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.”
Marcos 8
La Biblia de las Américas
Alimentación de los cuatro mil
8 En aquellos días, cuando de nuevo había una gran multitud que no tenía qué comer, (A)Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo*: 2 Tengo compasión de la multitud porque hace ya tres días que están conmigo 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 Y Él les preguntó[b]: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y 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 cuatro mil; y los despidió. 10 Y subiendo enseguida a la barca con sus discípulos, 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 ponerle[f] a prueba. 12 Suspirando profundamente(H) en su espíritu[g], dijo*: ¿Por qué pide señal[h](I) esta generación? En verdad os digo que no se le dará señal[i] a esta generación. 13 Y dejándolos, se embarcó otra vez y se fue al otro lado.
La levadura de los fariseos
14 Y se habían olvidado de tomar panes; y no tenían consigo en la barca sino solo un pan. 15 Y Él les encargaba[j] diciendo: ¡Tened cuidado! Guardaos 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 discutís que no tenéis pan? ¿Aún no comprendéis ni entendéis? ¿Tenéis el corazón endurecido[k](L)? 18 Teniendo ojos, ¿no veis? Y teniendo oídos, ¿no oís(M)? ¿No recordáis 19 cuando partí los cinco panes entre los cinco mil(N)? ¿Cuántas cestas llenas de pedazos recogisteis? Y ellos le dijeron*: Doce(O). 20 Y cuando partí los siete panes entre los cuatro mil(P), ¿cuántas canastas llenas de los pedazos recogisteis? Y ellos le dijeron*: Siete(Q). 21 Y les dijo[l]: ¿Aún no entendéis(R)?
El ciego de Betsaida
22 Llegaron* a Betsaida(S), y le trajeron* un ciego y le rogaron* que lo tocara(T). 23 Tomando de la mano al ciego, 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 lo 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)Salió Jesús con sus discípulos a las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo(Y); y en el camino preguntó a sus discípulos, diciéndoles: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que soy yo? 28 Y le respondieron, diciendo: Unos, Juan el Bautista; y otros, Elías; pero otros, uno de los profetas(Z). 29 Él les preguntó de nuevo: Pero vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo? Respondiendo Pedro, le dijo*: Tú eres el Cristo[o](AA). 30 Y Él les advirtió severamente que no hablaran de Él a nadie(AB).
Jesús anuncia su muerte y resurrección
31 (AC)Y 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). Y Pedro le llevó aparte y comenzó a reprenderle. 33 Mas 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 Y llamando a la multitud y a sus discípulos, les dijo: Si alguno quiere venir en pos de mí, 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[r] por causa de mí y del evangelio, la salvará(AH). 36 Pues, ¿de qué le sirve a un hombre ganar el mundo entero y perder su alma? 37 Pues ¿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).

Young's Literal Translation
8 In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,
2 `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;
3 and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'
4 And his disciples answered him, `Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?'
5 And he was questioning them, `How many loaves have ye?' and they said, `Seven.'
6 And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before [them]; and they did set before the multitude.
7 And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before [them];
8 and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces -- seven baskets;
9 and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,
10 and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,
11 and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;
12 and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, `Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.'
13 And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;
14 and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,
15 and he was charging them, saying, `Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'
16 and they were reasoning with one another, saying -- `Because we have no loaves.'
17 And Jesus having known, saith to them, `Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened?
18 Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember?
19 When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' they say to him, `Twelve.'
20 `And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, `Seven.'
21 And he said to them, `How do ye not understand?'
22 And he cometh to Bethsaida, and they bring to him one blind, and call upon him that he may touch him,
23 and having taken the hand of the blind man, he led him forth without the village, and having spit on his eyes, having put [his] hands on him, he was questioning him if he doth behold anything:
24 and he, having looked up, said, `I behold men, as I see trees, walking.'
25 Afterwards again he put [his] hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,
26 and he sent him away to his house, saying, `Neither to the village mayest thou go, nor tell [it] to any in the village.'
27 And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, to the villages of Cesarea Philippi, and in the way he was questioning his disciples, saying to them, `Who do men say me to be?'
28 And they answered, `John the Baptist, and others Elijah, but others one of the prophets.'
29 And he saith to them, `And ye -- who do ye say me to be?' and Peter answering saith to him, `Thou art the Christ.'
30 And he strictly charged them that they may tell no one about it,
31 and began to teach them, that it behoveth the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders, and chief priests, and scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise again;
32 and openly he was speaking the word. And Peter having taken him aside, began to rebuke him,
33 and he, having turned, and having looked on his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, `Get behind me, Adversary, because thou dost not mind the things of God, but the things of men.'
34 And having called near the multitude, with his disciples, he said to them, `Whoever doth will to come after me -- let him disown himself, and take up his cross, and follow me;
35 for whoever may will to save his life shall lose it; and whoever may lose his life for my sake and for the good news' sake, he shall save it;
36 for what shall it profit a man, if he may gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
37 Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?
38 for whoever may be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also shall be ashamed of him, when he may come in the glory of his Father, with the holy messengers.'
