马可福音 8
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
使四千人吃饱
8 在那些日子里,又一次,有一大群人,他们没有什么东西吃。耶稣召来门徒们,对他们说: 2 “我怜悯这群人,因为他们与我在一起已经三天了,也没有什么东西吃。 3 如果我让他们饿着肚子回家,他们会在路上晕倒,因为有些人从远处而来。”
4 他的门徒们回答:“在这旷野,从哪里能得食物让这些人吃饱呢?”
5 耶稣问他们:“你们有多少饼呢?”
他们回答说:“七个。” 6 耶稣就吩咐众人坐在地上,于是拿起这七个饼,祝谢以后,掰开,不断递给他的门徒们,让他们分发。门徒们就分给众人; 7 他们还有几条小鱼,耶稣祝福了,就吩咐把它们也分给众人。 8 他们吃了,并且吃饱了。然后,他们把剩下的碎块收拾起来,装满了[a]七个筐子。 9 当时约有四千人[b]。耶稣遣散了他们, 10 随即与他的门徒们一起上船,来到达玛努达[c]地区。
法利赛人与希律的酵
11 有些法利赛人出来,开始和耶稣辩论。他们试探耶稣,向他要求一个从天上来的神迹。 12 耶稣灵里深深地叹息,就说:“这世代为什么在寻求神迹呢?我确实地告诉你们:绝不会有神迹赐给这世代。” 13 于是他就离开他们,又上船往对岸去。
14 门徒们忘了带饼,船上除了一个饼,再没有别的了。 15 耶稣吩咐他们说:“你们要注意,要当心法利赛人的酵母和希律的酵母。”
16 门徒们因为没有饼,就彼此讨论。 17 耶稣知道了,就问他们:“你们为什么讨论没有饼的事呢?你们还不明白,还不领悟,还是硬着心吗? 18 你们有眼睛却看不见,有耳朵却听不见吗?[d]难道不记得吗? 19 当我掰开那五个饼给五千人的时候,你们收拾的碎块装满了几个篮子呢?”
门徒们回答说:“十二个。”
20 “那七个饼给四千人的时候,你们收拾的碎块装满了几个筐子呢?”
门徒们回答说:“七个。”
21 耶稣对他们说:“你们还不领悟吗?”
开盲人的眼睛
22 他们来到伯赛达,有人带来一个瞎眼的,恳求耶稣摸他。 23 耶稣牵着瞎眼之人的手,领他到村子外面,吐唾沫在他的眼睛上,按手在他身上,问他:“你是否看见什么?”
24 他抬头一看,说:“我看见一些人!看起来好像树在走路!”
25 然后耶稣又按手在他的眼睛上,他就看得清清楚楚了。他痊愈了,就清楚地看见了一切。 26 耶稣叫他回家,并说:“不要进这村子[e]。”
彼得认耶稣为基督
27 耶稣和他的门徒们往凯撒里亚菲利彼的那些村庄去。在路上,耶稣问他的门徒们,说:“人们说我是谁?”
28 他们回答他,说:“是施洗者[f]约翰,有的说是以利亚,也有的说是先知中的一位。”
29 耶稣又问他们:“那么你们呢?你们说我是谁?”
彼得回答说:“你是基督!”
30 耶稣就告诫他们不要把有关他的事告诉任何人。
预言受难与复活
31 耶稣开始教导他们说:“人子必须受很多苦害,被长老们、祭司长们和经文士们弃绝,并且被杀,然后在第三天要复活。” 32 耶稣公开地讲这些事,彼得把耶稣拉到一边,开始劝阻他。
33 但耶稣转过身,看了看他的门徒们,就斥责彼得,说:“撒旦,退到我后面去!因为你不是思想神的事,而是思想人的事。”
背起你的十字架
34 于是,耶稣把众人和他的门徒们一起召来,对他们说:“如果有人想要跟从我,他就当舍弃自己,背起自己的十字架,然后跟从我。 35 因为凡想要保全[g]自己生命的,将失去生命;凡为我和福音的缘故失去自己生命的,将保全[h]生命。 36 一个人就是赚得了全世界,却赔上了自己的生命[i],到底有什么益处呢? 37 人到底能拿什么来换回自己的生命[j]呢? 38 在这淫乱、罪恶的世代,一个人如果以我和我的话为耻,当人子在他父的荣耀中,与圣天使们一起来临的时候,也要以这个人为耻。”
Mark 8
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 8
The Feeding of the Four Thousand.[a] 1 In those days when there again was a great crowd without anything to eat,(A) he summoned the disciples and said, 2 “My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a great distance.” 4 His disciples answered him, “Where can anyone get enough bread to satisfy them here in this deserted place?” 5 Still he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” “Seven,” they replied. 6 [b]He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then, taking the seven loaves he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to distribute, and they distributed them to the crowd. 7 They also had a few fish. He said the blessing over them and ordered them distributed also. 8 They ate and were satisfied. They picked up the fragments left over—seven baskets. 9 There were about four thousand people.
He dismissed them 10 and got into the boat with his disciples and came to the region of Dalmanutha.
The Demand for a Sign. 11 [c]The Pharisees came forward and began to argue with him,(B) seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him.(C) 12 He sighed from the depth of his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 Then he left them, got into the boat again, and went off to the other shore.
The Leaven of the Pharisees. 14 (D)They had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 [d]He enjoined them, “Watch out, guard against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” 16 They concluded among themselves that it was because they had no bread. 17 When he became aware of this he said to them, “Why do you conclude that it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet understand or comprehend? Are your hearts hardened?(E) 18 Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear? And do you not remember,(F) 19 when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up?” They answered him, “Twelve.” 20 “When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?” They answered [him], “Seven.” 21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”
The Blind Man of Bethsaida.[e] 22 When they arrived at Bethsaida, they brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. Putting spittle on his eyes he laid his hands on him and asked, “Do you see anything?”(G) 24 Looking up he replied, “I see people looking like trees and walking.” 25 Then he laid hands on his eyes a second time and he saw clearly; his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly. 26 Then he sent him home and said, “Do not even go into the village.”
III. The Mystery Begins to Be Revealed
Peter’s Confession About Jesus.[f] 27 Now Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi.(H) Along the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 They said in reply, “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to him in reply, “You are the Messiah.” 30 Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.
The First Prediction of the Passion. 31 (I)He began to teach them that the Son of Man[g] must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days. 32 He spoke this openly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 At this he turned around and, looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.”
The Conditions of Discipleship. 34 He summoned the crowd with his disciples and said[h] to them, “Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.(J) 35 For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel[i] will save it.(K) 36 What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? 37 What could one give in exchange for his life? 38 Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.”(L)
Footnotes
- 8:1–10 The two accounts of the multiplication of loaves and fishes (Mk 8:1–10; 6:31–44) have eucharistic significance. Their similarity of structure and themes but dissimilarity of detail are considered by many to refer to a single event that, however, developed in two distinct traditions, one Jewish Christian and the other Gentile Christian, since Jesus in Mark’s presentation (Mk 7:24–37) has extended his saving mission to the Gentiles.
- 8:6 See note on Mk 6:41.
- 8:11–12 The objection of the Pharisees that Jesus’ miracles are unsatisfactory for proving the arrival of God’s kingdom is comparable to the request of the crowd for a sign in Jn 6:30–31. Jesus’ response shows that a sign originating in human demand will not be provided; cf. Nm 14:11, 22.
- 8:15 The leaven of the Pharisees…of Herod: the corruptive action of leaven (1 Cor 5:6–8; Gal 5:9) was an apt symbol of the evil dispositions both of the Pharisees (Mk 8:11–13; 7:5–13) and of Herod (Mk 6:14–29) toward Jesus. The disciples of Jesus are warned against sharing such rebellious attitudes toward Jesus; cf. Mk 8:17, 21.
- 8:22–26 Jesus’ actions and the gradual cure of the blind man probably have the same purpose as in the case of the deaf man (Mk 7:31–37). Some commentators regard the cure as an intended symbol of the gradual enlightenment of the disciples concerning Jesus’ messiahship.
- 8:27–30 This episode is the turning point in Mark’s account of Jesus in his public ministry. Popular opinions concur in regarding him as a prophet. The disciples by contrast believe him to be the Messiah. Jesus acknowledges this identification but prohibits them from making his messianic office known to avoid confusing it with ambiguous contemporary ideas on the nature of that office. See further the notes on Mt 16:13–20.
- 8:31 Son of Man: an enigmatic title. It is used in Dn 7:13–14 as a symbol of “the saints of the Most High,” the faithful Israelites who receive the everlasting kingdom from the Ancient One (God). They are represented by a human figure that contrasts with the various beasts who represent the previous kingdoms of the earth. In the Jewish apocryphal books of 1 Enoch and 4 Ezra the “Son of Man” is not, as in Daniel, a group, but a unique figure of extraordinary spiritual endowments, who will be revealed as the one through whom the everlasting kingdom decreed by God will be established. It is possible though doubtful that this individualization of the Son of Man figure had been made in Jesus’ time, and therefore his use of the title in that sense is questionable. Of itself, this expression means simply a human being, or, indefinitely, someone, and there are evidences of this use in pre-Christian times. Its use in the New Testament is probably due to Jesus’ speaking of himself in that way, “a human being,” and the later church’s taking this in the sense of the Jewish apocrypha and applying it to him with that meaning. Rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes: the supreme council called the Sanhedrin was made up of seventy-one members of these three groups and presided over by the high priest. It exercised authority over the Jews in religious matters. See note on Mt 8:20.
- 8:34–35 This utterance of Jesus challenges all believers to authentic discipleship and total commitment to himself through self-renunciation and acceptance of the cross of suffering, even to the sacrifice of life itself. Whoever wishes to save his life will lose it…will save it: an expression of the ambivalence of life and its contrasting destiny. Life seen as mere self-centered earthly existence and lived in denial of Christ ends in destruction, but when lived in loyalty to Christ, despite earthly death, it arrives at fullness of life.
- 8:35 For my sake and that of the gospel: Mark here, as at Mk 10:29 equates Jesus with the gospel.
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.”
