Marc 8
Louis Segond
8 En ces jours-là, une foule nombreuse s'étant de nouveau réunie et n'ayant pas de quoi manger, Jésus appela les disciples, et leur dit:
2 Je suis ému de compassion pour cette foule; car voilà trois jours qu'ils sont près de moi, et ils n'ont rien à manger.
3 Si je les renvoie chez eux à jeun, les forces leur manqueront en chemin; car quelques-uns d'entre eux sont venus de loin.
4 Ses disciples lui répondirent: Comment pourrait-on les rassasier de pains, ici, dans un lieu désert?
5 Jésus leur demanda: Combien avez-vous de pains? Sept, répondirent-ils.
6 Alors il fit asseoir la foule par terre, prit les sept pains, et, après avoir rendu grâces, il les rompit, et les donna à ses disciples pour les distribuer; et ils les distribuèrent à la foule.
7 Ils avaient encore quelques petits poissons, et Jésus, ayant rendu grâces, les fit aussi distribuer.
8 Ils mangèrent et furent rassasiés, et l'on emporta sept corbeilles pleines des morceaux qui restaient.
9 Ils étaient environ quatre mille. Ensuite Jésus les renvoya.
10 Aussitôt il monta dans la barque avec ses disciples, et se rendit dans la contrée de Dalmanutha.
11 Les pharisiens survinrent, se mirent à discuter avec Jésus, et, pour l'éprouver, lui demandèrent un signe venant du ciel.
12 Jésus, soupirant profondément en son esprit, dit: Pourquoi cette génération demande-t-elle un signe? Je vous le dis en vérité, il ne sera point donné de signe à cette génération.
13 Puis il les quitta, et remonta dans la barque, pour passer sur l'autre bord.
14 Les disciples avaient oublié de prendre des pains; ils n'en avaient qu'un seul avec eux dans la barque.
15 Jésus leur fit cette recommandation: Gardez-vous avec soin du levain des pharisiens et du levain d'Hérode.
16 Les disciples raisonnaient entre eux, et disaient: C'est parce que nous n'avons pas de pains.
17 Jésus, l'ayant connu, leur dit: Pourquoi raisonnez-vous sur ce que vous n'avez pas de pains? Etes-vous encore sans intelligence, et ne comprenez-vous pas?
18 Avez-vous le coeur endurci? Ayant des yeux, ne voyez-vous pas? Ayant des oreilles, n'entendez-vous pas? Et n'avez-vous point de mémoire?
19 Quand j'ai rompu les cinq pains pour les cinq mille hommes, combien de paniers pleins de morceaux avez-vous emportés? Douze, lui répondirent-ils.
20 Et quand j'ai rompu les sept pains pour les quatre mille hommes, combien de corbeilles pleines de morceaux avez-vous emportées? Sept, répondirent-ils.
21 Et il leur dit: Ne comprenez-vous pas encore?
22 Ils se rendirent à Bethsaïda; et on amena vers Jésus un aveugle, qu'on le pria de toucher.
23 Il prit l'aveugle par la main, et le conduisit hors du village; puis il lui mit de la salive sur les yeux, lui imposa les mains, et lui demanda s'il voyait quelque chose.
24 Il regarda, et dit: J'aperçois les hommes, mais j'en vois comme des arbres, et qui marchent.
25 Jésus lui mit de nouveau les mains sur les yeux; et, quand l'aveugle regarda fixement, il fut guéri, et vit tout distinctement.
26 Alors Jésus le renvoya dans sa maison, en disant: N'entre pas au village.
27 Jésus s'en alla, avec ses disciples, dans les villages de Césarée de Philippe, et il leur posa en chemin cette question: Qui dit-on que je suis?
28 Ils répondirent: Jean Baptiste; les autres, Élie, les autres, l'un des prophètes.
29 Et vous, leur demanda-t-il, qui dites-vous que je suis? Pierre lui répondit: Tu es le Christ.
30 Jésus leur recommanda sévèrement de ne dire cela de lui à personne.
31 Alors il commença à leur apprendre qu'il fallait que le Fils de l'homme souffrît beaucoup, qu'il fût rejeté par les anciens, par les principaux sacrificateurs et par les scribes, qu'il fût mis à mort, et qu'il ressuscitât trois jours après.
32 Il leur disait ces choses ouvertement. Et Pierre, l'ayant pris à part, se mit à le reprendre.
33 Mais Jésus, se retournant et regardant ses disciples, réprimanda Pierre, et dit: Arrière de moi, Satan! car tu ne conçois pas les choses de Dieu, tu n'as que des pensées humaines.
34 Puis, ayant appelé la foule avec ses disciples, il leur dit: Si quelqu'un veut venir après moi, qu'il renonce à lui-même, qu'il se charge de sa croix, et qu'il me suive.
35 Car celui qui voudra sauver sa vie la perdra, mais celui qui perdra sa vie à cause de moi et de la bonne nouvelle la sauvera.
36 Et que sert-il à un homme de gagner tout le monde, s'il perd son âme?
37 Que donnerait un homme en échange de son âme?
38 Car quiconque aura honte de moi et de mes paroles au milieu de cette génération adultère et pécheresse, le Fils de l'homme aura aussi honte de lui, quand il viendra dans la gloire de son Père, avec les saints anges.
Mark 8
New American Standard Bible
Four Thousand Men Fed
8 In those days, (A)when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus summoned His disciples and *said to them, 2 “(B)I feel compassion for the [a]people because they have remained with Me for three days already and have nothing to eat. 3 And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance.” 4 And His disciples replied to Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough [b]bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?” 5 And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” 6 And He *directed the [c]people to recline on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve, and they served them to the [d]people. 7 They also had a few small fish; and (C)after He had blessed them, He told the disciples to serve these as well. 8 And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large (D)baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces. 9 About four thousand [e]men were there; and He dismissed them. 10 And immediately He got into the boat with His disciples and came to the region of (E)Dalmanutha.
11 (F)And the Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, (G)demanding from Him a [f]sign from heaven, [g]to test Him. 12 (H)Sighing deeply in His spirit, He *said, “Why does this generation demand a [h]sign? Truly I say to you, [i](I)no [j]sign will be given to this generation!” 13 And leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.
14 And the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them. 15 And He was giving orders to them, saying, “(J)Watch out! Beware of the [k]leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of (K)Herod.” 16 And they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread. 17 And Jesus, aware of this, *said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? (L)Do you not yet comprehend or understand? Do you still have your heart [l]hardened? 18 (M)Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember, 19 when I broke (N)the five loaves for the five thousand, how many (O)baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?” They *said to Him, “Twelve.” 20 “When I broke (P)the seven for the four thousand, how many large (Q)baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” And they *said to Him, “Seven.” 21 And He was saying to them, “(R)Do you not yet understand?”
22 And they *came to (S)Bethsaida. And some people *brought a man who was blind to [m]Jesus and *begged Him to (T)touch him. 23 Taking the man who was blind by the hand, He (U)brought him out of the village; and after (V)spitting in his eyes and (W)laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And he [n]looked up and said, “I see people, for I see them like trees, walking around.” 25 Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly. 26 And He sent him to his home, saying, “Do not even enter (X)the village.”
Peter’s Confession of Christ
27 (Y)Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of (Z)Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 (AA)They told Him, saying, “John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And He continued questioning them: “But who do you say that I am?” (AB)Peter answered and *said to Him, “You are the [o]Christ.” 30 And (AC)He [p]warned them to tell no one about Him.
31 (AD)And He began to teach them that (AE)the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise from the dead. 32 And He was stating the matter (AF)plainly. And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. 33 But turning around and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter and *said, “Get behind Me, (AG)Satan; for you are not setting your mind on [q]God’s purposes, but on man’s.”
34 And He summoned the crowd together with His disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, (AH)take up his cross, and follow Me. 35 For (AI)whoever wants to save his [r]life will lose it, but whoever loses his [s]life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. 36 For what does it benefit a person to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul? 37 For what could a person give in exchange for his soul? 38 For (AJ)whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, (AK)the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He (AL)comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
