马可福音 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
給四千人吃飽的神蹟(A)
8 那些日子，又有一大群人聚集，他們沒有甚麼東西吃。耶穌叫門徒來，對他們說： 2 “我憐憫這一群人，因為他們和我在一起已經有三天，沒有甚麼吃的了。 3 如果我叫他們散開，餓著肚子回家去，他們會在路上暈倒，因為有人是從很遠的地方來的。” 4 門徒回答：“在這曠野地方，從哪裡能找食物叫這些人吃飽呢？” 5 他問他們：“你們有多少餅？”他們說：“七個。” 6 耶穌吩咐群眾坐在地上；拿起那七個餅，祝謝了，擘開遞給門徒，叫他們擺開；門徒就擺在眾人面前， 7 他們還有幾條小魚，耶穌祝了福，就吩咐把這些也擺開。 8 眾人都吃了，並吃飽了。他們把剩下的零碎收拾起來，裝滿了七個大籃子。 9 當時人數約有四千。耶穌解散了群眾， 10 就立刻和門徒上了船，來到大瑪努他地區。
求耶穌顯神蹟(B)
11 法利賽人出來，跟耶穌辯論；他們想試探他，求他顯個從天上來的神蹟。 12 耶穌靈裡深深地歎息，說：“這世代為甚麼總是尋求神蹟？我實在告訴你們，決不會有神蹟顯給這個世代的！” 13 於是他離開他們，又上船往對岸去了。
提防法利賽人和希律的酵(C)
14 門徒忘了帶餅，船上除了一個餅，身邊沒有別的了。 15 耶穌囑咐他們說：“你們要小心，提防法利賽人的酵和希律的酵！” 16 門徒彼此議論說：“這是因為我們沒有餅吧？” 17 耶穌知道了，就說：“為甚麼議論沒有餅這件事呢？你們還不知道，還不明白嗎？你們的心還是這麼遲鈍嗎？ 18 你們有眼不能看，有耳不能聽嗎？你們不記得嗎？ 19 我擘開那五個餅給五千人吃，你們收拾的零碎裝滿了幾個籃子呢？”他們說：“十二個。” 20 “那七個餅分給四千人吃，你們收拾的零碎裝滿了幾個大籃子呢？”他們說：“七個。” 21 耶穌說：“你們還不明白嗎？”
治好伯賽大瞎眼的人
22 後來他們到了伯賽大，有人帶了一個瞎眼的人到他跟前，求耶穌摸他。 23 耶穌拉著他的手，領他到村外，吐唾沫在他的眼睛上，又用雙手按在他的身上，問他：“你看見甚麼沒有？” 24 他往上一看，說：“我看見人了！看見他們好像樹走來走去。” 25 於是耶穌再按手在他的眼睛上，他定睛一看，就復原了，樣樣都看得清楚了。 26 耶穌叫他回家去，說：“連這村子你也不要進去。”
彼得承認耶穌是基督(D)
27 耶穌和門徒出去，要到該撒利亞．腓立比附近的村莊。在路上他問門徒說：“人說我是誰？” 28 他們回答：“有人說是施洗的約翰；有人說是以利亞；還有人說是先知裡的一位。” 29 他又問他們說：“那麼你們呢？你們說我是誰？”彼得回答：“你就是基督。” 30 耶穌鄭重地囑咐他們，不要把他的事告訴人。
耶穌預言受難及復活(E)
31 於是他教導他們，人子必須受許多苦，被長老、祭司長和經學家棄絕、殺害，三天後復活。 32 耶穌坦白地說了這話，彼得就把他拉到一邊，責怪他。 33 耶穌轉過身來，望著門徒，斥責彼得說：“撒但，退到我後面去！因為你不思念 神的事，只思念人的事。” 34 於是把眾人和門徒都叫過來，對他們說：“如果有人願意跟從我，就應當捨己，背起他的十字架來跟從我。 35 凡是想救自己生命的，必喪掉生命；但為我和福音犧牲生命的，必救了生命。 36 人就是賺得全世界，卻賠上自己的生命，有甚麼好處呢？ 37 人還能用甚麼換回自己的生命呢？ 38 在淫亂罪惡的世代，凡把我和我的道當作可恥的，人子在他父的榮耀裡，和聖天使一起降臨的時候，也必把他當作可恥的。”
Mark 8
New King James Version
Feeding the Four Thousand(A)
8 In those days, (B)the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them, 2 “I have (C)compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.”
4 Then His disciples answered Him, “How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?”
5 (D)He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”
And they said, “Seven.”
6 So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. 7 They also had a few small fish; and (E)having blessed them, He said to set them also before them. 8 So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments. 9 Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away, 10 (F)immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.
The Pharisees Seek a Sign(G)
11 (H)Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. 12 But He (I)sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, (J)no sign shall be given to this generation.”
Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod(K)
13 And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side. 14 (L)Now [a]the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat. 15 (M)Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the [b]leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”
17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? (N)Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart [c]still hardened? 18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 (O)When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?”
They said to Him, “Twelve.”
20 “Also, (P)when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?”
And they said, “Seven.”
21 So He said to them, “How is it (Q)you do not understand?”
A Blind Man Healed at Bethsaida
22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a (R)blind man to Him, and begged Him to (S)touch him. 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when (T)He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.
24 And he looked up and said, “I see men like trees, walking.”
25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, [d]“Neither go into the town, (U)nor tell anyone in the town.”
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ(V)
27 (W)Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men say that I am?”
28 So they answered, (X)“John the Baptist; but some say, (Y)Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.”
29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
Peter answered and said to Him, (Z)“You are the Christ.”
30 (AA)Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him.
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection(AB)
31 And (AC)He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be (AD)rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be (AE)killed, and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33 But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He (AF)rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not [e]mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”
Take Up the Cross and Follow Him(AG)
34 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, (AH)“Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For (AI)whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? 37 Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 (AJ)For whoever (AK)is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
Mark 8
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.”
