Mark 8

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 And now once again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat. So he cal ed hisdisciples to him and said to them,	1 In those days again, when there was a great multitude, and had nothing to eat; calling his disciples together, he saith to them:
2 'I feel sorry for al these people; they have been with me for three days now and have nothing to eat.	2 I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 If I send them off home hungry they wil col apse on the way; some have come a great distance.'	3 And if I shall send them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way; for some of them came from afar off.
4 His disciples replied, 'Where could anyone get these people enough bread to eat in a deserted place?'	4 And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness?
5 He asked them, 'How many loaves have you?' And they said to him, 'Seven.'	5 And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven.
6 Then he instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves, and after givingthanks he broke them and began handing them to his disciples to distribute; and they distributed them amongthe crowd.	6 And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, he broke, and gave to his disciples for to set before them; and they set them before the people.
7 They had a few smal fishes as wel , and over these he said a blessing and ordered them to bedistributed too.	7 And they had a few little fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded them to be set before them.
8 They ate as much as they wanted, and they col ected seven basketfuls of the scraps left over.	8 And they did eat and were filled; and they took up that which was left of the fragments, seven baskets.
9 Now there had been about four thousand people. He sent them away	9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
10 and at once, getting into the boat with his disciples, went to the region of Dalmanutha.	10 And immediately going up into a ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came up and started a discussion with him; they demanded of him a sign from heaven,to put him to the test.	11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, asking him a sign from heaven, tempting him.
12 And with a profound sigh he said, 'Why does this generation demand a sign? In truth I tel you, no signshall be given to this generation.'	12 And sighing deeply in spirit, he saith: Why doth this generation seek a sign? Amen, I say to you, a sign shall not be given to this generation.
13 And, leaving them again, he re-embarked and went away to the other side.	13 And leaving them, he went up again into the ship, and passed to the other side of the water.
14 The disciples had forgotten to take any bread and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.	14 And they forgot to take bread; and they had but one loaf with them in the ship.
15 Then he gave them this warning, 'Keep your eyes open; look out for the yeast of the Pharisees andthe yeast of Herod.'	15 And he charged them, saying: Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.
16 And they said to one another, 'It is because we have no bread.'	16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying: Because we have no bread.
17 And Jesus knew it, and he said to them, 'Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you stil notunderstand, stil not realise? Are your minds closed?	17 Which Jesus knowing, saith to them: Why do you reason, because you have no bread? do you not yet know nor understand? have you still your heart blinded?
18 Have you eyes and do not see, ears and do not hear? Or do you not remember?	18 Having eyes, see you not? and having ears, hear you not? neither do you remember.
19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of scraps did you col ect?'They answered, 'Twelve.'	19 When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They say to him, Twelve.
20 'And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets ful of scraps did youcol ect?' And they answered, 'Seven.'	20 When also the seven loaves among four thousand, how many baskets of fragments took you up? And they say to him, Seven.
21 Then he said to them, 'Do you still not realise?'	21 And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?
22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought to him a blind man whom they begged him totouch.	22 And they came to Bethsaida; and they bring to him a blind man, and they besought him that he would touch him.
23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the vil age. Then, putting spittle on his eyesand laying his hands on him, he asked, 'Can you see anything?'	23 And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town; and spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing.
24 The man, who was beginning to see, replied, 'I can see people; they look like trees as they walkaround.'	24 And looking up, he said: I see men as it were trees, walking.
25 Then he laid his hands on the man's eyes again and he saw clearly; he was cured, and he could seeeverything plainly and distinctly.	25 After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes, and he began to see, and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly.
26 And Jesus sent him home, saying, 'Do not even go into the vil age.'	26 And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if thou enter into the town, tell nobody.
27 Jesus and his disciples left for the vil ages round Caesarea Philippi. On the way he put this question tohis disciples, 'Who do people say I am?'	27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am?
28 And they told him, 'John the Baptist, others Elijah, others again, one of the prophets.'	28 Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets.
29 'But you,' he asked them, 'who do you say I am?' Peter spoke up and said to him, 'You are the Christ.'	29 Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ.
30 And he gave them strict orders not to tell anyone about him.	30 And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him.
31 Then he began to teach them that the Son of man was destined to suffer grievously, and to berejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be put to death, and after three days to riseagain;	31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the ancients and by the high priests, and the scribes, and be killed: and after three days rise again.
32 and he said all this quite openly. Then, taking him aside, Peter tried to rebuke him.	32 And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him.
33 But, turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said to him, 'Get behind me, Satan! Youare thinking not as God thinks, but as human beings do.'	33 Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the things that are of God, but that are of men.
34 He called the people and his disciples to him and said, 'If anyone wants to be a fol ower of mine, lethim renounce himself and take up his cross and follow me.	34 And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
35 Anyone who wants to save his life wil lose it; but anyone who loses his life for my sake, and for thesake of the gospel, wil save it.	35 For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.
36 What gain, then, is it for anyone to win the whole world and forfeit his life?	36 For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?
37 And indeed what can anyone offer in exchange for his life?	37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
38 For if anyone in this sinful and adulterous generation is ashamed of me and of my words, the Son ofman wil also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.'	38 For he that shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
	39 And he said to them: Amen I say to you, that there are some of them that stand here, who shall not taste death, till they see the kingdom of God coming in power.
