Marcos 8

I de Dage da der atter var en stor Skare, og de intet havde at spise, kaldte han sine Disciple til sig og siger til dem:

Og han byder Skaren af sætte sig ned på Jorden; og han tog de syv Brød, takkede, brød, dem og gav sine Disciple dem, at de skulde lægge dem for; og de lagde dem for Skaren.

Og de havde nogle få Småfisk; og han velsignede dem og sagde, af også disse skulde lægges for.

Og de spiste og bleve mætte; og de opsamlede af tiloversblevne Stykker syv Kurve.

Men de vare omtrent fire Tusinde; og han lod dem gå bort.

Og straks gik han om Bord i Skibet med sine Disciple og kom til Dalmanuthas Egne.

Og Farisæerne gik ud og begyndte at strides med ham og forlangte af ham et Tegn fra Himmelen for at friste ham.

Og han forlod dem og gik atter om Bord og for over til hin Side.

Og de havde glemt at tage Brød med og havde kun eet Brød med sig i Skibet.

Have I Øjne og se ikke? Og have I Øren og høre ikke? Og komme I ikke i Hu?

Og de komme til Bethsajda. Og man fører en blind til ham og beder ham om, at han vil røre ved ham.

Og han tog den blinde ved Hånden og førte ham uden for Landsbyen og spyttede på hans Øjne og lagde Hænderne på ham og spurgte ham, om han så noget.

Derefter lagde han atter Hænderne på hans Øjne, og han blev klarsynet og var helbredt og kunde se alle Ting tydeligt.

Og han bød dem strengt,at de ikke måtte sige nogen dette om ham.

Og han begyndte at lære dem, at Menneskesønnen skulde lide meget og forkastes af de Ældste og Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge og ihjelslås og opstå efter tre Dage.

Og han talte dette frit ud. Og Peter tog ham til Side og begyndte at sætte ham i Rette.

Thi den, som vil frelse sit Liv, skal miste det; men den, som mister sit Liv for min og Evangeliets Skyld, han skal frelse det.

Thi hvad gavner det et Menneske at vinde den hele Verden og at bøde med sin Sjæl?

Thi hvad kunde et Menneske give til Vederlag for sin Sjæl?

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}.

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.
