Marcos 8

Jesús alimenta a los cuatro mil
8 En aquellos días, de nuevo había una gran multitud que no tenía qué comer. Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo:
2 ―Siento compasión de la gente, porque ya llevan tres días aquí y se les ha acabado la comida. 3 Si los envío sin comer, se desmayarán en el camino porque muchos han venido de lejos.
4 ―Y en un lugar desierto como este, ¿dónde se podrá encontrar alimentos para darles de comer? —protestaron los discípulos.
5 ―¿Cuántos panes tienen? —les preguntó.
―Siete —respondieron.
6 Pidió a la multitud que se sentara en el suelo. Luego tomó los siete panes, dio gracias a Dios por ellos, los partió y los fue pasando a los discípulos. Los discípulos a su vez los fueron distribuyendo. 7 Encontraron también unos pescaditos. Jesús los bendijo y pidió a los discípulos que los repartieran. 8 Todos comieron y se hartaron. Al terminar, recogieron siete cestas de alimentos que sobraron; 9 y eran como cuatro mil los que comieron. Después Jesús los despidió.
10 Acto seguido se embarcó con sus discípulos hacia la región de Dalmanuta. 11 Allí llegaron los fariseos y empezaron a discutir con él.
Para ponerlo a prueba le dijeron:
―Haz alguna señal en el cielo.
12 Y él, suspirando profundamente, respondió:
―¿Por qué pide esta gente una señal? Les aseguro que no se le dará ninguna. 13 Entonces los dejó y se embarcó de nuevo. Esta vez se fue al otro lado del lago.
La levadura de los fariseos y la de Herodes
14 A los discípulos se les olvidó comprar alimentos antes de salir, y sólo tenían un pan en la barca. 15 Jesús les advirtió:
―¡Cuidado con la levadura del rey Herodes y la de los fariseos!
16 Los discípulos se preguntaban intrigados: ¿Se referirá a que se nos olvidó el pan?
17 Jesús, que sabía lo que estaban comentando, les dijo:
―¿Por qué están hablando de que no tienen pan? ¿Todavía no ven ni entienden? ¿Tienen el corazón tan endurecido? 18 ¿Acaso tienen ojos y no ven, y oídos y no escuchan? ¿Ya no se acuerdan de 19 que alimenté a cinco mil hombres con cinco panes? ¿Cuántas cestas llenas sobraron?
―Doce— contestaron.
20 ―Y cuando alimenté a los cuatro mil con siete panes, ¿qué sobró?
―Siete cestas llenas —le respondieron.
21 ―¿Y todavía no entienden? —les dijo.
Jesús sana a un ciego en Betsaida
22 Llegaron luego a Betsaida; le llevaron a un ciego y le rogaron que lo tocara. 23 Jesús tomó al ciego de la mano y lo sacó del pueblo. Una vez fuera, le mojó los ojos con saliva y le puso las manos encima.
―¿Ves algo ahora? —le preguntó.
24 El hombre miró a su alrededor.
―¡Sí! —dijo—. Veo gente y parecen como árboles que caminan.
25 Jesús le colocó de nuevo las manos sobre los ojos, y el hombre miró fijamente y pudo ver todo con claridad.
26 Jesús le ordenó que regresara con su familia.
―No entres en el pueblo —le dijo.
La confesión de Pedro
27 Jesús y sus discípulos siguieron hacia los pueblos de Cesarea de Filipo. En el camino les preguntó:
―¿Quién cree la gente que soy?
28 ―Algunos dicen que eres Juan el Bautista —le respondieron—; y otros afirman que eres Elías o uno de los profetas.
29 ―¿Y quién creen ustedes que soy?
Pedro le respondió:
―¡Tú eres el Mesías!
30 Jesús les mandó que no se lo dijeran a nadie.
Jesús predice su muerte
31 Y empezó a enseñarles que era necesario que el Hijo del hombre sufriera mucho y que iba a ser rechazado por los ancianos, los jefes de los sacerdotes y los maestros de la ley. Les dijo también que lo matarían, pero resucitaría después de tres días.
32 Con tanta franqueza les habló, que Pedro lo llamó aparte y lo reprendió.
33 Pero Jesús le volvió la espalda y, mirando a los otros discípulos, reprendió a Pedro:
―¡Apártate de mí, Satanás! ¡Estás mirando las cosas como las ven los hombres y no como las ve Dios!
34 Dicho esto, llamó a la multitud junto con sus discípulos y añadió:
―Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese a sí mismo, tome su cruz y sígame. 35 El que se afana por salvar su vida, la perderá. Pero los que pierden su vida por mi causa y por la causa del evangelio, la salvarán.
36 »¿De qué le sirve a una persona ganarse el mundo entero si pierde su vida? 37 ¿Qué se puede dar a cambio de la vida? 38 Si alguien se avergüenza de mí y de mi mensaje en medio de esta gente incrédula y pecadora, el Hijo del hombre se avergonzará de él cuando venga en la gloria de su Padre con los santos ángeles.
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
English Standard Version
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand
8 (A)In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, 2 (B)“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days 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 far away.” 4 And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?” 5 And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, (C)“Seven.” 6 And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and (D)having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd. 7 And they had a few small fish. And (E)having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them. 8 And (F)they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, (G)seven baskets full. 9 And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away. 10 And immediately he got into (H)the boat with his disciples and went to the district of (I)Dalmanutha.[a]
The Pharisees Demand a Sign
11 (J)The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, (K)seeking from him (L)a sign from heaven (M)to test him. 12 And (N)he sighed deeply (O)in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And (P)he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
The Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod
14 Now they had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; (Q)beware of (R)the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of (S)Herod.”[b] 16 And they began discussing with one another the fact that they had no bread. 17 And (T)Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? (U)Do you not yet perceive (V)or understand? (W)Are your hearts hardened? 18 (X)Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke (Y)the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” 20 “And (Z)the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” 21 And he said to them, “Do you not yet understand?”
Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida
22 And they came (AA)to Bethsaida. And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. 23 And (AB)he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when (AC)he had (AD)spit on his eyes and (AE)laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?” 24 And he looked up and said, “I see people, but they look like trees, walking.” 25 Then Jesus[c] laid his hands on his eyes again; and he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 And he sent him to his home, saying, (AF)“Do not even enter the village.”
Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ
27 (AG)And Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” 28 And they told him, (AH)“John the Baptist; and others say, (AI)Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.” 29 And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, (AJ)“You are (AK)the Christ.” 30 (AL)And he strictly charged them to tell no one about him.
Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection
31 (AM)And he began to teach them that (AN)the Son of Man must (AO)suffer many things and (AP)be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and (AQ)after three days rise again. 32 And he said this (AR)plainly. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, (AS)“Get behind me, Satan! For you (AT)are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
34 And calling the crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after me, let him (AU)deny himself and (AV)take up his cross and follow me. 35 For (AW)whoever would save his life[d] will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake (AX)and the gospel's will save it. 36 (AY)For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For (AZ)what can a man give in return for his soul? 38 For (BA)whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this (BB)adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed (BC)when he comes in the glory of his Father with (BD)the holy angels.”
