RF MAR 8:1 Feeding Four Thousand.
About this time a very great crowd collected; and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him, saying to them,
RF MAR 8:2 "I am grieved for the crowd, because they have remained with Me three days, and they have nothing that they can eat.
RF MAR 8:3 If I therefore dismiss them to their homes, they will faint by the way; for some of them have come from a distance."
RF MAR 8:4 His disciples accordingly asked Him in reply, "From where are we able, here in this desert, to satisfy all these with bread?"
RF MAR 8:5 "How many loaves have you?" He asked them. "Seven," was their reply.
RF MAR 8:6 He then instructed the crowd to be seated upon the ground; and taking the seven loaves, having offered a blessing, He broke up and gave to His disciples for distribution, and they handed round to the crowd.
RF MAR 8:7 Besides, they had a few small fishes; and having blessed, He ordered these also to be distributed.
RF MAR 8:8 And they ate, and were satisfied; and of the broken pieces that remained over, they gathered up seven hampers full.
RF MAR 8:9 The eaters numbered about four thousand. He then dismissed them.
RF MAR 8:10 Pharisaic Ferment.
He immediately afterwards embarked in the boat together with His disciples, and came to the neighborhood of Dalmanutha.
RF MAR 8:11 There the Pharisees approached, and began to argue with Him, asking Him for a sign from heaven, testing Him.
RF MAR 8:12 But sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, "Why does this race hunt after a sign? I tell you indeed, that no sign shall be given to this race."
RF MAR 8:13 And leaving them, He again took the boat, and returned to the other shore.
RF MAR 8:14 They had forgotten, however, to provide themselves with bread; and they had with them but one loaf in the boat.
RF MAR 8:15 And He warned them, saying, "Take care! beware of the ferment of the Pharisees, and of the ferment of Herod."
RF MAR 8:16 They then consulted with one another, remarking, "It is because we have no bread."
RF MAR 8:17 But Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, "Why do you consult because you have no bread? Will you never reflect nor comprehend? Is your intellect dull?
RF MAR 8:18 Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear? and do you not remember?
RF MAR 8:19 When I broke those five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up? "Twelve," was their reply.
RF MAR 8:20 "And of those seven among the four thousand, how many hampers full of broken pieces did you gather up?"
"Seven," they replied.
RF MAR 8:21 "Then how," He went on to ask them, "do you not yet understand?"
RF MAR 8:22 A Blind Man Cured.
Then when He arrived at Bethsaida, they brought to Him a blind man, pleading that he would touch him.
RF MAR 8:23 So, taking the blind man by the hand, He led him out of the village; and having spit into his eyes, He placed his hands upon him, asking him if he saw anything.
RF MAR 8:24 And looking up, he said, "I see men, I see them like walking trees!"
RF MAR 8:25 Then He again placed His hands over his eyes, and made him look up; and he was restored, and saw everything quite distinctly.
RF MAR 8:26 Jesus then sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not enter even the village, nor tell it to any one in the village."
RF MAR 8:27 Peter's Acknowledgment.
Jesus and His disciples afterwards proceeded to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road He questioned His disciples, asking, "Whom do men say that I am?"
RF MAR 8:28 In reply they told Him, "John the Baptizer; others Elijah; and others; again, one of the prophets."
RF MAR 8:29 "But Whom do you say that I am?" He asked them again. "You are the Messiah," exclaimed Peter,
RF MAR 8:30 in reply, He enjoined them, however, to tell no one about Him.
RF MAR 8:31 He then began to teach them that the Son of Man had much to endure, and to be rejected at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and professors; aye, even to be murdered; to rise again, however, after three days.
RF MAR 8:32 And He made this statement quite openly. Then Peter, seizing hold of Him, began to reproach Him.
RF MAR 8:33 But turning round, and looking at His disciples, He repelled Peter, exclaiming, "Get behind Me, Satan; because you do not reflect upon the thoughts of God, but merely those of men."
RF MAR 8:34 Then calling the crowd to Him, along with the disciples, He said to them:
"Whoever wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me;
RF MAR 8:35 for whoever desires to preserve his life, will sacrifice it; but if any one sacrifices his life for the sake of Me, and for the good news, he will preserve it.
RF MAR 8:36 For what will it profit a man, if he should gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
RF MAR 8:37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?
RF MAR 8:38 If any one, however, is ashamed of Me and of My teachings in this adulterous and wicked race, then will the Son of Man be ashamed of him, when He comes with the holy angels in the majesty of His Father."
