Marcos 8
O Livro
Jesus alimenta 4000 homens
(Mt 15.32-39)
8 Naquele tempo, estando outra grande multidão reunida, o povo ficou novamente sem provisões. Jesus chamou os discípulos para perto de si e disse: 2 “Sinto compaixão desta gente, porque estão comigo há três dias e não têm com que se alimentar. 3 Se os mandar embora com fome, desfalecem pelo caminho, pois alguns vêm de muito longe.” 4 Os discípulos responderam-lhe: “E onde se poderá aqui num deserto arranjar pão para alimentá-los?” 5 “Quantos pães têm?”, inquiriu. “Sete”, responderam.
6 Mandou então que todos se sentassem no chão. E tomando os sete pães, deu graças a Deus, partiu-os em pedaços e entregou-os aos discípulos, para os levarem à multidão; e estes assim fizeram. 7 Encontraram também alguns peixinhos que Jesus igualmente abençoou e mandou os discípulos servir.
8 E a multidão comeu até ficar satisfeita. Recolhidas as sobras, ainda sobejaram sete cestos. 9 Havia cerca de 4000 homens. Então mandou-os embora.
Os religiosos pedem um sinal
(Mt 16.1-4)
10 Logo a seguir entrou num barco com os discípulos e foi para a região de Dalmanuta. 11 Quando os fariseus daquela terra souberam da sua chegada, vieram e começaram a discutir com ele, pedindo-lhe que fizesse um sinal do céu, para o porem à prova. 12 Ao ouvir estas palavras, sentiu-se profundamente triste no seu espírito e disse: “Porque pede esta geração um sinal? É realmente como vos digo: não receberá nenhum sinal!” 13 Então deixou-os e voltou para o barco, atravessando para a outra margem do lago.
O fermento dos fariseus e de Herodes
(Mt 16.5-12)
14 Os discípulos, contudo, tinham-se esquecido de fazer provisão de comida antes de partirem, pelo que só tinham um pão a bordo. 15 Durante a travessia, Jesus disse-lhes muito solenemente: “Prestem atenção, tenham cuidado com o fermento do rei Herodes e dos fariseus.”
16 “Que quererá dizer?”, perguntavam os discípulos uns aos outros. E chegaram à conclusão de que devia referir-se ao facto de se terem esquecido de levar pão.
17 Jesus percebeu o que discutiam entre si: “Porque se preocupam tanto por não terem pão? Nunca chegaram a compreender? Será porventura o vosso coração demasiado duro para entender isto? 18 Se têm olhos, porque não veem? Se têm ouvidos, porque não ouvem? Já não se lembram? 19 E os 5000 homens que alimentei só com cinco pães? Quantos cestos cheios de sobras recolheram depois?” Disseram: “Doze.” 20 “E quando alimentei os 4000 com sete pães, quanto sobejou?” Responderam: “Sete cestos cheios.” 21 Jesus disse-lhes: “Não perceberam ainda?”
A cura do cego de Betsaida
22 Quando chegaram a Betsaida, algumas pessoas trouxeram-lhe um cego, pedindo-lhe que tocasse nele e o curasse. 23 Jesus tomou o cego pela mão e levou-o para fora da aldeia. Aí, cuspiu-lhe nos olhos e pôs as mãos em cima deles. “Já vês alguma coisa?”, perguntou a seguir.
24 O homem olhou em volta: “Sim! Vejo homens mas não os distingo bem; parecem troncos de árvore a andar de um lado para o outro.”
25 Então pôs outra vez as mãos em cima dos olhos do homem e, quando olhou bem, tinha recuperado completamente a visão e via claramente o que se passava à sua volta. 26 Jesus mandou-o para casa, para junto da família. “Não passes sequer pela aldeia”, recomendou-lhe.
A confissão de Pedro sobre Jesus
(Mt 16.13-16, 20; Lc 9.18-21)
27 Jesus e os discípulos saíram da Galileia e foram para as vilas de Cesareia de Filipe. Enquanto caminhavam, perguntou-lhes: “Quem diz o povo que eu sou?”
28 “Há quem diga que és João Batista. Outros afirmam que és Elias ou um dos outros profetas.”
29 Então perguntou-lhes: “E vocês, quem pensam que eu sou?” Pedro respondeu: “Tu és o Cristo!” 30 Jesus recomendou-lhes que não o dissessem a ninguém.
Jesus fala da sua morte
(Mt 16.21-23; Lc 9.22)
31 E começou a ensiná-los: “O Filho do Homem está destinado a passar por muitos sofrimentos, ser rejeitado pelos anciãos, pelos principais sacerdotes e pelos especialistas na Lei e ser morto, mas três dias depois ressuscitará.” 32 Falando com eles abertamente, Pedro chamou-o à parte e começou a repreendê-lo.
33 Jesus voltou-se, e depois de olhar para os discípulos, disse severamente a Pedro: “Vai para trás de mim, Satanás! Vês as coisas do ponto de vista humano e não do ponto de vista de Deus.”
Como ser discípulo de Cristo
(Mt 16.24-28; Lc 9.23-27)
34 Chamando os discípulos e o povo para o ouvirem, falou-lhes assim: “Se alguém quiser ser meu seguidor, tem de esquecer-se de si próprio, tomar a sua cruz e seguir-me. 35 Quem quiser salvar a sua vida perdê-la-á. E quem perder a sua vida por minha causa e por causa do evangelho salvá-la-á. 36 Que lucro terá o homem em ganhar o mundo inteiro e causar dano à própria vida? 37 Haverá alguma coisa mais valiosa do que a própria vida da pessoa? 38 Quem se envergonhar de mim e das minhas palavras, no meio desta geração adúltera e pecadora, também o Filho do Homem se envergonhará desse, quando vier na glória de seu Pai com os santos anjos.”

Alimentación de los cuatro mil
8 En aquellos días, cuando había de nuevo una gran multitud que no tenía qué comer, (A)Jesús llamó a Sus discípulos y les dijo*: 2 «Tengo compasión de la multitud porque ya hace tres días que están junto a Mí y no tienen qué comer(B); 3 y si los despido sin comer a sus casas, desfallecerán en el camino, pues algunos de ellos han venido de lejos».
4 Sus discípulos le respondieron: «¿Dónde podrá alguien encontrar lo suficiente para saciar de pan[a] a estos aquí en el desierto?». 5 «¿Cuántos panes tienen?», les preguntó[b] Jesús. Ellos respondieron: «Siete».
6 Entonces mandó* a la multitud que se recostara en el suelo; y tomando los siete panes, después de dar gracias, los partió y los iba dando a Sus discípulos para que los pusieran delante de la gente; y ellos los sirvieron a[c] la multitud. 7 También tenían unos pocos pececillos; y después de bendecirlos(C), mandó que estos también los sirvieran[d].
8 Todos comieron y se saciaron; y recogieron de lo que sobró de los pedazos, siete canastas(D). 9 Los que comieron eran unos 4,000. Jesús los despidió, 10 y subiendo enseguida a la barca con Sus discípulos, se fue a la región de Dalmanuta(E).
Los fariseos buscan señal
11 (F)Entonces salieron los fariseos y comenzaron a discutir con Él, buscando de Él una señal[e] del cielo(G) para poner[f] a prueba a Jesús. 12 Suspirando profundamente(H) en Su espíritu[g], dijo*: «¿Por qué pide señal[h](I)esta generación? En verdad les digo que no se le dará señal[i]a esta generación». 13 Y dejándolos, se embarcó otra vez y se fue al otro lado del lago.
La levadura de los fariseos
14 Los discípulos se habían olvidado de tomar panes, y no tenían consigo en la barca sino solo un pan. 15 Jesús les encargaba[j] diciendo: «¡Tengan cuidado! Cuídense de la levadura de los fariseos(J)y de la levadura de Herodes(K)». 16 Y ellos discutían entre sí que no tenían panes.
17 Dándose cuenta Jesús, les dijo*: «¿Por qué discuten que no tienen panes? ¿Aún no comprenden ni entienden? ¿Tienen el corazón endurecido[k](L)? 18 Teniendo ojos, ¿no ven? Y teniendo oídos, ¿no oyen(M)? ¿No recuerdan 19 cuando partí los cinco panes entre los cinco mil(N)? ¿Cuántas cestas llenas de pedazos recogieron?». «Doce(O)», le respondieron*.
20 «Y cuando partí los siete panes entre los cuatro mil(P) , ¿cuántas canastas llenas de los pedazos recogieron?». «Siete(Q)», le dijeron*. 21 Entonces les dijo[l]: «¿Aún no entienden(R)?».
El ciego de Betsaida
22 Llegaron* a Betsaida(S), y trajeron* a Jesús un ciego y le rogaron* que lo tocara(T). 23 Tomando al ciego de la mano, lo sacó fuera de la aldea; y después de escupir(U) en sus ojos y de poner las manos sobre él(V), le preguntó: «¿Ves algo?».
24 Y levantando[m] la vista, dijo: «Veo a los hombres, pero los veo[n] como árboles que caminan». 25 Entonces Jesús puso otra vez las manos sobre sus ojos, y él miró fijamente y fue restaurado; y veía todo con claridad. 26 Y lo envió a su casa diciendo: «Ni aun en la aldea entres(W)».
La confesión de Pedro
27 (X)Jesús salió con Sus discípulos a las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo(Y); y en el camino preguntó a Sus discípulos: «¿Quién dicen los hombres que soy Yo?». 28 Le respondieron: «Unos, Juan el Bautista; y otros, Elías; pero otros, uno de los profetas(Z)». 29 Él les preguntó de nuevo: «Pero ustedes, ¿quién dicen que soy Yo?». «Tú eres el Cristo[o]», le respondió* Pedro(AA). 30 Y Jesús les advirtió severamente que no hablaran de Él a nadie(AB).
Jesús anuncia Su muerte y resurrección
31 (AC)Jesús comenzó a enseñarles que el Hijo del Hombre debía padecer muchas cosas, y ser rechazado por los ancianos, los principales sacerdotes y los escribas, y ser muerto, y después de tres días resucitar(AD). 32 Y les decía estas palabras claramente(AE). Entonces Pedro lo llevó aparte y comenzó a reprender a Jesús. 33 Pero Él volviéndose y mirando a Sus discípulos, reprendió a Pedro y le dijo*: «¡Quítate de delante de Mí[p], Satanás(AF)!, porque no tienes en mente las cosas de Dios, sino las de los hombres».
Condiciones para seguir a Jesús
34 Llamando Jesús a la multitud y a Sus discípulos, les dijo: «Si alguien quiere venir conmigo, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz, y sígame(AG). 35 Porque el que quiera salvar su vida[q], la perderá; pero el que pierda su vida por causa de Mí y del evangelio, la salvará(AH). 36 O, ¿de qué le sirve a un hombre ganar el mundo entero y perder su alma? 37 O, ¿qué dará un hombre a cambio de su alma? 38 Porque cualquiera que se avergüence de Mí y de Mis palabras en esta generación adúltera y pecadora, el Hijo del Hombre(AI)también se avergonzará(AJ)de él, cuando venga en la gloria de Su Padre con los santos ángeles(AK)».

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 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.”
