New Testament

Mark 8

1In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,

εν εκειναις ταις ημεραις παλιν πολλου οχλου οντος και μη εχοντων τι φαγωσιν, προσκαλεσαμενος ο ιησους τους μαθητας αυτου λεγει αυτοις·

2'I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.

σπλαγχνιζομαι επι τον οχλον, οτι ηδη ημεραι τρεις προσμενουσιν μοι και ουκ εχουσιν τι φαγωσιν·

3And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.'

και εαν απολυσω αυτους νηστεις εις οικον αυτων, εκλυθησονται εν τη οδω· τινες γαρ αυτων απο μακροθεν ηκασιν.

4Then His disciples answered Him, 'How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?'

και απεκριθησαν αυτω οι μαθηται αυτου· ποθεν τουτους δυνησεται τις ωδε χορτασαι αρτων επ ερημιας;

5He asked them, 'How many loaves do you have?'

και επηρωτα αυτους· ποσους εχετε αρτους; οι δε ειπον· επτα.

6And they said, 'Seven.' So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

και παρηγγειλεν τω οχλω αναπεσειν επι της γης· και λαβων τους επτα αρτους ευχαριστησας εκλασεν και εδιδου τοις μαθηταις αυτου ινα παρατιθωσιν· και παρεθηκαν τω οχλω.

7They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them also before them.

και ειχον ιχθυδια ολιγα· και αυτα ευλογησας ειπεν παρατιθεναι και αυτα.

8So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.

εφαγον δε και εχορτασθησαν, και ηραν περισσευματα κλασματων επτα σπυριδας.

9Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away,

ησαν δε ως τετρακισχιλιοι· και απελυσεν αυτους.

10immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.

και εμβας ευθυς εις το πλοιον μετα των μαθητων αυτου ηλθεν εις τα μερη δαλμανουθα.

11Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.

και εξηλθον οι φαρισαιοι και ηρξαντο συζητειν αυτω, ζητουντες παρ αυτου σημειον απο του ουρανου, πειραζοντες αυτον.

12But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, 'Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.'

και αναστεναξας τω πνευματι αυτου λεγει· τι η γενεα αυτη σημειον επιζητει; αμην λεγω υμιν, ει δοθησεται τη γενεα ταυτη σημειον.

13And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side.

και αφεις αυτους εις το πλοιον απηλθεν παλιν.

14Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.

και επελαθοντο λαβειν αρτους, και ει μη ενα αρτον ουκ ειχον μεθ εαυτων εν τω πλοιω.

15Then He charged them, saying, 'Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.'

και διεστελλετο αυτοις λεγων· ορατε, βλεπετε απο της ζυμης των φαρισαιων και της ζυμης ηρωδου.

16And they reasoned among themselves, saying, 'It is because we have no bread.'

και διελογιζοντο προς αλληλους λεγοντες οτι αρτους ουκ εχομεν.

17But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, 'Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?

και γνους ο ιησους λεγει αυτοις· τι διαλογιζεσθε οτι αρτους ουκ εχετε; ουπω νοειτε ουδε συνιετε; ετι πεπωρωμενην εχετε την καρδιαν υμων;

18Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

οφθαλμους εχοντες ου βλεπετε, και ωτα εχοντες ουκ ακουετε; και ου μνημονευετε;

19When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up?'

οτε τους πεντε αρτους εκλασα εις τους πεντακισχιλιους, και ποσους κοφινους κλασματων πληρεις ηρατε; λεγουσιν αυτω· δωδεκα.

20They said to Him, 'Twelve.' 'Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?'

οτε δε τους επτα εις τους τετρακισχιλιους, ποσων σπυριδων πληρωματα κλασματων ηρατε; οι δε ειπον· επτα.

21And they said, 'Seven.' So He said to them, 'How is it you do not understand?'

και ελεγεν αυτοις· ουπω συνιετε;

22Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him.

και ερχεται εις βηθσαιδα. και φερουσιν αυτω τυφλον και παρακαλουσιν αυτον ινα αυτου αψηται.

23So 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 on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

και επιλαβομενος της χειρος του τυφλου εξηγαγεν αυτον εξω της κωμης, και πτυσας εις τα ομματα αυτου, επιθεις τας χειρας αυτω επηρωτα αυτον ει τι βλεπει.

24And he looked up and said, 'I see men like trees, walking.'

και αναβλεψας ελεγεν· βλεπω τους ανθρωπους ως δενδρα περιπατουντας.

25Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

ειτα παλιν επεθηκεν τας χειρας επι τους οφθαλμους αυτου και εποιησεν αυτον αναβλεψαι, και αποκατεσταθη, και ενεβλεψεν τηλαυγως απαντας.

26Then He sent him away to his house, saying, 'Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town.'

και απεστειλεν αυτον εις τον οικον αυτου λεγων· μηδε εις την κωμην εισελθης μηδε ειπης τινι εν τη κωμη.

27Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He asked His disciples, saying to them, 'Who do men say that I am?'

και εξηλθεν ο ιησους και οι μαθηται αυτου εις τας κωμας καισαρειας της φιλιππου· και εν τη οδω επηρωτα τους μαθητας αυτου λεγων αυτοις· τινα με λεγουσιν οι ανθρωποι ειναι;

28So they answered, 'John the Baptist; but some say, Elijah; and others, one of the prophets.'

οι δε απεκριθησαν· ιωαννην τον βαπτιστην, και αλλοι ηλιαν, αλλοι δε ενα των προφητων.

29He said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?'

και αυτος λεγει αυτοις· υμεις δε τινα με λεγετε ειναι; αποκριθεις δε ο πετρος λεγει αυτω· συ ει ο χριστος.

30Peter answered and said to Him, 'You are the Christ.' Then He strictly warned them that they should tell no one about Him.

και επετιμησεν αυτοις ινα μηδενι λεγωσιν περι αυτου.

31And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

και ηρξατο διδασκειν αυτους οτι δει τον υιον του ανθρωπου πολλα παθειν, και αποδοκιμασθηναι απο των πρεσβυτερων και των αρχιερεων και των γραμματεων, και αποκτανθηναι, και μετα τρεις ημερας αναστηναι·

32He spoke this word openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

και παρρησια τον λογον ελαλει. και προσλαβομενος αυτον ο πετρος ηρξατο επιτιμαν αυτω.

33But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, 'Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.'

ο δε επιστραφεις και ιδων τους μαθητας αυτου επετιμησεν τω πετρω λεγων· υπαγε οπισω μου, σατανα· οτι ου φρονεις τα του θεου, αλλα τα των ανθρωπων.

34When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, 'Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

και προσκαλεσαμενος τον οχλον συν τοις μαθηταις αυτου ειπεν αυτοις· οστις θελει οπισω μου ακολουθειν, απαρνησασθω εαυτον και αρατω τον σταυρον αυτου, και ακολουθειτω μοι.

35For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it.

ος γαρ αν θελη την ψυχην αυτου σωσαι, απολεσει αυτην· ος δ αν απολεση την εαυτου ψυχην ενεκεν εμου και του ευαγγελιου, ουτος σωσει αυτην.

36For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?

τι γαρ ωφελησει ανθρωπον εαν κερδηση τον κοσμον ολον, και ζημιωθη την ψυχην αυτου;

37Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

η τι δωσει ανθρωπος ανταλλαγμα της ψυχης αυτου;

38For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.'

ος γαρ εαν επαισχυνθη με και τους εμους λογους εν τη γενεα ταυτη τη μοιχαλιδι και αμαρτωλω, και ο υιος του ανθρωπου επαισχυνθησεται αυτον οταν ελθη εν τη δοξη του πατρος αυτου μετα των αγγελων των αγιων.
