Markúsarguðspjall 8
Icelandic Bible
8 Um þessar mundir bar enn svo við, að mikill mannfjöldi var saman kominn og hafði ekkert til matar. Jesús kallar þá til sín lærisveinana og segir við þá:
2 "Ég kenni í brjósti um mannfjöldann. Þeir hafa nú hjá mér verið þrjá daga og hafa ekkert til matar.
3 Láti ég þá fara fastandi heim til sín, örmagnast þeir á leiðinni, en sumir þeirra eru langt að."
4 Þá svöruðu lærisveinarnir: "Hvar er hægt að fá brauð til að metta þetta fólk hér í óbyggðum?"
5 Hann spurði þá: "Hve mörg brauð hafið þér?" Þeir sögðu: "Sjö."
6 Þá bauð hann fólkinu að setjast á jörðina, tók brauðin sjö, gjörði þakkir og braut þau og gaf lærisveinum sínum, að þeir bæru þau fram. En þeir báru þau fram fyrir fólkið.
7 Þeir höfðu og fáeina smáfiska. Hann þakkaði Guði og bauð, að einnig þeir skyldu fram bornir.
8 Menn neyttu og urðu mettir. Síðan tóku þeir saman leifarnar, sjö körfur.
9 En þeir voru um fjórar þúsundir. Síðan lét hann þá fara.
10 Og hann sté þegar í bátinn með lærisveinum sínum og kom í Dalmanútabyggðir.
11 Þangað komu farísear og tóku að þrátta við hann, þeir vildu freista hans og kröfðu hann um tákn af himni.
12 Hann andvarpaði þungan innra með sér og mælti: "Hví heimtar þessi kynslóð tákn? Sannlega segi ég yður: Tákn verður alls ekki gefið þessari kynslóð."
13 Hann skildi síðan við þá, sté aftur í bátinn og fór yfir um.
14 Þeir höfðu gleymt að taka brauð, höfðu ekki nema eitt brauð með sér í bátnum.
15 Jesús áminnti þá og sagði: "Gætið yðar, varist súrdeig farísea og súrdeig Heródesar."
16 En þeir ræddu sín á milli, að þeir hefðu ekki brauð.
17 Hann varð þess vís og segir við þá: "Hvað eruð þér að tala um, að þér hafið ekki brauð? Skynjið þér ekki enn né skiljið? Eru hjörtu yðar forhert?
18 Þér hafið augu, sjáið þér ekki? Þér hafið eyru, heyrið þér ekki? Eða munið þér ekki?
19 Þegar ég braut brauðin fimm handa fimm þúsundum, hve margar körfur fullar af brauðbitum tókuð þér saman?" Þeir svara honum: "Tólf."
20 "Eða brauðin sjö handa fjórum þúsundunum, hve margar körfur fullar af brauðbitum tókuð þér þá saman?" Þeir svara: "Sjö."
21 Og hann sagði við þá: "Skiljið þér ekki enn?"
22 Þeir koma nú til Betsaídu. Þar færa menn til Jesú blindan mann og biðja, að hann snerti hann.
23 Hann tók í hönd hins blinda, leiddi hann út úr þorpinu, skyrpti í augu hans, lagði hendur yfir hann og spurði: "Sér þú nokkuð?"
24 Hann leit upp og mælti: "Ég sé menn, ég greini þá líkt og tré, þeir ganga."
25 Þá lagði hann aftur hendur yfir augu hans, og nú sá hann skýrt, varð albata og heilskyggn á allt.
26 Jesús sendi hann síðan heim til sín og sagði: "Inn í þorpið máttu ekki fara."
27 Jesús fór nú ásamt lærisveinum sínum til þorpanna hjá Sesareu Filippí. Á leiðinni spurði hann lærisveina sína: "Hvern segja menn mig vera?"
28 Þeir svöruðu honum: "Jóhannes skírara, aðrir Elía og aðrir einn af spámönnunum."
29 Og hann spurði þá: "En þér, hvern segið þér mig vera?" Pétur svaraði honum: "Þú ert Kristur."
30 Og hann lagði ríkt á við þá að segja engum frá sér.
31 Þá tók hann að kenna þeim: "Mannssonurinn á margt að líða, honum mun útskúfað verða af öldungum, æðstu prestum og fræðimönnum, hann mun líflátinn, en upp rísa eftir þrjá daga."
32 Þetta sagði hann berum orðum. En Pétur tók hann á einmæli og fór að átelja hann.
33 Jesús sneri sér við, leit til lærisveina sinna, ávítaði Pétur og sagði: "Vík frá mér, Satan, eigi hugsar þú um það, sem Guðs er, heldur það, sem manna er."
34 Og hann kallaði til sín mannfjöldann ásamt lærisveinum sínum og sagði við þá: "Hver sem vill fylgja mér, afneiti sjálfum sér, taki kross sinn og fylgi mér.
35 Því að hver sem vill bjarga lífi sínu, mun týna því, og hver sem týnir lífi sínu vegna mín og fagnaðarerindisins, mun bjarga því.
36 Hvað stoðar það manninn að eignast allan heiminn, en fyrirgjöra sálu sinni?
37 Eða hvað gæti maður látið til endurgjalds fyrir sálu sína?
38 En þann sem blygðast sín fyrir mig og mín orð hjá þessari ótrúu, syndugu kynslóð, mun Mannssonurinn blygðast sín fyrir, er hann kemur í dýrð föður síns með heilögum englum."
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.”
