Mác 8
Vietnamese Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
Hơn bốn ngàn người được thết đãi(A)
8 Lần khác có một đám đông đi theo Chúa Giê-xu mà không có gì ăn nên Ngài gọi các môn đệ lại bảo, 2 “Ta tội nghiệp đoàn dân nầy, vì họ đã ở với ta hơn ba ngày nay mà không có gì ăn. 3 Nếu ta cho họ về trong khi bụng đói thế nầy chắc có người sẽ bị xỉu dọc đường, vì một số đã đến từ những nơi khá xa.”
4 Các môn đệ Ngài thưa, “Làm sao chúng ta có đủ bánh cho chừng nầy người ăn? Nơi đây cũng không gần thị trấn nào.”
5 Chúa Giê-xu hỏi, “Các con có bao nhiêu ổ bánh?”
Họ thưa, “Dạ có bảy ổ.”
6 Chúa Giê-xu bảo dân chúng ngồi xuống đất. Rồi Ngài cầm bảy ổ bánh, cảm tạ Thượng Đế và bẻ bánh ra. Ngài trao bánh cho các môn đệ để phân phát cho dân chúng. 7 Các môn đệ cũng có vài con cá nhỏ. Sau khi cảm tạ Thượng Đế về mấy con cá, Ngài bảo các môn đệ phát cho dân chúng luôn. 8 Mọi người ăn uống no nê. Các môn đệ gom được bảy giỏ đầy những miếng thừa. 9 Có khoảng bốn ngàn người đàn ông ăn lần đó. Sau khi ăn xong, Ngài cho họ về. 10 Rồi Ngài cùng các môn đệ xuống thuyền đi qua miền Đan-ma-nu-tha.
Các nhà cầm quyền muốn xem một phép lạ(B)
11 Các người Pha-ri-xi đến gặp Chúa Giê-xu và bắt đầu gạn hỏi Ngài. Vì chủ tâm gài bẫy Ngài, nên họ yêu cầu Chúa Giê-xu làm một phép lạ từ trời cho họ xem. 12 Chúa Giê-xu thở dài bảo họ, “Sao các ông muốn xem phép lạ? Ta bảo thật, các ông sẽ không nhận được dấu lạ nào cả.” 13 Rồi Ngài bỏ họ, xuống thuyền sang bờ hồ bên kia.
Thận trọng về những lời giáo huấn sai lạc(C)
14 Các môn đệ chỉ đem theo có một ổ bánh trong thuyền; đáng lẽ họ phải mang theo nhiều hơn. 15 Chúa Giê-xu bảo họ, “Các con phải thận trọng về men của người Pha-ri-xi và men của Hê-rốt.”
16 Các môn đệ thảo luận với nhau về ý nghĩa của lời Ngài nói. Họ bảo, “Thầy nói vậy là vì chúng ta quên mang bánh theo.”
17 Biết họ bàn như thế nên Chúa Giê-xu hỏi, “Sao các con nói tại vì không mang bánh theo? Các con cũng còn chưa thấy và chưa hiểu sao? Trí óc các con vẫn còn tối tăm sao? 18 Các con có mắt mà vẫn không thấy, có tai mà không nghe. Các con còn nhớ những lần 19 ta chia năm ổ bánh cho năm ngàn người sao? Các con thu lại được bao nhiêu giỏ bánh thừa?”
Họ thưa, “Dạ, mười hai giỏ.”
20 “Còn khi ta phát bảy ổ bánh cho bốn ngàn người, các con gom được bao nhiêu giỏ bánh thừa?”
Họ thưa, “Dạ, bảy giỏ.”
21 Chúa Giê-xu bảo họ rằng, “Đến bây giờ các con cũng chưa hiểu sao?”
Chúa Giê-xu chữa lành người mù
22 Chúa Giê-xu cùng các môn đệ đến thành Bết-sai-đa. Người ta mang tới cho Ngài một người mù và xin Ngài đặt tay trên anh. 23 Chúa Giê-xu cầm tay người mù, dắt ra khỏi làng. Sau khi nhổ nước miếng lên mắt và đặt tay trên anh, Ngài hỏi, “Bây giờ anh thấy được chưa?”
24 Anh ngước lên thưa, “Dạ, tôi thấy người ta nhưng họ đi giống như cây cối.”
25 Chúa Giê-xu lại đặt tay lên mắt anh. Anh mở mắt ra thì mắt được sáng, thấy rõ ràng tất cả. 26 Chúa Giê-xu bảo anh đi về nhà và dặn, “Đừng trở vào thành.”
Phia-rơ tuyên xưng Chúa Giê-xu là Đấng Cứu Thế(D)
27 Chúa Giê-xu cùng môn đệ đi đến các thành quanh vùng Xê-xa-rê Phi-líp. Đang đi đường, Ngài hỏi các môn đệ, “Dân chúng nói ta là ai?”
28 Các môn đệ thưa, “Có người nói thầy là Giăng Báp-tít. Người khác nói thầy là Ê-li, còn người khác nữa thì cho thầy là một trong các nhà tiên tri.”
29 Nhưng Chúa Giê-xu hỏi, “Còn các con nói ta là ai?”
Phia-rơ đáp, “Thầy là Đấng Cứu Thế.”
30 Chúa Giê-xu nghiêm cấm các môn đệ không được nói cho người nào biết Ngài là ai.
Chúa Giê-xu nói trước về cái chết của Ngài(E)
31 Rồi Chúa Giê-xu bắt đầu dạy họ rằng, “Con Người phải chịu khổ nhiều, còn bị các bô lão Do-thái, các giới trưởng tế cùng các giáo sư luật loại ra.” Ngài cũng cho biết thêm là Con Người sẽ bị giết, nhưng sau ba ngày sẽ sống lại từ trong kẻ chết. 32 Chúa Giê-xu nói rõ ràng cho các môn đệ biết những sự việc sẽ xảy ra. Phia-rơ liền mang Ngài riêng ra và trách Ngài. 33 Nhưng Chúa Giê-xu quay lại nhìn các môn đệ rồi quở Phia-rơ. Ngài bảo, “Nầy Sa-tăng [a], hãy đi khỏi mặt ta! Con không nghĩ đến việc Thượng Đế mà chỉ nghĩ đến những việc loài người thôi.”
34 Sau đó Chúa Giê-xu gọi quần chúng và các môn đệ lại, bảo rằng, “Ai muốn theo ta phải từ bỏ chính mình và vác thập tự giá mình mà theo ta. 35 Ai tìm cách giữ mạng sống mình, sẽ bị mất nó, nhưng ai chịu mất mạng mình vì ta và vì Tin Mừng thì sẽ giữ được mạng sống. 36 Nếu ai được cả thế giới mà mất linh hồn mình thì ích lợi gì? 37 Lấy gì mà đánh đổi linh hồn mình? 38 Ai xấu hổ về ta và lời dạy dỗ của ta giữa thế hệ dâm ô và tội lỗi nầy thì Con Người cũng sẽ xấu hổ về người ấy khi Ngài hiện đến trong vinh quang của Cha Ngài cùng với các thiên sứ thánh.”

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.”
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.
