Mark:8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In those days the multitude being very great ,
and having nothing to eat ,
Jesus called his disciples unto him ,
and saith unto them ,
*
I have compassion on the multitude ,
because they have now been with me three days ,
and have nothing to eat :
*
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses ,
they will faint by the way :
for divers of them came from far .
*
And his disciples answered him ,
From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness ?
*
And he asked them ,
How many loaves have ye ?
And they said ,
Seven .
*
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 .
*
And they had a few small fishes :
and he blessed ,
and commanded to set them also before them .
*
So they did eat ,
and were filled :
and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets .
*
And they that had eaten were about four thousand :
and he sent them away .
*
And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples ,
and came into the parts of Dalmanutha .
*
And the Pharisees came forth ,
and began to question with him ,
seeking of him a sign from heaven ,
tempting him .
*
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 .
*
And he left them ,
and entering into the ship again departed to the other side .
*
Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread ,
neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf .
*
And he charged them ,
saying ,
Take heed ,
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees ,
and of the leaven of Herod .
*
And they reasoned among themselves ,
saying ,
It is because we have no bread .
*
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 ?
*
Having eyes ,
see ye not ?
and having ears ,
hear ye not ?
and do ye not remember ?
*
When I brake the five loaves among five thousand ,
how many baskets full of fragments took ye up ?
They say unto him ,
Twelve .
*
And when the seven among four thousand ,
how many baskets full of fragments took ye up ?
And they said ,
Seven .
*
And he said unto them ,
How is it that ye do not understand ?
*
And he cometh to Bethsaida ;
and they bring a blind man unto him ,
and besought him to touch him .
*
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 .
*
And he looked up ,
and said ,
I see men as trees ,
walking .
*
After that he put his hands again upon his eyes ,
and made him look up :
and he was restored ,
and saw every man clearly .
*
And he sent him away to his house ,
saying ,
Neither go into the town ,
nor tell it to any in the town .
*
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 ?
*
And they answered ,
John the Baptist :
but some say ,
Elias ;
and others ,
One of the prophets .
*
And he saith unto them ,
But whom say ye that I am ?
And Peter answereth and saith unto him ,
Thou art the Christ .
*
And he charged them that they should tell no man of him .
*
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 .
*
And he spake that saying openly .
And Peter took him ,
and began to rebuke him .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For what shall it profit a man ,
if he shall gain the whole world ,
and lose his own soul ?
*
Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ?
*
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 .
