Mark 8
Easy-to-Read Version
Jesus Feeds More Than 4000(A)
8 Another time there were many people with Jesus. The people had nothing to eat. So he called his followers to him and said, 2 “I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me for three days, and now they have nothing to eat. 3 I should not send them home hungry. If they leave without eating, they will faint on the way home. Some of them live a long way from here.”
4 Jesus’ followers answered, “But we are far away from any towns. Where can we get enough bread to feed all these people?”
5 Then Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?”
They answered, “We have seven loaves of bread.”
6 Jesus told the people to sit on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks to God. He broke the bread into pieces and gave them to his followers. He told them to give the bread to the people, and they did as he said. 7 The followers also had a few small fish. Jesus gave thanks for the fish and told them to give the fish to the people.
8 They all ate until they were full. Then the followers filled seven baskets with the pieces of food that were left. 9 There were about 4000 men who ate. After they ate, Jesus told them to go home. 10 Then he went in a boat with his followers to the area of Dalmanutha.
Some People Doubt Jesus’ Authority(B)
11 The Pharisees came to Jesus and asked him questions. They wanted to test him. So they asked him to do a miracle as a sign from God. 12 Jesus sighed deeply and said, “Why do you people ask to see a miracle as a sign? I want you to know that no miracle will be done to prove anything to you.” 13 Then Jesus left them and went in the boat to the other side of the lake.
Jesus’ Followers Misunderstand Him(C)
14 The followers had only one loaf of bread with them in the boat. They forgot to bring more bread. 15 Jesus warned them, “Be careful! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16 The followers discussed the meaning of this. They said, “He said this because we have no bread.”
17 Jesus knew that the followers were talking about this. So he asked them, “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are you not able to understand? 18 Do you have eyes that can’t see? Do you have ears that can’t hear? Remember what I did before, when we did not have enough bread? 19 I divided five loaves of bread for 5000 people. Remember how many baskets you filled with pieces of food that were not eaten?”
The followers answered, “We filled twelve baskets.”
20 “And when I divided seven loaves of bread for 4000 people, how many baskets did you fill with the leftover pieces?”
They answered, “We filled seven baskets.”
21 Then he said to them, “You remember these things I did, but you still don’t understand?”
Jesus Heals a Blind Man in Bethsaida
22 Jesus and his followers came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch the man. 23 So Jesus held the blind man’s hand and led him out of the village. Then he spit on the man’s eyes. He laid his hands on him and asked, “Can you see now?”
24 The man looked up and said, “Yes, I see people. They look like trees walking around.”
25 Again Jesus laid his hands on the man’s eyes, and the man opened them wide. His eyes were healed, and he was able to see everything clearly. 26 Jesus told him to go home. He said, “Don’t go into the town.”
Peter Says Jesus Is the Messiah(D)
27 Jesus and his followers went to the towns in the area of Caesarea Philippi. While they were traveling, Jesus asked the followers, “Who do people say I am?”
28 They answered, “Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And others say you are one of the prophets.”
29 Then Jesus asked, “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”
30 Jesus told the followers, “Don’t tell anyone who I am.”
Jesus Says He Must Die(E)
31 Then Jesus began to teach his followers that the Son of Man must suffer many things. He taught that the Son of Man would not be accepted by the older Jewish leaders, the leading priests, and the teachers of the law. He said that the Son of Man must be killed and then rise from death after three days. 32 Jesus told them everything that would happen. He did not keep anything secret.
Peter took Jesus away from the other followers to talk to him alone. Peter criticized him for saying these things. 33 But Jesus turned and looked at his followers. Then he criticized Peter. He said to Peter, “Get away from me, Satan[a]! You don’t care about the same things God does. You care only about things that people think are important.”
34 Then Jesus called the crowd and his followers to him. He said, “Any of you who want to be my follower must stop thinking about yourself and what you want. You must be willing to carry the cross that is given to you for following me. 35 Any of you who try to save the life you have will lose it. But you who give up your life for me and for the Good News will save it. 36 It is worth nothing for you to have the whole world if you yourself are lost. 37 You could never pay enough to buy back your life. 38 People today are so sinful. They have not been faithful to God. As you live among them, don’t be ashamed of me and my teaching. If that happens, I[b] will be ashamed of you when I come with the glory of my Father and the holy angels.”

Seconda moltiplicazione dei pani
8 In quei giorni, essendoci di nuovo molta folla che non aveva da mangiare, chiamò a sé i discepoli e disse loro: 2 «Sento compassione di questa folla, perché gia da tre giorni mi stanno dietro e non hanno da mangiare. 3 Se li rimando digiuni alle proprie case, verranno meno per via; e alcuni di loro vengono di lontano». 4 Gli risposero i discepoli: «E come si potrebbe sfamarli di pane qui, in un deserto?». 5 E domandò loro: «Quanti pani avete?». Gli dissero: «Sette». 6 Gesù ordinò alla folla di sedersi per terra. Presi allora quei sette pani, rese grazie, li spezzò e li diede ai discepoli perché li distribuissero; ed essi li distribuirono alla folla. 7 Avevano anche pochi pesciolini; dopo aver pronunziata la benedizione su di essi, disse di distribuire anche quelli. 8 Così essi mangiarono e si saziarono; e portarono via sette sporte di pezzi avanzati. 9 Erano circa quattromila. E li congedò.
10 Salì poi sulla barca con i suoi discepoli e andò dalle parti di Dalmanùta.
I farisei domandano un segno dal cielo
11 Allora vennero i farisei e incominciarono a discutere con lui, chiedendogli un segno dal cielo, per metterlo alla prova. 12 Ma egli, traendo un profondo sospiro, disse: «Perché questa generazione chiede un segno? In verità vi dico: non sarà dato alcun segno a questa generazione». 13 E lasciatili, risalì sulla barca e si avviò all'altra sponda.
Il lievito dei farisei e di Erode
14 Ma i discepoli avevano dimenticato di prendere dei pani e non avevano con sé sulla barca che un pane solo. 15 Allora egli li ammoniva dicendo: «Fate attenzione, guardatevi dal lievito dei farisei e dal lievito di Erode!». 16 E quelli dicevano fra loro: «Non abbiamo pane». 17 Ma Gesù, accortosi di questo, disse loro: «Perché discutete che non avete pane? Non intendete e non capite ancora? Avete il cuore indurito? 18 Avete occhi e non vedete, avete orecchi e non udite? E non vi ricordate, 19 quando ho spezzato i cinque pani per i cinquemila, quante ceste colme di pezzi avete portato via?». Gli dissero: «Dodici». 20 «E quando ho spezzato i sette pani per i quattromila, quante sporte piene di pezzi avete portato via?». Gli dissero: «Sette». 21 E disse loro: «Non capite ancora?».
Guarigione di un cieco a Betsaida
22 Giunsero a Betsàida, dove gli condussero un cieco pregandolo di toccarlo. 23 Allora preso il cieco per mano, lo condusse fuori del villaggio e, dopo avergli messo della saliva sugli occhi, gli impose le mani e gli chiese: «Vedi qualcosa?». 24 Quegli, alzando gli occhi, disse: «Vedo gli uomini, poiché vedo come degli alberi che camminano». 25 Allora gli impose di nuovo le mani sugli occhi ed egli ci vide chiaramente e fu sanato e vedeva a distanza ogni cosa. 26 E lo rimandò a casa dicendo: «Non entrare nemmeno nel villaggio».
Professione di fede di Pietro
27 Poi Gesù partì con i suoi discepoli verso i villaggi intorno a Cesarèa di Filippo; e per via interrogava i suoi discepoli dicendo: «Chi dice la gente che io sia?». 28 Ed essi gli risposero: «Giovanni il Battista, altri poi Elia e altri uno dei profeti». 29 Ma egli replicò: «E voi chi dite che io sia?». Pietro gli rispose: «Tu sei il Cristo». 30 E impose loro severamente di non parlare di lui a nessuno.
Primo annunzio della passione
31 E cominciò a insegnar loro che il Figlio dell'uomo doveva molto soffrire, ed essere riprovato dagli anziani, dai sommi sacerdoti e dagli scribi, poi venire ucciso e, dopo tre giorni, risuscitare. 32 Gesù faceva questo discorso apertamente. Allora Pietro lo prese in disparte, e si mise a rimproverarlo. 33 Ma egli, voltatosi e guardando i discepoli, rimproverò Pietro e gli disse: «Lungi da me, satana! Perché tu non pensi secondo Dio, ma secondo gli uomini».
Condizioni per seguire Gesù
34 Convocata la folla insieme ai suoi discepoli, disse loro: «Se qualcuno vuol venire dietro di me rinneghi se stesso, prenda la sua croce e mi segua. 35 Perché chi vorrà salvare la propria vita, la perderà; ma chi perderà la propria vita per causa mia e del vangelo, la salverà. 36 Che giova infatti all'uomo guadagnare il mondo intero, se poi perde la propria anima? 37 E che cosa potrebbe mai dare un uomo in cambio della propria anima? 38 Chi si vergognerà di me e delle mie parole davanti a questa generazione adultera e peccatrice, anche il Figlio dell'uomo si vergognerà di lui, quando verrà nella gloria del Padre suo con gli angeli santi».

Russian Synodal Version
8 В те дни, когда собралось весьма много народа и нечего было им есть, Иисус, призвав учеников Своих, сказал им:
2 жаль Мне народа, что уже три дня находятся при Мне, и нечего им есть.
3 Если неевшими отпущу их в домы их, ослабеют в дороге, ибо некоторые из них пришли издалека.
4 Ученики Его отвечали Ему: откуда мог бы кто [взять] здесь в пустыне хлебов, чтобы накормить их?
5 И спросил их: сколько у вас хлебов? Они сказали: семь.
6 Тогда велел народу возлечь на землю; и, взяв семь хлебов и воздав благодарение, преломил и дал ученикам Своим, чтобы они раздали; и они раздали народу.
7 Было у них и немного рыбок: благословив, Он велел раздать и их.
8 И ели, и насытились; и набрали оставшихся кусков семь корзин.
9 Евших же было около четырех тысяч. И отпустил их.
10 И тотчас войдя в лодку с учениками Своими, прибыл в пределы Далмануфские.
11 Вышли фарисеи, начали с Ним спорить и требовали от Него знамения с неба, искушая Его.
12 И Он, глубоко вздохнув, сказал: для чего род сей требует знамения? Истинно говорю вам, не дастся роду сему знамение.
13 И, оставив их, опять вошел в лодку и отправился на ту сторону.
14 При сем ученики Его забыли взять хлебов и кроме одного хлеба не имели с собою в лодке.
15 А Он заповедал им, говоря: смотрите, берегитесь закваски фарисейской и закваски Иродовой.
16 И, рассуждая между собою, говорили: [это значит], что хлебов нет у нас.
17 Иисус, уразумев, говорит им: что рассуждаете о том, что нет у вас хлебов? Еще ли не понимаете и не разумеете? Еще ли окаменено у вас сердце?
18 Имея очи, не видите? имея уши, не слышите? и не помните?
19 Когда Я пять хлебов преломил для пяти тысяч [человек], сколько полных коробов набрали вы кусков? Говорят Ему: двенадцать.
20 А когда семь для четырех тысяч, сколько корзин набрали вы оставшихся кусков. Сказали: семь.
21 И сказал им: как же не разумеете?
22 Приходит в Вифсаиду; и приводят к Нему слепого и просят, чтобы прикоснулся к нему.
23 Он, взяв слепого за руку, вывел его вон из селения и, плюнув ему на глаза, возложил на него руки и спросил его: видит ли что?
24 Он, взглянув, сказал: вижу проходящих людей, как деревья.
25 Потом опять возложил руки на глаза ему и велел ему взглянуть. И он исцелел и стал видеть все ясно.
26 И послал его домой, сказав: не заходи в селение и не рассказывай никому в селении.
27 И пошел Иисус с учениками Своими в селения Кесарии Филипповой. Дорогою Он спрашивал учеников Своих: за кого почитают Меня люди?
28 Они отвечали: за Иоанна Крестителя; другие же--за Илию; а иные--за одного из пророков.
29 Он говорит им: а вы за кого почитаете Меня? Петр сказал Ему в ответ: Ты Христос.
30 И запретил им, чтобы никому не говорили о Нем.
31 И начал учить их, что Сыну Человеческому много должно пострадать, быть отвержену старейшинами, первосвященниками и книжниками, и быть убиту, и в третий день воскреснуть.
32 И говорил о сем открыто. Но Петр, отозвав Его, начал прекословить Ему.
33 Он же, обратившись и взглянув на учеников Своих, воспретил Петру, сказав: отойди от Меня, сатана, потому что ты думаешь не о том, что Божие, но что человеческое.
34 И, подозвав народ с учениками Своими, сказал им: кто хочет идти за Мною, отвергнись себя, и возьми крест свой, и следуй за Мною.
35 Ибо кто хочет душу свою сберечь, тот потеряет ее, а кто потеряет душу свою ради Меня и Евангелия, тот сбережет ее.
36 Ибо какая польза человеку, если он приобретет весь мир, а душе своей повредит?
37 Или какой выкуп даст человек за душу свою?
38 Ибо кто постыдится Меня и Моих слов в роде сем прелюбодейном и грешном, того постыдится и Сын Человеческий, когда приидет в славе Отца Своего со святыми Ангелами.
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.”
