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”.

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.’
