MARK 8
Four Thousand Fed.
1 In those days, when there was again a large crowd [gathered before Him] and they had nothing to eat,
Jesus called His disciples and told them,
2 “I feel compassion for the crowd;
they have been with Me now for three days and have nothing [left] to eat.
3 If I send them away to their homes hungry,
they will faint
[from exhaustion]
on the road;
because some of them have come a long way.”
4 His disciples replied to Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this isolated place to feed these people?”
5 He asked them,
“How many loaves
[of bread]
do you have?”
They said, “Seven.”
6 He directed the people to sit down on the ground;
and taking the seven loaves,
He gave thanks
and broke them,
and [repeatedly] gave them to His disciples to set before them,
and they served the crowd.
7 They also had a few small fish;
and when Jesus had blessed them
[and given thanks], He ordered these [fish] to be set before them as well.
8 And the people ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
9 About four thousand [men] were there [besides women and children];
and He sent them away.
10 Then immediately He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to argue [contentiously and debate]
with Him, demanding from Him a sign from heaven,
to test Him
[because of their unbelief].
12 He groaned and sighed deeply in His spirit and said,
“Why does this generation demand a sign?
I assure you and most solemnly say to you,
no sign will be given to this generation!”
13 Leaving them,
He again boarded the boat and left for the other side.
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to bring bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.
15 Jesus repeatedly ordered them, saying,
“Watch out!
Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
16 They began discussing this with one another, saying, “It is because we have no bread
[that He said this].”
17 Jesus, aware of this [discussion], said to them,
“Why are you discussing
[the fact]
that you have no bread?
Do you still not see or understand?
Are your hearts hardened?
18 Though you have eyes,
do you not see?
And though you have ears,
do you not hear and listen
[to what I have said]?
And do you not remember,
19 when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand,
how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?”
They answered, “Twelve.”
20.“And [when I broke]
the seven [loaves] for the
four thousand,
how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?”
And they answered, “Seven.”
21 And He was saying to them,
“Do you still not understand?”
22 Then they came to Bethsaida;
and some people brought a blind man to Jesus and begged Him to touch him.
23 Taking the blind man by the hand,
He led him out of the village;
and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him,
“Do you see anything?”
24 And he looked up and said,
“I see people,
but [they look] like trees,
walking around.”
25 Then again Jesus laid His hands on his eyes;
and the man stared intently and [his sight] was [completely] restored,
and he began to see everything clearly.
26 And He sent him to his home, saying,
“Do not even enter the village.”
Peter’s Confession of Christ.
27 Then Jesus and His disciples went out to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He asked His disciples,
“Who do people say that I am?”
28 They answered Him,
“John the Baptist; and others say Elijah;
but others,
one of the prophets.”
29 And He asked them,
“But who do you say that I am?”
Peter replied to Him, “You
[in contrast to the others]
are the Christ
(the Messiah,
the Anointed).”
30 Then Jesus strictly warned them not to tell anyone about Him.
31 And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must
[of necessity]
suffer many things and be rejected [as the Messiah]
by the elders and the chief priests
and the scribes,
and must be put to death,
and after three days rise
[from death to life].
32 He was stating the matter plainly [not holding anything back].
Then Peter took Him aside and began to reprimand Him.
33 But turning around [with His back to Peter] and seeing His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying,
“Get behind Me, Satan;
for your mind is not set on God’s will or His values and purposes,
but on what pleases man.”
34 Jesus called the crowd together with His disciples,
and said to them,
“If anyone wishes to follow Me
[as My disciple],
he must deny himself
[set aside selfish interests],
and take up his cross
[expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come]
and follow Me
[believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and,
if need be,
suffering or perhaps dying
because of faith in Me].
35 For whoever wishes to save his life
[in this world]
will [eventually] lose it [through death],
but whoever loses his life
[in this world]
for My sake and the gospel’s will save it
[from the consequences of sin and separation from God].
36 For what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world
[with all its pleasures],
and forfeit his soul?
37 For what will a man give in exchange for his soul and eternal life
[in God’s kingdom]?
38 For whoever is ashamed
[here and now]
of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation,
the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
MARK 9
The Transfiguration.
1 And Jesus said to them,
“I assure you and most solemnly say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste (experience) death before they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”
2 Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John,
and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.
And He was transfigured (changed in form) before them [and began to shine brightly with divine and regal glory];
3 and His clothes became radiant and dazzling, intensely white,
as no launderer on earth can whiten them.
4 Elijah appeared to them along with Moses,
and they were having a conversation with Jesus.
5 Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Rabbi (Master),
it is good for us to be here;
let us make three [sacred] tents—one for You,
and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
6 For he did not [really] know what to say because they were terrified [and stunned by the miraculous sight].
7 Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them,
and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is My beloved Son.
Listen to Him and
obey Him!”
8 Suddenly they looked around and no longer saw anyone with them, except Jesus alone.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus expressly ordered them not to tell anyone what they had seen,
until the Son of Man had risen from the dead.
10 So they [carefully and faithfully]
kept the matter to themselves,
discussing
and questioning [with one another] what it meant to rise from the dead.
11 They asked Him, saying,
“Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first
[before the Messiah comes]?”
12 He answered them,
“Elijah does come first and restores and reestablishes all things.
And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things
[grief and physical distress]
and be treated with contempt
[utterly despised and rejected]?
13 But I say to you that Elijah has in fact come [already],
and they did to him whatever they wished,
just as it is written [in Scripture] of him.”
All Things Possible.
14 When they came [back] to the [other nine] disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and scribes questioning and arguing with them.
15 Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Jesus, they were startled and began running up to greet Him.
16 He asked them, “What are you discussing with them?”
17 One of the crowd replied to Him, “Teacher, I brought You my son, possessed with a spirit which makes him unable to speak; 18 and whenever it seizes him [intending to do harm],
it throws him down, and he foams
[at the mouth],
and grinds his teeth and becomes stiff.
I told Your disciples to drive it out, and they could not do it.” 19 He replied,
“O unbelieving (faithless) generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you?
Bring him to Me!”
20 They brought the boy to Him.
When the [demonic] spirit saw Him, immediately it threw the boy into a convulsion, and falling to the ground he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked his father,
“How long has this been happening to him?” And he answered, “Since childhood.
22 The demon has often thrown him both into fire and into water,
intending to kill him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us and help us!” 23 Jesus said to him,
“[You say to Me,]
‘If You can?’
All things are possible
for the one who believes
and trusts [in Me]!” 24 Immediately the father of the boy cried out
[with a desperate, piercing cry],
saying,
“I do believe;
help
[me overcome]
my unbelief.”
25 When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering [around them],
He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it,
“You deaf and mute spirit,
I command you, come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 After screaming out and throwing him into a terrible convulsion,
it came out.
The boy looked so much like a corpse [so still and pale] that many
[of the spectators] said,
“He is dead!”
27 But Jesus took him by the hand and raised him;
and he stood up.
28 When He had gone indoors,
His disciples began asking Him privately, “Why were we unable to drive it out?”
29 He replied to them,
“This kind [of unclean spirit] cannot come out by anything but prayer [to the Father].”
Death and Resurrection Foretold.
30 They went on from there and began to go through Galilee.
Jesus did not want anyone to know it, 31 because He was teaching His disciples
[and preparing them for the future].
He told them,
“The Son of Man is to be betrayed and handed over to men [who are His enemies],
and they will kill Him;
and when He has been killed,
He will rise
[from the dead] three days later.”
32 But they did not understand this statement,
and they were afraid to ask Him
[what He meant].
33 They arrived at Capernaum;
and when He was in the house,
He asked them, “What were you discussing and arguing about on the road?”
34 But they kept quiet,
because on the road they had discussed and debated with one another which one [of them] was the greatest.
35 Sitting down
[to teach],
He called the twelve [disciples] and said to them,
“If anyone wants to be first,
he must be last of all [in importance] and a servant of all.” 36 Taking a child,
He set him before them;
and taking him in His arms,
He said to them,
37 “Whoever receives and welcomes one child such as this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives not [only] Me,
but Him who sent Me.”
Dire Warnings.
38 John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name,
and we tried to stop him because he was not accompanying us
[as Your disciple].” 39 But Jesus said, “Do not stop him;
for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.
40 For he who is not against us is for us. 41 For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ,
I assure you and most solemnly say to you,
he will not lose his reward.
42 “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe and trust in Me to stumble [that is,
to sin or lose faith], it would be better for him if a heavy millstone
[one requiring a donkey’s strength to turn it]
were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea.
43 If your hand causes you to stumble and sin,
cut it off
[that is, remove yourself
from the source
of temptation]!
It is better for you
to enter life
crippled,
than to have two hands
and go into hell,
into the unquenchable fire, 44 [where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.]
45 If your foot causes you to stumble and sin,
cut it off
[that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]!
It would be better for you to enter life lame than to have two feet and be thrown into hell,
46 [where their worm does not die, and the fire is not put out.]
47 If your eye causes you to stumble and sin, throw it out [that is, remove yourself from the source of temptation]!
It would be better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48 where their worm [that feeds on the dead]
does not die,
and the fire is not put out.
49 “For everyone will be salted with fire. 50 Salt is good and useful;
but if salt has lost its saltiness (purpose),
how will you make it salty?
Have salt within yourselves continually,
and be at peace
with one another.”
