Markus 8
Schlachter 1951
Speisung der Viertausend
8 In jenen Tagen, als sehr viel Volk zugegen war und sie nichts zu essen hatten, rief Jesus seine Jünger zu sich und sprach zu ihnen: 2 Mich jammert das Volk; denn sie verharren nun schon drei Tage bei mir und haben nichts zu essen. 3 Und wenn ich sie nüchtern nach Hause entlasse, so werden sie auf dem Wege erliegen; denn etliche von ihnen sind von weither gekommen.
4 Und seine Jünger antworteten ihm: Woher könnte jemand diese hier in der Wüste mit Brot sättigen? 5 Und er fragte sie: Wie viele Brote habt ihr? Sie sprachen: Sieben.
6 Und er befahl dem Volke, sich auf die Erde niederzusetzen, und nahm die sieben Brote, dankte, brach sie und gab sie seinen Jüngern, damit sie sie vorlegten. Und sie legten sie dem Volke vor.
7 Sie hatten auch noch einige Fischlein; und nach einem Segensspruch befahl er, auch diese vorzulegen. 8 Und sie aßen und wurden satt und hoben an übriggebliebenen Brocken noch sieben Körbe auf. 9 Es waren ihrer etwa viertausend; und er entließ sie.
Die Pharisäer verlangen ein Zeichen vom Himmel
10 Und alsbald stieg er mit seinen Jüngern in das Schiff und kam in die Gegend von Dalmanutha.
11 Und die Pharisäer gingen hinaus und fingen an, sich mit ihm zu besprechen, indem sie von ihm ein Zeichen vom Himmel forderten, um ihn auf die Probe zu stellen. 12 Und er seufzte in seinem Geiste und sprach: Warum fordert dieses Geschlecht ein Zeichen? Wahrlich, ich sage euch, es wird diesem Geschlecht kein Zeichen gegeben werden.
13 Und er ließ sie, stieg wieder in das Schiff und fuhr ans jenseitige Ufer.
14 Und sie hatten vergessen, Brote mitzunehmen, und hatten nur ein Brot bei sich im Schiff. 15 Und er gebot ihnen und sprach: Sehet zu, hütet euch vor dem Sauerteig der Pharisäer und vor dem Sauerteig des Herodes!
16 Und sie besprachen sich untereinander und sagten: Weil wir kein Brot haben!
17 Und als es Jesus merkte, sprach er zu ihnen: Was machet ihr euch Gedanken darüber, daß ihr kein Brot habt? Verstehet ihr noch nicht und begreifet ihr noch nicht? Habt ihr noch euer verhärtetes Herz? 18 Habt Augen und sehet nicht, Ohren und höret nicht? Und denket ihr nicht daran, 19 als ich die fünf Brote brach für die Fünftausend, wieviel Körbe voll Brocken ihr aufgehoben habt? Sie sprachen zu ihm: Zwölf!
20 Und als ich die sieben für die Viertausend brach, wieviel Körbe voll Brocken habt ihr aufgehoben? Sie sprachen: Sieben! 21 Und er sprach zu ihnen: Was seid ihr denn noch so unverständig?
Jesus heilt einen Blinden
22 Und sie kommen nach Bethsaida; und man bringt einen Blinden zu ihm und bittet ihn, daß er ihn anrühre. 23 Und er nahm den Blinden bei der Hand und führte ihn vor das Dorf hinaus, spie ihm in die Augen, legte ihm die Hände auf und fragte ihn, ob er etwas sähe.
24 Und er blickte auf und sprach: Ich sehe die Leute, als sähe ich wandelnde Bäume!
25 Hierauf legte er noch einmal die Hände auf seine Augen und ließ ihn aufblicken; und er wurde wieder hergestellt und sah alles deutlich. 26 Und er schickte ihn in sein Haus und sprach: Du sollst nicht ins Dorf hineingehen, noch es jemandem im Dorfe sagen!
„Für wen halten mich die Leute?“ Bekenntnis des Petrus
27 Und Jesus ging samt seinen Jüngern hinaus in die Dörfer bei Cäsarea Philippi; und auf dem Wege fragte er seine Jünger und sprach zu ihnen: Für wen halten mich die Leute?
28 Sie antworteten: Die einen sagen, du seiest Johannes der Täufer; und andere, du seiest Elia; andere aber, du seiest einer der Propheten.
29 Und er fragte sie: Ihr aber, für wen haltet ihr mich? Da antwortete Petrus und sprach zu ihm: Du bist der Christus!
30 Und er gebot ihnen ernstlich, daß sie das niemandem von ihm sagen sollten.
Jesu Ankündigung seines Leidens und Sterbens. Preis der Nachfolge
31 Und er fing an, sie zu lehren, daß des Menschen Sohn viel leiden und von den Ältesten und Hohenpriestern und Schriftgelehrten verworfen und getötet werden müsse und nach drei Tagen wieder auferstehen. 32 Und er redete das Wort ganz unverhohlen. Und Petrus nahm ihn beiseite und fing an, ihm zu wehren. 33 Er aber wandte sich um und sah seine Jünger an und schalt den Petrus und sprach: Weiche hinter mich, Satan! Denn du denkst nicht göttlich, sondern menschlich!
34 Und er rief das Volk samt seinen Jüngern zu sich und sprach zu ihnen: Wer mir nachkommen will, der verleugne sich selbst und nehme sein Kreuz auf sich und folge mir nach! 35 Denn wer seine Seele[a] retten will, der wird sie verlieren; wer aber seine Seele verliert um meinetwillen und um des Evangeliums willen, der wird sie retten. 36 Denn was hülfe es dem Menschen, wenn er die ganze Welt gewönne und büßte seine Seele[b] ein? 37 Oder was will ein Mensch zum Lösegeld seiner Seele geben? 38 Denn wer sich meiner und meiner Worte schämt unter diesem ehebrecherischen und sündigen Geschlecht, dessen wird sich auch des Menschen Sohn schämen, wenn er kommen wird in der Herrlichkeit seines Vaters mit den heiligen Engeln.

Feeding Four Thousand
8 In(A) those days there was again a large crowd, and they had nothing to eat. He called(B) the disciples(C) and said to them, 2 “I have compassion(D) on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way,(E) and some of them have come a long distance.”
4 His disciples answered him, “Where can anyone get enough bread here in this desolate place to feed(F) these people?”
5 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked them.
“Seven,” they said. 6 He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke(G) them, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people. So they served them to the crowd. 7 They also had a few small fish, and after he had blessed them, he said these were to be served as well. 8 They ate and were satisfied. Then they collected seven large baskets of leftover pieces. 9 About four thousand were there. He dismissed them. 10 And he immediately got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
The Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod
11 The(H) Pharisees(I) came and began to argue with him, demanding of him a sign(J) from heaven(K) to test(L) him. 12 Sighing deeply in his spirit,(M) he said, “Why does this generation(N) demand a sign? Truly I tell you,(O) no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat, and went to the other side.
14 The disciples had forgotten to take bread and had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 Then(P) he gave them strict orders: “Watch out! Beware of the leaven[a](Q) of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”(R) 16 They were discussing among themselves that they did not have any bread. 17 Aware of this, he said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact you have no bread? Don’t you understand or comprehend? Do you have hardened hearts?(S) 18 Do you have eyes and not see; do you have ears and not hear?[b](T) And do you not remember?(U) 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of leftovers did you collect?”
“Twelve,” they told him.
20 “When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you collect?”
“Seven,” they said.
21 And he said to them, “Don’t you understand yet?” (V)
Healing a Blind Man
22 They came to Bethsaida.(W) They brought a blind(X) man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and brought him out of the village. Spitting(Y) on his eyes and laying his hands on(Z) him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24 He looked up and said, “I see people—they look like trees walking.”(AA)
25 Again Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes. The man looked intently and his sight was restored and he saw everything clearly. 26 Then he sent(AB) him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.”[c](AC)
Peter’s Confession of the Messiah
27 Jesus(AD) went out with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”
28 They answered him, “John the Baptist;(AE) others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets.”(AF)
29 “But you,” he asked them, “who do you say that I am?”
Peter(AG) answered him, “You are the Messiah.”(AH) 30 And he strictly warned(AI) them to tell no one about him.
His Death and Resurrection Predicted
31 Then(AJ) he began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man(AK) to suffer many things and be rejected(AL) by the elders,(AM) chief priests, and scribes,(AN) be killed, and rise(AO) after three days.(AP) 32 He spoke openly about this. Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. 33 But turning around and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan!(AQ) You are not thinking about God’s concerns[d] but human concerns.”
Take Up Your Cross
34 Calling the crowd along with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself,(AR) take up his cross,(AS) and follow me.(AT) 35 For whoever wants to save(AU) his life will lose it,(AV) but whoever loses(AW) his life(AX) because of me(AY) and the gospel(AZ) will save it.(BA) 36 For what does it benefit(BB) someone to gain(BC) the whole world(BD) and yet lose(BE) his life?(BF) 37 What can anyone give in exchange for his life?(BG) 38 For whoever is ashamed(BH) of me and my words(BI) in this adulterous and sinful(BJ) generation,(BK) the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory(BL) of his Father(BM) with the holy(BN) angels.”(BO)
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.”
