Marcos 8
La Biblia de las Américas
Alimentación de los cuatro mil
8 En aquellos días, cuando de nuevo había una gran multitud que no tenía qué comer, (A)Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo*: 2 Tengo compasión de la multitud porque hace ya tres días que están conmigo y no tienen qué comer(B); 3 y si los despido sin comer a sus casas, desfallecerán en el camino, pues algunos de ellos han venido de lejos. 4 Sus discípulos le respondieron: ¿Dónde podrá alguien encontrar lo suficiente para saciar de pan[a] a estos aquí en el desierto? 5 Y Él les preguntó[b]: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos respondieron: Siete. 6 Entonces mandó* a la multitud que se recostara en el suelo; y tomando los siete panes, después de dar gracias, los partió y los iba dando a sus discípulos para que los pusieran delante de la gente; y ellos los sirvieron a[c] la multitud. 7 También tenían unos pocos pececillos; y después de bendecirlos(C), mandó que estos también los sirvieran[d]. 8 Todos comieron y se saciaron; y recogieron de lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete canastas(D). 9 Los que comieron eran unos cuatro mil; y los despidió. 10 Y subiendo enseguida a la barca con sus discípulos, fue a la región de Dalmanuta(E).
Los fariseos buscan señal
11 (F)Entonces salieron los fariseos y comenzaron a discutir con Él, buscando de Él una señal[e] del cielo(G) para ponerle[f] a prueba. 12 Suspirando profundamente(H) en su espíritu[g], dijo*: ¿Por qué pide señal[h](I) esta generación? En verdad os digo que no se le dará señal[i] a esta generación. 13 Y dejándolos, se embarcó otra vez y se fue al otro lado.
La levadura de los fariseos
14 Y se habían olvidado de tomar panes; y no tenían consigo en la barca sino solo un pan. 15 Y Él les encargaba[j] diciendo: ¡Tened cuidado! Guardaos de la levadura de los fariseos(J) y de la levadura de Herodes(K). 16 Y ellos discutían entre sí que no tenían panes. 17 Dándose cuenta Jesús, les dijo*: ¿Por qué discutís que no tenéis pan? ¿Aún no comprendéis ni entendéis? ¿Tenéis el corazón endurecido[k](L)? 18 Teniendo ojos, ¿no veis? Y teniendo oídos, ¿no oís(M)? ¿No recordáis 19 cuando partí los cinco panes entre los cinco mil(N)? ¿Cuántas cestas llenas de pedazos recogisteis? Y ellos le dijeron*: Doce(O). 20 Y cuando partí los siete panes entre los cuatro mil(P), ¿cuántas canastas llenas de los pedazos recogisteis? Y ellos le dijeron*: Siete(Q). 21 Y les dijo[l]: ¿Aún no entendéis(R)?
El ciego de Betsaida
22 Llegaron* a Betsaida(S), y le trajeron* un ciego y le rogaron* que lo tocara(T). 23 Tomando de la mano al ciego, lo sacó fuera de la aldea; y después de escupir(U) en sus ojos y de poner las manos sobre él(V), le preguntó: ¿Ves algo? 24 Y levantando[m] la vista, dijo: Veo a los hombres, pero los veo[n] como árboles que caminan. 25 Entonces Jesús puso otra vez las manos sobre sus ojos, y él miró fijamente y fue restaurado; y lo veía todo con claridad. 26 Y lo envió a su casa diciendo: Ni aun en la aldea entres(W).
La confesión de Pedro
27 (X)Salió Jesús con sus discípulos a las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo(Y); y en el camino preguntó a sus discípulos, diciéndoles: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que soy yo? 28 Y le respondieron, diciendo: Unos, Juan el Bautista; y otros, Elías; pero otros, uno de los profetas(Z). 29 Él les preguntó de nuevo: Pero vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo? Respondiendo Pedro, le dijo*: Tú eres el Cristo[o](AA). 30 Y Él les advirtió severamente que no hablaran de Él a nadie(AB).
Jesús anuncia su muerte y resurrección
31 (AC)Y comenzó a enseñarles que el Hijo del Hombre debía padecer muchas cosas, y ser rechazado por los ancianos, los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y ser muerto, y después de tres días resucitar(AD). 32 Y les decía estas palabras claramente(AE). Y Pedro le llevó aparte y comenzó a reprenderle. 33 Mas Él volviéndose y mirando a sus discípulos, reprendió a Pedro y le dijo*: ¡Quítate de delante de mí[p], Satanás(AF)!, porque no tienes en mente las cosas de Dios, sino las de los hombres.
Condiciones para seguir a Jesús
34 Y llamando a la multitud y a sus discípulos, les dijo: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz, y sígame(AG). 35 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida[q], la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida[r] por causa de mí y del evangelio, la salvará(AH). 36 Pues, ¿de qué le sirve a un hombre ganar el mundo entero y perder su alma? 37 Pues ¿qué dará un hombre a cambio de su alma? 38 Porque cualquiera que se avergüence de mí y de mis palabras en esta generación adúltera y pecadora, el Hijo del Hombre(AI) también se avergonzará(AJ) de él, cuando venga en la gloria de su Padre con los santos ángeles(AK).

GOD’S WORD Translation
Jesus Feeds Four Thousand(A)
8 About that time there was once again a large crowd with nothing to eat. Jesus called his disciples and said to them, 2 “I feel sorry for the people. They have been with me three days now and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home before they’ve eaten, they will become exhausted on the road. Some of them have come a long distance.”
4 His disciples asked him, “Where could anyone get enough bread to feed these people in this place where no one lives?”
5 Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?”
They answered, “Seven.”
6 He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. He took the seven loaves and gave thanks to God. Then he broke the bread and gave it to his disciples to serve to the people. 7 They also had a few small fish. He blessed them and said that the fish should also be served to the people. 8 The people ate as much as they wanted. The disciples picked up the leftover pieces and filled seven large baskets. 9 About four thousand people were there. Then he sent the people on their way.
10 After that, Jesus and his disciples got into a boat and went into the region of Dalmanutha.
The Pharisees Ask for a Sign from Heaven(B)
11 The Pharisees went to Jesus and began to argue with him. They tested him by demanding that he perform a miraculous sign from heaven.
12 With a deep sigh he asked, “Why do these people demand a sign? I can guarantee this truth: If these people are given a sign, it will be far different than what they want!”
13 Then he left them there.
The Yeast of the Pharisees(C)
He got into a boat again and crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. 14 The disciples had forgotten to take any bread along and had only one loaf with them in the boat.
15 Jesus warned them, “Be careful! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
16 They had been discussing with one another that they didn’t have any bread.
17 Jesus knew what they were saying and asked them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you don’t have any bread? Don’t you understand yet? Don’t you catch on? Are your minds closed? 18 Are you blind and deaf? Don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces?”
They told him, “Twelve.”
20 “When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many large baskets did you fill with leftover pieces?”
They answered him, “Seven.”
21 He asked them, “Don’t you catch on yet?”
Jesus Gives Sight to a Blind Man
22 As they came to Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus. They begged Jesus to touch him. 23 Jesus took the blind man’s hand and led him out of the village. He spit into the man’s eyes and placed his hands on him. Jesus asked him, “Can you see anything?”
24 The man looked up and said, “I see people. They look like trees walking around.”
25 Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes a second time, and the man saw clearly. His sight was normal again. He could see everything clearly even at a distance. 26 Jesus told him when he sent him home, “Don’t go into the village.”
Peter Declares His Belief about Jesus(D)
27 Then Jesus and his disciples went to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say I am?”
28 They answered him, “Some say you are John the Baptizer, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.”
29 He asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
Peter answered him, “You are the Messiah!”
30 He ordered them not to tell anyone about him.
Jesus Foretells That He Will Die and Come Back to Life(E)
31 Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man would have to suffer a lot. He taught them that he would be rejected by the leaders, the chief priests, and the experts in Moses’ Teachings. He would be killed, but after three days he would come back to life. 32 He told them very clearly what he meant.
Peter took him aside and objected to this. 33 Jesus turned, looked at his disciples, and objected to what Peter said. Jesus said, “Get out of my way, Satan! You aren’t thinking the way God thinks but the way humans think.”
What It Means to Follow Jesus(F)
34 Then Jesus called the crowd to himself along with his disciples. He said to them, “Those who want to follow me must say no to the things they want, pick up their crosses, and follow me. 35 Those who want to save their lives will lose them. But those who lose their lives for me and for the Good News will save them. 36 What good does it do for people to win the whole world yet lose their lives? 37 Or what should a person give in exchange for life? 38 If people are ashamed of me and what I say in this unfaithful and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of those people when he comes with the holy angels in his Father’s glory.”
Mark 8
New International Version
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand(A)(B)(C)
8 During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, 2 “I have compassion for these people;(D) they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.”
4 His disciples answered, “But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?”
5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.
“Seven,” they replied.
6 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so. 7 They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them.(E) 8 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.(F) 9 About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away, 10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven.(G) 12 He sighed deeply(H) and said, “Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it.” 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod
14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 “Be careful,” Jesus warned them. “Watch out for the yeast(I) of the Pharisees(J) and that of Herod.”(K)
16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”
17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?(L) 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”
“Twelve,”(M) they replied.
20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?”
They answered, “Seven.”(N)
21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”(O)
Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida
22 They came to Bethsaida,(P) and some people brought a blind man(Q) and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit(R) on the man’s eyes and put his hands on(S) him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”
24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.”
25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into[a] the village.”
Peter Declares That Jesus Is the Messiah(T)
27 Jesus and his disciples went on to the villages around Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked them, “Who do people say I am?”
28 They replied, “Some say John the Baptist;(U) others say Elijah;(V) and still others, one of the prophets.”
29 “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”(W)
30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.(X)
Jesus Predicts His Death(Y)
31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man(Z) must suffer many things(AA) and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law,(AB) and that he must be killed(AC) and after three days(AD) rise again.(AE) 32 He spoke plainly(AF) about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
33 But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!”(AG) he said. “You do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
The Way of the Cross
34 Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.(AH) 35 For whoever wants to save their life[b] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.(AI) 36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? 37 Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 38 If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man(AJ) will be ashamed of them(AK) when he comes(AL) in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”
