Mark:8:1-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In those dayes ,
when there was a very great multitude ,
and had nothing to eate ,
Iesus called his disciples to him ,
and said vnto them ,
*
I haue compassion on the multitude ,
because they haue nowe continued with mee three dayes ,
and haue nothing to eate .
*
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses ,
they will (
note :)
Literally , «
they will fall apart »,
or «
be dissolved »,
for when men faint they tear their muscles .(:
note )
faint by the way :
for divers of them came from far .
*
Then his disciples answered him ,
Whence can a man satisfie these with bread here in the wildernes ?
*
And hee asked them ,
Howe many loaues haue ye ?
And they said ,
Seuen .
*
Then he commaunded the multitude to sit downe on the grounde :
and hee tooke the seuen loaues ,
and gaue thankes ,
brake them ,
and gaue to his disciples to set before them ,
and they did set them before the people .
*
They had also a few small fishes :
and when he had giuen thankes ,
he commaunded them also to be set before them .
*
So they did eate ,
and were sufficed ,
and they tooke vp of the broken meate that was left ,
seuen baskets full .
* (
And they that had eaten ,
were about foure thousand )
so he sent them away .
*
And anon he entred into a ship with his disciples ,
and came into the parts of Dalmanutha .
*
*
And he (
note :)
These sighs came from the centre of his heart for the Lord was very much moved with the great unbelief of these men .(:
note )
sighed deeply in his spirit ,
and saith ,
Why doth this generation seek after a sign ?
verily I say unto you ,
Literally , «
If a sign be given ».
It is an abbreviated kind of speech very common among the Hebrews ;
it is the same as when we say , «
Let me be taken for a liar »,
or something similar .
And when they speak out the whole ,
they say , «
The Lord do such and such by me .»
There shall no sign be given unto this generation .
*
So he left them ,
and went into the ship againe ,
and departed to the other side .
*
And they had forgotten to take bread ,
neither had they in the shippe with them ,
but one loafe .
*
*
*
And when Iesus knew it ,
he said vnto them ,
Why reason you thus ,
because ye haue no bread ?
perceiue ye not yet ,
neither vnderstande ?
haue ye your hearts yet hardened ?
*
Haue yee eyes ,
and see not ?
and haue yee eares ,
and heare not ?
and doe ye not remember ?
*
When I brake the fiue loaues among fiue thousand ,
how many baskets full of broken meate tooke ye vp ?
They said vnto him ,
Twelue .
*
And when I brake seuen among foure thousande ,
howe many baskets of the leauings of broken meate tooke ye vp ?
And they said ,
Seuen .
*
And he said unto them , (
note :)
How does it come to pass that you do not understand these things which are so plain and evident .(:
note )
How is it that ye do not understand ?
