Isus hrani mnoštvo
(Mt 15,32-39)
8 Jednom prilikom okupilo se mnogo ljudi pa, kako nisu imali što jesti, Isus je pozvao svoje učenike i rekao im: 2 »Žao mi je ovih ljudi. Sa mnom su već tri dana, a nemaju ništa za jelo. 3 Ako ih pošaljem kući gladne, onesvijestit će se na putu; neki od njih došli su izdaleka.«
4 Njegovi su učenici odgovorili: »Kako bi itko na ovom pustome mjestu mogao naći dovoljno kruha za sve ove ljude?«
5 Isus ih je upitao: »Koliko kruhova imate?«
»Sedam«, odgovorili su.
6 Isus je zatim zapovjedio ljudima da sjednu na zemlju. Uzeo je sedam kruhova, zahvalio Bogu, razlomio ih i dao učenicima da podijele ljudima. Oni su ga poslušali. 7 Imali su, također, i nekoliko ribica. Isus je zahvalio za njih i rekao učenicima da i njih podijele. 8 Ljudi su jeli i nasitili se. Učenici su zatim sakupili ostatke hrane i napunili njima sedam košara. 9 Bilo je ondje oko četiri tisuće muškaraca. Kada su se najeli, Isus im je rekao da odu. 10 Odmah zatim ušao je sa svojim učenicima u lađicu. Uputili su se u okolicu Dalmanute.
Opomena nevjernom naraštaju
(Mt 16,1-4; Lk 11,16.29)
11 Tada su došli farizeji i počeli se prepirati s njim. Da ga iskušaju, tražili su od njega čudesni znak s Neba. 12 Isus je duboko uzdahnuo i rekao: »Zašto ovaj naraštaj traži znak? Govorim vam istinu. Nikakav vam se znak neće dati.« 13 Zatim je otišao od njih, ušao je opet u lađicu i otplovio na drugu stranu jezera.
Učenici ne razumiju Isusa
(Mt 16,5-12)
14 Njegovi su učenici zaboravili ponijeti kruh. Ništa nisu imali sa sobom u lađici osim jednoga kruha. 15 Isus ih je upozorio: »Pazite! Čuvajte se farizejskog i Herodovoga kvasca.«
16 A oni su počeli međusobno raspravljati o značenju, govoreći: »Rekao je to jer nemamo kruha.«
17 Isus je znao što govore pa im je rekao: »Zašto raspravljate o tome što nemate kruha? Još uvijek ne razumijete i ne shvaćate značenje? Zar ste tako tvrdoglavi? 18 Zar vaše oči ništa ne vide? Zar vaše uši ništa ne čuju? Zar se ne sjećate? 19 Kad sam razlomio pet kruhova za pet tisuća ljudi, koliko ste košara ostataka nakupili?«
»Dvanaest«, rekli su.
20 »Kad sam razlomio sedam kruhova za četiri tisuće ljudi, koliko ste punih košara ostataka nakupili?«
»Sedam«, rekli su.
21 Na to im je rekao: »Zar još uvijek ne razumijete?«
Isus ozdravlja slijepca iz Betsaide
22 Isus i njegovi učenici stigli su u Betsaidu. Neki su mu ljudi doveli slijepog čovjeka i zamolili da ga dotakne. 23 Isus je uzeo slijepca za ruku i odveo ga izvan sela, pljunuo mu na oči, stavio ruke na njega i upitao ga: »Vidiš li što?«
24 Slijepac je pogledao i rekao: »Vidim ljude; izgledaju kao drveće koje hoda uokolo.«
25 Zatim mu je ponovo stavio ruke na oči. Čovjek je na to širom otvorio oči. Vid mu se vratio i sve je jasno vidio. 26 Tada ga je Isus poslao kući i rekao mu da ne ide u selo.
Isus je Krist (Mesija)
(Mt 16,13-20; Lk 9,18-21)
27 Isus je s učenicima otišao u sela oko Filipove Cezareje. Putem ih je upitao: »Što kažu ljudi, tko sam ja?«
28 Oni su mu odgovorili: »Jedni kažu da si Ivan Krstitelj, drugi da si Ilija, a neki pak da si jedan od proroka.«
29 Tada ih je upitao: »A vi, što kažete, tko sam ja?«
Petar mu je odgovorio: »Ti si Krist.«
30 Tada ih je Isus upozorio da nikome ne pričaju o njemu.
Isus govori o svojoj smrti i uskrsnuću
(Mt 16,21-28; Lk 9,22-27)
31 I počeo ih je poučavati: »Sin Čovječji mora mnogo toga propatiti. Starješine, visoki svećenici i učitelji Zakona moraju ga odbaciti. Mora biti ubijen i za tri dana uskrsnuti.« 32 Isus im je to rekao vrlo otvoreno. Petar je na to poveo Isusa u stranu i počeo ga odvraćati. 33 A Isus se okrenuo, pogledao svoje učenike i prekorio Petra: »Odlazi od mene, Sotono[a]! Ti se brineš za ljudske stvari, a ne za Božje.«
34 Tada je Isus pozvao narod i svoje učenike k sebi pa im rekao: »Ako me tko želi slijediti, onda se mora odreći samoga sebe, uzeti svoj križ[b] i slijediti me. 35 Onaj tko želi sačuvati svoj život—izgubit će ga. A tko izgubi svoj život radi mene i Radosne vijesti—sačuvat će ga. 36 Kakve koristi ima onaj tko dobije cijeli svijet, a izgubi svoj život? 37 Što može čovjek dati u zamjenu za svoj život? 38 Ako se tko posrami mene i moga učenja pred ovim nevjernim i grešnim naraštajem, ja ću se posramiti njega kad dođem u slavi svoga Oca i sa svetim anđelima.«
Mark 8
Expanded Bible
More than Four Thousand People Fed(A)
8 ·Another time [About this time] there was ·a [another] great crowd with Jesus that had nothing to eat. So Jesus called his ·followers [disciples] and said, 2 “I ·feel sorry [have compassion] for these people, because they have already been with me for three days, and they have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will ·faint [collapse] on the way. Some of them ·live a long way from here [have come from far away].”
4 Jesus’ ·followers [disciples] answered, “·How [L From where] can ·we [L anyone] get enough bread in this ·remote place [desolate place; desert] to feed them?”
5 Jesus asked, “How many loaves of bread do you have?”
They answered, “Seven.”
6 Jesus told the people to ·sit [recline] on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, gave thanks to God, and ·divided [broke] the bread. He gave the pieces to his ·followers [disciples] to give to the people, and they did so. 7 ·The followers [L They] also had a few small fish. After Jesus ·gave thanks for [blessed] the fish, he told his ·followers [disciples] to give them to the people also. 8 All the people ate and were satisfied. Then ·his followers [L they] filled seven ·baskets [large baskets; C a different word than in the feeding of the 5,000; 6:43] with the leftover pieces of food. 9 There were about four thousand people who ate. After they had eaten, Jesus ·sent them home [dismissed them]. 10 Then ·right away [immediately] he got into a boat with his ·followers [disciples] and went to the area of Dalmanutha. [C This place is unknown; it was probably on the western shore of Lake Galilee.]
The Leaders Ask for a Miracle(B)
11 The Pharisees came to Jesus and began to ·ask him questions [argue/dispute with him]. ·Hoping to trap [Trying to test] him, they asked Jesus for a ·miracle [sign] from ·God [L heaven; C possibly a sign in the sky, but more likely a Jewish way of saying “from God”]. 12 Jesus ·sighed [groaned] deeply and said, “Why ·do you people [L does this generation] ask for a miracle as a sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to ·you [this generation].” 13 Then Jesus left the Pharisees and went in the boat to the other side of the lake.
Guard Against Wrong Teachings(C)
14 His ·followers [disciples] had only one loaf of bread with them in the boat; they had forgotten to bring more. 15 Jesus warned them, “·Be careful [Watch out]! Beware of the ·yeast [leaven] of the Pharisees and the ·yeast [leaven] of Herod [C yeast or leaven refers here to the dangerous permeating power of their influence].”
16 They discussed the meaning of this, saying, “He said this because we have no bread.”
17 Knowing what they were talking about, Jesus asked them, “Why are you ·talking [discussing; arguing] about not having bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your ·minds closed [hearts hardened]? 18 ·You have eyes, but you don’t really see. You have ears, but you don’t really listen [Jer. 5:21; Ezek. 12:2]. ·Remember [L Don’t you remember] when 19 I ·divided [broke] five loaves of bread for the five thousand? How many baskets did you fill with leftover pieces of food?”
They answered, “Twelve.”
20 “And when I ·divided [broke] seven loaves of bread for the four thousand, how many [large] baskets did you fill with leftover pieces of food?”
They answered, “Seven.”
21 Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
Jesus Heals a Blind Man
22 Jesus and his followers came to Bethsaida [6:45]. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus and begged him to touch the man. 23 So Jesus took the blind man’s hand and led him out of the village. Then he spit on the man’s eyes [see 7:33] and ·put [laid] his hands on the man and asked, “Can you see [anything] now?”
24 The man looked up and said, “Yes, I see people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25 Again Jesus ·put [laid] his hands on the man’s eyes. Then the man ·opened his eyes wide [stared intently] and ·they were healed [his sight was restored], and he was able to see everything clearly. 26 Jesus told him to go home, saying, “Don’t go into the town.”[a] [C Jesus wanted to avoid the publicity that the healing would produce.]
Peter Says Jesus Is the Christ(D)
27 Jesus and his ·followers [disciples] went to the towns around Caesarea Philippi [C a city about 25 miles north of Lake Galilee]. While they were traveling, Jesus asked them, “Who do people say I am?”
28 They answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist. Others say you are Elijah [a great prophet (1 Kin. 17), who was expected to return in the end times (Mal. 4:5); see 6:15], and others say you are one of the prophets.”
29 Then Jesus asked, “But who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “You are the ·Christ [Messiah].”
30 Jesus [strongly] warned them not to tell anyone who he was.
31 Then Jesus began to teach them that the Son of Man [Dan. 7:13–14] must suffer many things and that he would be rejected by the Jewish elders, the ·leading [T chief] priests, and the ·teachers of the law [scribes]. He told them that the Son of Man must be killed and then rise from the dead after three days. 32 Jesus told them ·plainly [boldly; openly] what would happen. Then Peter took Jesus aside and began to ·reprimand [rebuke] him. 33 But Jesus turned and looked at his ·followers [disciples]. Then he ·reprimanded [rebuked] Peter. He said, “·Go away from me [L Get behind me], Satan [C Jesus accuses Peter of doing Satan’s work by obstructing God’s plan]! You ·don’t care about [are not setting your mind on/thinking about] the things of God, but only ·about things people think are important [on/about human concerns].”
34 Then Jesus called the crowd to him, along with his ·followers [disciples]. He said, “If ·people [L anyone wants] want to follow me, they must ·give up the things they want [deny themselves; set aside their own interests]. They must ·be willing even to give up their lives to [L take up their cross and] follow me. 35 Those who want to save their lives will ·give up true life [L lose their life/soul; C Greek psychē can mean “life” or “soul,” producing this play on words]. But those who ·give up [lose; sacrifice] their lives for ·me [my sake] and for the ·Good News [Gospel] will ·have true life [save their lives/souls]. 36 ·It is worthless [What good/profit/benefit is it…?] to ·have [gain] the whole world if they ·lose [forfeit] their souls. 37 ·They could never pay enough [L Or what could they give…?] ·to buy back [in exchange for] their souls. 38 If people of this ·sinful and evil time [adulterous and sinful generation] are ashamed of me and my ·teaching [words; message], the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he ·comes [returns] with his Father’s glory and with the holy angels [Dan. 7:13–14].”
