they said, ‘Seven.’
[21] And he said to them, ‘How do ye not understand?’
[22] And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,
[23] and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put his hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:
[24] and he, having looked up, said, ‘I behold men, as I see trees, walking.’
[25] Afterwards again he put his hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,
[26] and he sent him away to his house, saying, ‘Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell it to any in the village.’
[27] And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, ‘Who do men say me to be?’
[28] And they answered, ‘John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.’
[29] And he saith to them, ‘And ye-who do ye say me to be?’ and Peter answering saith to him, ‘Thou art the Christ.’
[30] And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,
[31] and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;
[32] and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,
[33] and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, ‘Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.’
[34] And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, ‘Whoever doth will to come after me-let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;
[35] for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news’ sake, he shall save it;
[36] for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
[37] Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?
[38] for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.’
