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
New Life Version
The Feeding of the Four Thousand (A)
8 In those days many people were gathered together. They had nothing to eat. Jesus called His followers to Him and said, 2 “I pity these people because they have been with Me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home without food, they may be too weak as they go. Many of them have come a long way.”
4 His followers said to Him, “Where can anyone get enough bread for them here in this desert?” 5 He asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They said, “Seven.” 6 Then He told the people to sit down on the ground. Jesus took the seven loaves of bread and gave thanks to God. He broke the loaves and gave them to His followers to give to the people. The followers gave the bread to them. 7 They had a few small fish also. He gave thanks to God and told the followers to give the fish to them. 8 They all ate and were filled. They picked up seven baskets full of pieces of bread and fish after the people were finished eating. 9 About four thousand ate. Then Jesus sent the people away.
The Proud Religious Law-Keepers Ask for Something Special to See (B)
10 At once Jesus got in a boat with His followers and came to the country of Dalmanutha. 11 The proud religious law-keepers came and began to ask Him for something special to see from heaven. They wanted to trap Jesus. 12 He breathed deep within and said, “Why do the people of this day look for something special to see? For sure, I tell you, the people of this day will have nothing special to see from heaven.” 13 Then He left them. He got in the boat and went to the other side of the sea.
Jesus Shows That the Teaching of the Proud Religious Law-Keepers Is Wrong (C)
14 The followers had forgotten to take bread, only one loaf was in the boat. 15 He said to them, “Look out! Have nothing to do with the yeast of the proud religious law-keepers and of Herod.” 16 They talked about it among themselves. They said, “He said this because we forgot to bring bread.” 17 Jesus knew what they were thinking. He said to them, “Why are you talking among yourselves about forgetting to bring bread? Do you not understand? Is it not plain to you? Are your hearts still hard? 18 You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember? 19 When I divided the five loaves of bread among the five thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?” They said, “Twelve.” 20 “When I divided the seven loaves of bread among the four thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?” They said, “Seven.” 21 Then He asked, “Why do you not understand yet?”
Jesus Heals a Blind Man
22 Then they came to the town of Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to Jesus. They asked if He would touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand out of town. Then He spit on the eyes of the blind man and put His hands on him. He asked, “Do you see anything?” 24 The blind man looked up and said, “I see some men. They look like trees, walking.” 25 Jesus put His hands on the man’s eyes again and told him to look up. Then he was healed and saw everything well. 26 Jesus sent him to his home and said, “Do not go into the town, *or tell it to anyone there.”
Peter Says Jesus Is the Christ (D)
27 Jesus and His followers went from there to the towns of Caesarea Philippi. As they went, He asked His followers, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 They answered, “Some say John the Baptist and some say Elijah and others say one of the early preachers.” 29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said, “You are the Christ.” 30 He told them with strong words that they should tell no one about Him.
Jesus Tells of His Death for the First Time (E)
31 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things. He told them that the leaders and the religious leaders of the Jews and the teachers of the Law would have nothing to do with Him. He told them He would be killed and three days later He would be raised from the dead.
32 He had said this in plain words. Peter took Him away from the others and began to speak sharp words to Him. 33 Jesus turned around. He looked at His followers and spoke sharp words to Peter. He said, “Get behind Me, Satan! Your thoughts are not thoughts from God but from men.”
Giving Up Self and One’s Own Desires
34 Jesus called the people and His followers to Him. He said to them, “If anyone wants to be My follower, he must give up himself and his own desires. He must take up his cross and follow Me. 35 If anyone wants to keep his own life safe, he will lose it. If anyone gives up his life because of Me and because of the Good News, he will save it. 36 For what does a man have if he gets all the world and loses his own soul? 37 What can a man give to buy back his soul? 38 Whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words among the sinful people of this day, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in the shining-greatness of His Father and His holy angels.”
Mark 8
King James Version
8 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.
8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.
9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.
13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.
15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.
17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?
18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.
20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.
21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.
27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am?
28 And they answered, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets.
29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.
30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.
31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.
33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.
34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
