馬可福音 8
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
使四千人吃飽
8 在那些日子裡，又一次，有一大群人，他們沒有什麼東西吃。耶穌召來門徒們，對他們說： 2 「我憐憫這群人，因為他們與我在一起已經三天了，也沒有什麼東西吃。 3 如果我讓他們餓著肚子回家，他們會在路上暈倒，因為有些人從遠處而來。」
4 他的門徒們回答：「在這曠野，從哪裡能得食物讓這些人吃飽呢？」
5 耶穌問他們：「你們有多少餅呢？」
他們回答說：「七個。」 6 耶穌就吩咐眾人坐在地上，於是拿起這七個餅，祝謝以後，掰開，不斷遞給他的門徒們，讓他們分發。門徒們就分給眾人； 7 他們還有幾條小魚，耶穌祝福了，就吩咐把牠們也分給眾人。 8 他們吃了，並且吃飽了。然後，他們把剩下的碎塊收拾起來，裝滿了[a]七個筐子。 9 當時約有四千人[b]。耶穌遣散了他們， 10 隨即與他的門徒們一起上船，來到達瑪努達[c]地區。
法利賽人與希律的酵
11 有些法利賽人出來，開始和耶穌辯論。他們試探耶穌，向他要求一個從天上來的神蹟。 12 耶穌靈裡深深地嘆息，就說：「這世代為什麼在尋求神蹟呢？我確實地告訴你們：絕不會有神蹟賜給這世代。」 13 於是他就離開他們，又上船往對岸去。
14 門徒們忘了帶餅，船上除了一個餅，再沒有別的了。 15 耶穌吩咐他們說：「你們要注意，要當心法利賽人的酵母和希律的酵母。」
16 門徒們因為沒有餅，就彼此討論。 17 耶穌知道了，就問他們：「你們為什麼討論沒有餅的事呢？你們還不明白，還不領悟，還是硬著心嗎？ 18 你們有眼睛卻看不見，有耳朵卻聽不見嗎？[d]難道不記得嗎？ 19 當我掰開那五個餅給五千人的時候，你們收拾的碎塊裝滿了幾個籃子呢？」
門徒們回答說：「十二個。」
20 「那七個餅給四千人的時候，你們收拾的碎塊裝滿了幾個筐子呢？」
門徒們回答說：「七個。」
21 耶穌對他們說：「你們還不領悟嗎？」
開盲人的眼睛
22 他們來到伯賽達，有人帶來一個瞎眼的，懇求耶穌摸他。 23 耶穌牽著瞎眼之人的手，領他到村子外面，吐唾沫在他的眼睛上，按手在他身上，問他：「你是否看見什麼？」
24 他抬頭一看，說：「我看見一些人！看起來好像樹在走路！」
25 然後耶穌又按手在他的眼睛上，他就看得清清楚楚了。他痊癒了，就清楚地看見了一切。 26 耶穌叫他回家，並說：「不要進這村子[e]。」
彼得認耶穌為基督
27 耶穌和他的門徒們往凱撒里亞菲利彼的那些村莊去。在路上，耶穌問他的門徒們，說：「人們說我是誰？」
28 他們回答他，說：「是施洗者[f]約翰，有的說是以利亞，也有的說是先知中的一位。」
29 耶穌又問他們：「那麼你們呢？你們說我是誰？」
彼得回答說：「你是基督！」
30 耶穌就告誡他們不要把有關他的事告訴任何人。
預言受難與復活
31 耶穌開始教導他們說：「人子必須受很多苦害，被長老們、祭司長們和經文士們棄絕，並且被殺，然後在第三天要復活。」 32 耶穌公開地講這些事，彼得把耶穌拉到一邊，開始勸阻他。
33 但耶穌轉過身，看了看他的門徒們，就斥責彼得，說：「撒旦，退到我後面去！因為你不是思想神的事，而是思想人的事。」
背起你的十字架
34 於是，耶穌把眾人和他的門徒們一起召來，對他們說：「如果有人想要跟從我，他就當捨棄自己，背起自己的十字架，然後跟從我。 35 因為凡想要保全[g]自己生命的，將失去生命；凡為我和福音的緣故失去自己生命的，將保全[h]生命。 36 一個人就是賺得了全世界，卻賠上了自己的生命[i]，到底有什麼益處呢？ 37 人到底能拿什麼來換回自己的生命[j]呢？ 38 在這淫亂、罪惡的世代，一個人如果以我和我的話為恥，當人子在他父的榮耀中，與聖天使們一起來臨的時候，也要以這個人為恥。」
Mark 8
The Voice
8 Once again a huge crowd had followed them, and they had nothing to eat. So Jesus called His disciples together.
Jesus: 2 These people have been with Me for three days without food. They’re hungry, and I am concerned for them. 3 If I try to send them home now, they’ll faint along the way because many of them have come a long, long way to hear and see Me.
Disciples: 4 Where can we find enough bread for these people in this desolate place?
Jesus: 5 How much bread do we have left?
Disciples: Seven rounds of flatbread.
6 So, as before, He commanded the people to sit down; and He took the rounds of flatbread, gave thanks for them, and broke them. His disciples took what He gave them and fed the people. 7 They also had a few small fish, which, after He had spoken a blessing, He likewise gave His followers to pass to the people. 8 When all had eaten their fill and they had gathered up the food that remained, seven baskets were full.
9 On this occasion, there were about 4,000 people who had eaten the food that Jesus provided. Jesus sent the crowd home; 10 then, immediately, He got into a boat with His disciples and sailed away. Upon their arrival in Dalmanutha in the district of Magdala, 11 they were met by Pharisees—ready with their questions and tests—seeking some sign from heaven that His teaching was from God.
Jesus (sighing with disappointment): 12 Why does this generation ask for a sign before they will believe? Believe Me when I say that you will not see one.
13 He left the Pharisees and sailed across to the other shore.
14 The disciples had forgotten to buy provisions, so they had only one round of flatbread among them. 15 Jesus took this moment to warn them.
Jesus: Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.
The disciples didn’t understand what Jesus was talking about and discussed it among themselves.
Some Disciples: 16 What?
Other Disciples: He’s saying this because we have run out of bread.
Jesus (overhearing them): 17-19 Why are you focusing on bread? Don’t you see yet? Don’t you understand? You have eyes—why don’t you see? You have ears—why don’t you hear? Are you so hard-hearted?
Don’t you remember when I broke the five rounds of flatbread among the 5,000? Tell Me, how many baskets of scraps were left over?
Disciples: Twelve.
Jesus: 20 And how many were left when I fed the 4,000 with seven rounds?
Disciples: Seven.
Jesus: 21 And still you don’t understand?
22 When they came into Bethsaida, a group brought a blind man to Jesus, and they begged Him to touch the man and heal him. 23 So Jesus guided the man out of the village, away from the crowd; and He spat on the man’s eyes and touched them.
Jesus: What do you see?
Blind Man (opening his eyes): 24 I see people, but they look like trees—walking trees.
25 Jesus touched his eyes again; and when the man looked up, he could see everything clearly.
26 Jesus sent him away to his house.
Jesus (to the healed man): Don’t go into town yet. [And don’t tell anybody in town what happened here.][a]
Bethsaida is the hometown of at least three of Jesus’ emissaries—Peter, Andrew, and Philip—and possibly James and John as well. Jesus performs many miracles there, most notably the feeding of the 5,000. However, this miracle—the healing of the blind man—is the only miracle in all the Gospels that is done in stages instead of instantly.
Of course, there’s no way to know for sure why Jesus chooses to heal this man partly before He heals him entirely. Jesus frequently links faith, or lack of faith, with the healings. Bethsaida is a town He criticizes for its lack of faith (Matthew 11:21–22). So it’s likely He wants to demonstrate to His disciples that their inability to see His purpose can be healed, too, even if it takes time.
27 As He traveled with His disciples into the villages of Caesarea Philippi, He posed an important question to them.
Jesus: Who do the people say that I am?
28 They told Him about the great speculation concerning His identity.
Disciples: Some of them say You are John the Baptist,[b] others say Elijah, while others say one of the prophets of old.
Jesus (pressing the question): 29 And who do you say that I am?
Peter: You are God’s Anointed, the Liberating King.
Jesus: 30 Don’t tell anyone. It is not yet time.
31 And He went on to teach them many things about Himself: how the Son of Man would suffer; how He would be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes; how He would be killed; and how, after three days, God would raise Him from the dead.
32 He said all these things in front of them all, but Peter took Jesus aside to rebuke Him.
Peter represents the best and worst in humanity. One day, Peter drops everything to become a follower of Jesus; the next, he’s busy putting his foot in his mouth. Peter is always responding to Jesus, frequently making mistakes, but never drifting far from Jesus’ side. In this passage, Peter verbalizes God’s word and Satan’s temptation—almost in the same breath. Peter thinks he understands who Jesus is, but he still has a lot to learn about what Jesus has come to do.
Jesus (seeing His disciples surrounding them): 33 Get behind Me, you tempter! You’re thinking only of human things, not of the things God has planned.
34 He gathered the crowd and His disciples alike.
Jesus: If any one of you wants to follow Me, you will have to give yourself up to God’s plan, take up your cross, and do as I do. 35 For any one of you who wants to be rescued will lose your life, but any one of you who loses your life for My sake and for the sake of this good news will be liberated. 36 Really, what profit is there for you to gain the whole world and lose yourself in the process? 37 What can you give in exchange for your life? 38 If you are ashamed of Me and of what I came to teach to this adulterous and sinful generation, then the Son of Man will be ashamed of you when He comes in the glory of His Father along with the holy messengers at the final judgment.
马可福音 8
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
给四千人吃饱的神迹(A)
8 那些日子，又有一大群人聚集，他们没有甚么东西吃。耶稣叫门徒来，对他们说： 2 “我怜悯这一群人，因为他们和我在一起已经有三天，没有甚么吃的了。 3 如果我叫他们散开，饿着肚子回家去，他们会在路上晕倒，因为有人是从很远的地方来的。” 4 门徒回答：“在这旷野地方，从哪里能找食物叫这些人吃饱呢？” 5 他问他们：“你们有多少饼？”他们说：“七个。” 6 耶稣吩咐群众坐在地上；拿起那七个饼，祝谢了，擘开递给门徒，叫他们摆开；门徒就摆在众人面前， 7 他们还有几条小鱼，耶稣祝了福，就吩咐把这些也摆开。 8 众人都吃了，并吃饱了。他们把剩下的零碎收拾起来，装满了七个大篮子。 9 当时人数约有四千。耶稣解散了群众， 10 就立刻和门徒上了船，来到大玛努他地区。
求耶稣显神迹(B)
11 法利赛人出来，跟耶稣辩论；他们想试探他，求他显个从天上来的神迹。 12 耶稣灵里深深地叹息，说：“这世代为甚么总是寻求神迹？我实在告诉你们，决不会有神迹显给这个世代的！” 13 于是他离开他们，又上船往对岸去了。
提防法利赛人和希律的酵(C)
14 门徒忘了带饼，船上除了一个饼，身边没有别的了。 15 耶稣嘱咐他们说：“你们要小心，提防法利赛人的酵和希律的酵！” 16 门徒彼此议论说：“这是因为我们没有饼吧？” 17 耶稣知道了，就说：“为甚么议论没有饼这件事呢？你们还不知道，还不明白吗？你们的心还是这么迟钝吗？ 18 你们有眼不能看，有耳不能听吗？你们不记得吗？ 19 我擘开那五个饼给五千人吃，你们收拾的零碎装满了几个篮子呢？”他们说：“十二个。” 20 “那七个饼分给四千人吃，你们收拾的零碎装满了几个大篮子呢？”他们说：“七个。” 21 耶稣说：“你们还不明白吗？”
治好伯赛大瞎眼的人
22 后来他们到了伯赛大，有人带了一个瞎眼的人到他跟前，求耶稣摸他。 23 耶稣拉着他的手，领他到村外，吐唾沫在他的眼睛上，又用双手按在他的身上，问他：“你看见甚么没有？” 24 他往上一看，说：“我看见人了！看见他们好象树走来走去。” 25 于是耶稣再按手在他的眼睛上，他定睛一看，就复原了，样样都看得清楚了。 26 耶稣叫他回家去，说：“连这村子你也不要进去。”
彼得承认耶稣是基督(D)
27 耶稣和门徒出去，要到该撒利亚．腓立比附近的村庄。在路上他问门徒说：“人说我是谁？” 28 他们回答：“有人说是施洗的约翰；有人说是以利亚；还有人说是先知里的一位。” 29 他又问他们说：“那么你们呢？你们说我是谁？”彼得回答：“你就是基督。” 30 耶稣郑重地嘱咐他们，不要把他的事告诉人。
耶稣预言受难及复活(E)
31 于是他教导他们，人子必须受许多苦，被长老、祭司长和经学家弃绝、杀害，三天后复活。 32 耶稣坦白地说了这话，彼得就把他拉到一边，责怪他。 33 耶稣转过身来，望着门徒，斥责彼得说：“撒但，退到我后面去！因为你不思念 神的事，只思念人的事。” 34 于是把众人和门徒都叫过来，对他们说：“如果有人愿意跟从我，就应当舍己，背起他的十字架来跟从我。 35 凡是想救自己生命的，必丧掉生命；但为我和福音牺牲生命的，必救了生命。 36 人就是赚得全世界，却赔上自己的生命，有甚么好处呢？ 37 人还能用甚么换回自己的生命呢？ 38 在淫乱罪恶的世代，凡把我和我的道当作可耻的，人子在他父的荣耀里，和圣天使一起降临的时候，也必把他当作可耻的。”
