马可福音 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶稣使四千人吃饱
8 那时,又有一大群人聚在一起,他们没有东西吃。耶稣就叫来门徒,说: 2 “我怜悯这些人,他们跟我在一起已经三天,没有任何吃的了。 3 如果让他们饿着肚子回家,他们在路上会体力不支,因为有些人是远道而来的。”
4 门徒说:“在这荒野,如何找到足够的食物给这些人吃呢?”
5 耶稣问:“你们有多少饼?”
门徒答道:“七个。”
6 耶稣便吩咐大家坐在地上,然后拿着那七个饼祝谢了,掰开,递给门徒,让门徒分给大家,门徒就把饼分给大家。 7 他们还有几条小鱼。耶稣祝谢了,叫门徒分给众人。 8 大家都吃了,并且吃饱了,剩下的零碎装满了七个筐子。 9 吃的人约有四千。耶稣让众人回家后, 10 随即和门徒上船,来到大玛努他地区。
11 法利赛人出来盘问耶稣,要求祂从天上显一个神迹给他们看看,借此试探祂。 12 耶稣深深叹息道:“这世代的人为什么总是要看神迹呢?我实在告诉你们,没有神迹给这世代的人看。” 13 然后,耶稣离开他们,乘船回对岸去了。
防备法利赛人和希律的酵
14 门徒忘了带饼,船上只有一个饼。 15 耶稣警告他们:“你们要谨慎,要提防法利赛人和希律的酵!”
16 他们彼此议论说:“老师这样说,是不是因为我们没有带饼呢?”
17 耶稣知道他们的心思,就说:“你们为什么议论没有带饼的事呢?难道你们还不明白、不领悟吗?你们的心还是愚顽吗? 18 你们有眼不会看,有耳不会听吗?你们不记得吗? 19 我掰开五个饼分给五千人吃的时候,你们捡了多少篮的零碎呢?”
门徒答道:“十二篮。”
20 耶稣又说:“我用七个饼喂饱四千人的时候,你们捡了多少筐零碎呢?”
门徒答道:“七筐。”
21 耶稣接着说:“你们还不明白吗?”
治好伯赛大的瞎子
22 他们到了伯赛大,有人带来一个瞎子,求耶稣摸他。 23 耶稣拉着瞎子的手带他走到村外,吐唾沫在他的眼睛上,并把手按在他身上,问他:“你看见什么了?”
24 他抬头看了看,说:“我看见人们好像一棵棵的树,走来走去。”
25 耶稣把手按在他的眼睛上,他定睛一看,便恢复了视力,什么都看得清清楚楚。 26 耶稣叫他回家,并对他说:“不要再进这个村子了。”
彼得宣告耶稣是基督
27 耶稣和门徒前往凯撒利亚·腓立比境内的村庄。在路上,祂问门徒:“别人说我是谁?”
28 他们说:“有人说你是施洗者约翰,有人说你是以利亚,有人说你是众先知中的一位。”
29 耶稣又问他们:“那么,你们说我是谁?”
彼得回答说:“你是基督!”
30 耶稣吩咐他们不要泄露祂的身份。
耶稣预言自己的受难和复活
31 从此,耶稣便告诉他们,人子必须受许多苦,被长老、祭司长和律法教师弃绝,杀害,但必在三天之后复活。 32 耶稣清楚地把这些事告诉了他们,彼得就把祂拉到一边,劝阻祂。 33 耶稣转身看了看门徒,斥责彼得说:“撒旦,退到我后面去!因为你不考虑上帝的意思,只考虑人的意思。”
34 祂叫众人和门徒一起过来,对他们说:“如果有人要跟从我,就应当舍己,背起他的十字架跟从我。 35 因为想救自己生命的,必失去生命;但为了我和福音而失去生命的,必得到生命。 36 人就是赚得全世界,却丧失自己的生命,又有什么益处呢? 37 他还能用什么换回生命呢?
38 “在这淫乱、罪恶的世代,如果有人以我和我的道为耻,人子在父的荣耀中与圣天使再来的时候,也要以他为耻。”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶穌使四千人吃飽
8 那時,又有一大群人聚在一起,他們沒有東西吃。耶穌就叫來門徒,說: 2 「我憐憫這些人,他們跟我在一起已經三天,沒有任何吃的了。 3 如果讓他們餓著肚子回家,他們在路上會體力不支,因為有些人是遠道而來的。」
4 門徒說:「在這荒野,如何找到足夠的食物給這些人吃呢?」
5 耶穌問:「你們有多少餅?」
門徒答道:「七個。」
6 耶穌便吩咐大家坐在地上,然後拿著那七個餅祝謝了,掰開,遞給門徒,讓門徒分給大家,門徒就把餅分給大家。 7 他們還有幾條小魚。耶穌祝謝了,叫門徒分給眾人。 8 大家都吃了,並且吃飽了,剩下的零碎裝滿了七個筐子。 9 吃的人約有四千。耶穌讓眾人回家後, 10 隨即和門徒上船,來到大瑪努他地區。
11 法利賽人出來盤問耶穌,要求祂從天上顯一個神蹟給他們看看,藉此試探祂。 12 耶穌深深歎息道:「這世代的人為什麼總是要看神蹟呢?我實在告訴你們,沒有神蹟給這世代的人看。」 13 然後,耶穌離開他們,乘船回對岸去了。
防備法利賽人和希律的酵
14 門徒忘了帶餅,船上只有一個餅。 15 耶穌警告他們:「你們要謹慎,要提防法利賽人和希律的酵!」
16 他們彼此議論說:「老師這樣說,是不是因為我們沒有帶餅呢?」
17 耶穌知道他們的心思,就說:「你們為什麼議論沒有帶餅的事呢?難道你們還不明白、不領悟嗎?你們的心還是愚頑嗎? 18 你們有眼不會看,有耳不會聽嗎?你們不記得嗎? 19 我掰開五個餅分給五千人吃的時候,你們撿了多少籃的零碎呢?」
門徒答道:「十二籃。」
20 耶穌又說:「我用七個餅餵飽四千人的時候,你們撿了多少筐零碎呢?」
門徒答道:「七筐。」
21 耶穌接著說:「你們還不明白嗎?」
治好伯賽大的瞎子
22 他們到了伯賽大,有人帶來一個瞎子,求耶穌摸他。 23 耶穌拉著瞎子的手帶他走到村外,吐唾沫在他的眼睛上,並把手按在他身上,問他:「你看見什麼了?」
24 他抬頭看了看,說:「我看見人們好像一棵棵的樹,走來走去。」
25 耶穌把手按在他的眼睛上,他定睛一看,便恢復了視力,什麼都看得清清楚楚。 26 耶穌叫他回家,並對他說:「不要再進這個村子了。」
彼得宣告耶穌是基督
27 耶穌和門徒前往凱撒利亞·腓立比境內的村莊。在路上,祂問門徒:「別人說我是誰?」
28 他們說:「有人說你是施洗者約翰,有人說你是以利亞,有人說你是眾先知中的一位。」
29 耶穌又問他們:「那麼,你們說我是誰?」
彼得回答說:「你是基督!」
30 耶穌吩咐他們不要洩露祂的身分。
耶穌預言自己的受難和復活
31 從此,耶穌便告訴他們,人子必須受許多苦,被長老、祭司長和律法教師棄絕,殺害,但必在三天之後復活。 32 耶穌清楚地把這些事告訴了他們,彼得就把祂拉到一邊,勸阻祂。 33 耶穌轉身看了看門徒,斥責彼得說:「撒旦,退到我後面去!因為你不考慮上帝的意思,只考慮人的意思。」
34 祂叫眾人和門徒一起過來,對他們說:「如果有人要跟從我,就應當捨己,背起他的十字架跟從我。 35 因為想救自己生命的,必失去生命;但為了我和福音而失去生命的,必得到生命。 36 人就是賺得全世界,卻喪失自己的生命,又有什麼益處呢? 37 他還能用什麼換回生命呢?
38 「在這淫亂、罪惡的世代,如果有人以我和我的道為恥,人子在父的榮耀中與聖天使再來的時候,也要以他為恥。」
Mark 8
Expanded Bible
More than Four Thousand People Fed(A)
8 ·Another time [About this time] there was ·a [another] great crowd with Jesus that had nothing to eat. So Jesus called his ·followers [disciples] and said, 2 “I ·feel sorry [have compassion] for these people, because they have already been with me for three days, and they have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will ·faint [collapse] on the way. Some of them ·live a long way from here [have come from far away].”
4 Jesus’ ·followers [disciples] answered, “·How [L From where] can ·we [L anyone] get enough bread in this ·remote place [desolate place; desert] to feed them?”
5 Jesus asked, “How many loaves of bread do you have?”
They answered, “Seven.”
6 Jesus told the people to ·sit [recline] on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, gave thanks to God, and ·divided [broke] the bread. He gave the pieces to his ·followers [disciples] to give to the people, and they did so. 7 ·The followers [L They] also had a few small fish. After Jesus ·gave thanks for [blessed] the fish, he told his ·followers [disciples] to give them to the people also. 8 All the people ate and were satisfied. Then ·his followers [L they] filled seven ·baskets [large baskets; C a different word than in the feeding of the 5,000; 6:43] with the leftover pieces of food. 9 There were about four thousand people who ate. After they had eaten, Jesus ·sent them home [dismissed them]. 10 Then ·right away [immediately] he got into a boat with his ·followers [disciples] and went to the area of Dalmanutha. [C This place is unknown; it was probably on the western shore of Lake Galilee.]
The Leaders Ask for a Miracle(B)
11 The Pharisees came to Jesus and began to ·ask him questions [argue/dispute with him]. ·Hoping to trap [Trying to test] him, they asked Jesus for a ·miracle [sign] from ·God [L heaven; C possibly a sign in the sky, but more likely a Jewish way of saying “from God”]. 12 Jesus ·sighed [groaned] deeply and said, “Why ·do you people [L does this generation] ask for a miracle as a sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to ·you [this generation].” 13 Then Jesus left the Pharisees and went in the boat to the other side of the lake.
Guard Against Wrong Teachings(C)
14 His ·followers [disciples] had only one loaf of bread with them in the boat; they had forgotten to bring more. 15 Jesus warned them, “·Be careful [Watch out]! Beware of the ·yeast [leaven] of the Pharisees and the ·yeast [leaven] of Herod [C yeast or leaven refers here to the dangerous permeating power of their influence].”
16 They discussed the meaning of this, saying, “He said this because we have no bread.”
17 Knowing what they were talking about, Jesus asked them, “Why are you ·talking [discussing; arguing] about not having bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your ·minds closed [hearts hardened]? 18 ·You have eyes, but you don’t really see. You have ears, but you don’t really listen [Jer. 5:21; Ezek. 12:2]. ·Remember [L Don’t you remember] when 19 I ·divided [broke] five loaves of bread for the five thousand? How many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces of food?”
They answered, “Twelve.”
20 “And when I ·divided [broke] seven loaves of bread for the four thousand, how many [large] baskets did you fill with leftover pieces of food?”
They answered, “Seven.”
21 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
Jesus Heals a Blind Man
22 Jesus and his followers came to Bethsaida [6:45]. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus and begged him to touch the man. 23 So Jesus took the blind man’s hand and led him out of the village. Then he spit on the man’s eyes [see 7:33] and ·put [laid] his hands on the man and asked, “Can you see [anything] now?”
24 The man looked up and said, “Yes, I see people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25 Again Jesus ·put [laid] his hands on the man’s eyes. Then the man ·opened his eyes wide [stared intently] and ·they were healed [his sight was restored], and he was able to see everything clearly. 26 Jesus told him to go home, saying, “Don’t go into the town.”[a] [C Jesus wanted to avoid the publicity that the healing would produce.]
Peter Says Jesus Is the Christ(D)
27 Jesus and his ·followers [disciples] went to the towns around Caesarea Philippi [C a city about 25 miles north of Lake Galilee]. While they were traveling, Jesus asked them, “Who do people say I am?”
28 They answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist. Others say you are Elijah [a great prophet (1 Kin. 17), who was expected to return in the end times (Mal. 4:5); see 6:15], and others say you are one of the prophets.”
29 Then Jesus asked, “But who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “You are the ·Christ [Messiah].”
30 Jesus [strongly] warned them not to tell anyone who he was.
31 Then Jesus began to teach them that the Son of Man [Dan. 7:13–14] must suffer many things and that he would be rejected by the Jewish elders, the ·leading [T chief] priests, and the ·teachers of the law [scribes]. He told them that the Son of Man must be killed and then rise from the dead after three days. 32 Jesus told them ·plainly [boldly; openly] what would happen. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to ·reprimand [rebuke] him. 33 But Jesus turned and looked at his ·followers [disciples]. Then he ·reprimanded [rebuked] Peter. He said, “·Go away from me [L Get behind me], Satan [C Jesus accuses Peter of doing Satan’s work by obstructing God’s plan]! You ·don’t care about [are not setting your mind on/thinking about] the things of God, but only ·about things people think are important [on/about human concerns].”
34 Then Jesus called the crowd to him, along with his ·followers [disciples]. He said, “If ·people [L anyone wants] want to follow me, they must ·give up the things they want [deny themselves; set aside their own interests]. They must ·be willing even to give up their lives to [L take up their cross and] follow me. 35 Those who want to save their lives will ·give up true life [L lose their life/soul; C Greek psychē can mean “life” or “soul,” producing this play on words]. But those who ·give up [lose; sacrifice] their lives for ·me [my sake] and for the ·Good News [Gospel] will ·have true life [save their lives/souls]. 36 ·It is worthless [What good/profit/benefit is it…?] to ·have [gain] the whole world if they ·lose [forfeit] their souls. 37 ·They could never pay enough [L Or what could they give…?] ·to buy back [in exchange for] their souls. 38 If people of this ·sinful and evil time [adulterous and sinful generation] are ashamed of me and my ·teaching [words; message], the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he ·comes [returns] with his Father’s glory and with the holy angels [Dan. 7:13–14].”

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.
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.”
