Mark 8
Evangelical Heritage Version
Jesus Feeds More Than Four Thousand
8 In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples and said to them, 2 “I feel compassion for the crowd because they have already stayed with me three days and do not have anything to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will faint on the way. Some of them have come from a long distance.”
4 His disciples replied, “Where can anyone get enough bread to feed these people here in this deserted place?”
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”
“Seven,” they said.
6 He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, gave thanks, and broke them. He gave the pieces to his disciples to distribute to the crowd, and they did so. 7 They also had a few small fish. He blessed them and said that these should be distributed as well. 8 The people ate and were satisfied. They picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 9 About four thousand men were there. Then he sent them away. 10 Right after that, Jesus got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
A Sign From Heaven
11 The Pharisees came and began to argue with him. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. 12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Amen I tell you: No such sign will be given to this generation.” 13 After he left them and got back into the boat, he crossed to the other side.
Watch Out for the Teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees
14 They had forgotten to take bread along except for one loaf that they had with them in the boat. 15 “Watch out,” Jesus warned them. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16 They began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread.
17 Since Jesus knew this, he said to them, “Why are you discussing your lack of bread? Do you still not understand or comprehend? Do you have a hardened heart? 18 You have eyes—do you not see? You have ears—do you not hear? Do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you pick up?”
“Twelve,” they told him.
20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you pick up?”
“Seven,” they said.
21 He said to them, “Do you still not comprehend?”
Jesus Heals a Blind Man
22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought him a blind man and begged him to touch him. 23 He took hold of the blind man’s hand and led him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, he placed his hands on him and asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24 The man looked up and said, “I see people. To me they look like trees walking.”
25 Then Jesus placed his hands on his eyes again. The man opened his eyes and his sight was restored. He could see everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him home, saying, “Do not go into the village.”
Jesus Is the Christ
27 Jesus went away with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”
28 They told him, “John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others say one of the prophets.”
29 “But who do you say I am?” he asked them.
Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.”[a]
30 Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.
Jesus Predicts His Death and Resurrection
31 Jesus began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things; be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the experts in the law; be killed; and after three days rise again. 32 He was speaking plainly to them. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But after turning around and looking at his disciples, Jesus rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! You do not have your mind set on the things of God, but the things of men.”
Take Up the Cross
34 He called the crowd and his disciples together and said to them, “If anyone wants to follow me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. 35 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it. But whoever loses his life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it. 36 After all, what good is it for a man to gain the whole world and yet forfeit his soul? 37 Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? 38 In fact, whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”

Chúa Hóa Bánh Cho Bốn Ngàn Người Ăn(A)
8 Trong khoảng thời gian đó, lại có một đoàn dân đông đảo tụ tập và cũng không có gì ăn nên Đức Giê-su gọi các môn đệ đến bảo: 2 “Ta thương xót đoàn dân này vì họ đã ở với Ta ba ngày mà không có gì ăn. 3 Nếu Ta để họ nhịn đói về nhà, chắc họ sẽ ngất xỉu dọc đường vì có một số người từ xa đến.”
4 Các môn đệ thưa: “Trong miền hoang vắng này tìm đâu ra bánh cho họ ăn.”
5 Ngài hỏi: “Các con có mấy cái bánh?” Họ thưa: “Dạ bảy cái.”
6 Ngài truyền cho đoàn dân ngồi xuống đất, rồi lấy bảy cái bánh, cảm tạ Đức Chúa Trời, bẻ ra, đưa cho các môn đệ phân phát cho dân chúng. 7 Họ cũng có vài con cá nhỏ; Ngài ban phước rồi bảo môn đệ đem phân phát. 8 Ai nấy đều ăn no, còn những miếng bánh thừa người ta thu được bảy giỏ. 9 Số người ăn ước chừng bốn ngàn. Rồi Ngài cho họ về, 10 còn Ngài và các môn đệ liền lên thuyền sang vùng Đa-ma-nu-tha.
Dấu Lạ Từ Trời(B)
11 Một số người Pha-ri-si đến tìm cách tranh luận với Ngài, xin Ngài làm một dấu lạ từ trời để thử Ngài. 12 Ngài than thở trong lòng:[a] “Tại sao thế hệ này đòi xem dấu lạ? Ta quả quyết cùng các ông, thế hệ này sẽ chẳng được dấu lạ nào.” 13 Rồi Ngài rời họ, lên thuyền trở lại sang bờ bên kia.
Men Của Người Pha-ri-si(C)
14 Các môn đệ quên đem bánh theo, trong thuyền chỉ có một cái bánh. 15 Ngài răn dạy họ: “Hãy thận trọng, đề phòng men của người Pha-ri-si và của đảng Hê-rốt.”
16 Họ bàn cãi với nhau tại mình không có bánh.
17 Biết điều đó, Ngài bảo họ: “Sao các con bàn cãi vì không có bánh? Sao các con vẫn chưa biết, chưa hiểu? Lòng các con vẫn còn cứng cỏi thế? 18 Sao có mắt mà không thấy, có tai mà không nghe? Các con chẳng nhớ gì sao? 19 Khi Ta phân phát năm cái bánh cho năm ngàn người, các con thu được bao nhiêu giỏ đầy bánh thừa?” Họ thưa: “Mười hai giỏ!”
20 “Còn khi Ta phân phát bảy cái bánh cho bốn ngàn người, các con thu được bao nhiêu giỏ đầy bánh thừa?” Họ thưa: “Bảy giỏ!” 21 Ngài bảo họ: “Vậy mà các con chưa hiểu sao?”
Đức Giê-su Chữa Lành Người Mù Ở Bết-sai-đa
22 Đức Giê-su và môn đệ vào thành Bết-sai-đa, người ta đem đến cho Ngài một người mù, xin Ngài đặt tay chữa lành. 23 Ngài nắm tay người mù dắt ra khỏi làng, phun nước miếng vào mắt và đặt tay trên người anh rồi hỏi: “Anh có thấy gì không?”
24 Người mù ngước nhìn, và thưa rằng: “Tôi thấy người ta như cây cối đi qua đi lại.”
25 Ngài lại đặt tay trên đôi mắt anh; anh ngước nhìn lên, mắt liền được sáng, thấy rõ mọi vật. 26 Ngài bảo anh về nhà và dặn rằng: “Đừng trở vào trong làng.”
Phê-rơ Xưng Nhận Đức Giê-su Là Chúa Cứu Thế(D)
27 Đức Giê-su và các môn đệ đi đến các làng thuộc vùng Sê-sa-rê Phi-líp. Dọc đường, Ngài hỏi: “Người ta nói Ta là ai?”
28 Họ đáp: “Có người nói Thầy là Giăng Báp-tít, người cho là Ê-li, cũng có người bảo là một trong các tiên tri của Chúa.”
29 Ngài lại hỏi: “Còn các con nói Ta là ai?” Phê-rơ thưa rằng: “Thầy là Chúa Cứu Thế.”
30 Ngài nghiêm cấm các môn đệ không được nói cho ai biết về Ngài.
Đức Giê-su Báo Trước Về Cái Chết Của Ngài(E)
31 Rồi Đức Giê-su bắt đầu dạy họ: “Con Người phải chịu nhiều khốn khổ, sẽ bị các trưởng lão, các thượng tế, các giáo sư Kinh Luật khai trừ, giết chết, rồi sau ba ngày sẽ sống lại.” 32 Ngài nói điều này cách công khai; Phê-rơ mời riêng Ngài ra can gián.
33 Nhưng Ngài quay lại nhìn các môn đệ, rồi quở Phê-rơ: “Sa-tan, hãy lui ra sau Ta, vì con không lưu tâm đến việc Đức Chúa Trời, nhưng chỉ nghĩ đến việc loài người.”
Điều Kiện Để Làm Môn Đệ Chúa
34 Sau đó, Đức Giê-su gọi dân chúng và các môn đệ đến truyền dạy rằng: “Nếu ai muốn theo làm môn đệ Ta phải từ bỏ bản thân mình, vác thập tự giá mình mà theo Ta. 35 Vì người nào muốn cứu mạng sống[b] mình, thì sẽ mất, nhưng ai vì Ta và Phúc Âm mà mất mạng sẽ cứu được mạng mình. 36 Vì nếu một người được cả thế gian mà mất linh hồn thì ích lợi gì? 37 Vì người sẽ lấy gì để đánh đổi linh hồn mình lại? 38 Vì nếu ai hổ thẹn về Ta và đạo Ta giữa dòng dõi gian dâm tội lỗi này, thì Con Người cũng sẽ hổ thẹn về người đó khi Ngài trở lại trong vinh quang của Cha Ngài với các thiên sứ thánh của Ngài.”
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.”
