Mark 8 Free Bible Version
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
1 Around this time there was another large crowd that had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples together and told them,
1 EN aquellos días, como hubo gran gentío, y no tenían qué comer, Jesús llamó á sus discípulos, y les dijo:
2 “I feel for the crowd because they have already stayed with me for three days and they have nothing to eat.
2 Tengo compasión de la multitud, porque ya hace tres días que están conmigo, y no tienen qué comer:
3 If I send them home without food, they'll faint on the way. Some have come from a long way away.”
3 Y si los enviare en ayunas á sus casas, desmayarán en el camino; porque algunos de ellos han venido de lejos.
4 “Where could anybody find enough bread to feed them here in this wilderness?” answered his disciples.
4 Y sus discípulos le respondieron: ¿De dónde podrá alguien hartar á estos de pan aquí en el desierto?
5 “How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Seven,” they replied.
5 Y les preguntó: ¿Cuántos panes tenéis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete.
6 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves of bread, and gave thanks. He broke the bread and handed the pieces to his disciples to give to the crowd.
6 Entonces mandó á la multitud que se recostase en tierra; y tomando los siete panes, habiendo dado gracias, partió, y dió á sus discípulos que los pusiesen delante: y los pusieron delante á la multitud.
7 They had a few fish as well, so having blessed them, he said, “Take these and share them too.”
7 Tenían también unos pocos pececillos: y los bendijo, y mandó que también los pusiesen delante.
8 They ate until they were full, and then collected up seven baskets of leftovers.
8 Y comieron, y se hartaron: y levantaron de los pedazos que habían sobrado, siete espuertas.
9 There were four thousand people there. After sending them on their way,
9 Y eran los que comieron, como cuatro mil: y los despidió.
10 Jesus climbed into a boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
10 Y luego entrando en el barco con sus discípulos, vino á las partes de Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees arrived and began to argue with him, wanting him to give them a miraculous sign from heaven, trying to get him to prove himself.
11 Y vinieron los Fariseos, y comenzaron á altercar con él, pidiéndole señal del cielo, tentándole.
12 Jesus sighed deeply, and asked, “Why do you people want a sign? I tell you the truth: I will not give you a sign.”
12 Y gimiendo en su espíritu, dice: ¿Por qué pide señal esta generación? De cierto os digo que no se dará señal á esta generación.
13 So he left them behind, climbed into the boat, and went back across the lake.
13 Y dejándolos, volvió á entrar en el barco, y se fué de la otra parte.
14 But the disciples had forgotten to bring bread with them. All they had in the boat was one loaf.
14 Y se habían olvidado de tomar pan, y no tenían sino un pan consigo en el barco.
15 “Watch out—beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod!” he warned them.
15 Y les mandó, diciendo: Mirad, guardaos de la levadura de los Fariseos, y de la levadura de Herodes.
16 “He's saying that because we don't have any bread,” they concluded.
16 Y altercaban los unos con los otros diciendo: Pan no tenemos.
17 Jesus knew what they were saying, and said, “Why are you talking about not having any bread? Are you still not thinking and not understanding? Have you closed your minds?
17 Y como Jesús lo entendió, les dice: ¿Qué altercáis, porque no tenéis pan? ¿no consideráis ni entendéis? ¿aun tenéis endurecido vuestro corazón?
18 You've got eyes to see, haven't you? And ears to hear?
18 ¿Teniendo ojos no veis, y teniendo oídos no oís? ¿y no os acordáis?
19 Don't you remember when I shared five loaves among five thousand? How many basketfuls of leftovers did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied.
19 Cuando partí los cinco panes entre cinco mil, ¿cuántas espuertas llenas de los pedazos alzasteis? Y ellos dijeron: Doce.
20 “And the seven loaves divided among four thousand. How many basketfuls of leftovers did you pick up?” “Seven,” they answered.
20 Y cuando los siete panes entre cuatro mil, ¿cuántas espuertas llenas de los pedazos alzasteis? Y ellos dijeron: Siete.
21 “Do you still not understand?” he asked them.
21 Y les dijo: ¿Cómo aun no entendéis?
22 They went to Bethsaida where some people brought a blind man to Jesus. They begged Jesus to touch him and heal him.
22 Y vino á Bethsaida; y le traen un ciego, y le ruegan que le tocase.
23 Jesus took the blind man by the hand and took him outside the village. Jesus spat on the man's eyes and touched him with his hands. Then Jesus asked him, “Can you see anything?”
23 Entonces, tomando la mano del ciego, le sacó fuera de la aldea; y escupiendo en sus ojos, y poniéndole las manos encima, le preguntó si veía algo.
24 The man looked around, and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees walking.”
24 Y él mirando, dijo: Veo los hombres, pues veo que andan como árboles.
25 So Jesus touched the man's eyes again. He could see properly—he was cured and his sight was clear.
25 Luego le puso otra vez las manos sobre sus ojos, y le hizo que mirase; y fué restablecido, y vió de lejos y claramente á todos.
26 Jesus sent the man home, and told him, “Don't go back through the village.”
26 Y envióle á su casa, diciendo: No entres en la aldea, ni [lo] digas á nadie en la aldea.
27 Jesus and his disciples left to go to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say I am?”
27 Y salió Jesús y sus discípulos por las aldeas de Cesarea de Filipo. Y en el camino preguntó á sus discípulos, diciéndoles: ¿Quién dicen los hombres que soy yo?
28 “Some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, others say one of the prophets,” they replied.
28 Y ellos respondieron: Juan Bautista; y otros, Elías; y otros, Alguno de los profetas.
29 “But who do you say I am?” he asked them. “You are the Messiah!” Peter answered.
29 Entonces él les dice: Y vosotros, ¿quién decís que soy yo? Y respondiendo Pedro, le dice: Tú eres el Cristo.
30 Jesus warned them not to tell anybody about him.
30 Y les apercibió que no hablasen de él á ninguno.
31 Then Jesus began to explain to them that the Son of man would suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and religious teachers. He would be killed, but three days later would rise again.
31 Y comenzó á enseñarles, que convenía que el Hijo del hombre padeciese mucho, y ser reprobado de los ancianos, y de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los escribas, y ser muerto, y resucitar después de tres días.
32 Jesus explained this to them very clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and started to reprimand him for what he said.
32 Y claramente decía esta palabra. Entonces Pedro le tomó, y le comenzó á reprender.
33 Jesus turned around and looking at his disciples, reprimanded Peter. “Get away from me, Satan,” he said. “You're not thinking as God thinks, but as human beings do.”
33 Y él, volviéndose y mirando á sus discípulos, riñó á Pedro, diciendo: Apártate de mí, Satanás; porque no sabes las cosas que son de Dios, sino las que son de los hombres.
34 Jesus called the crowd and his disciples over to him, and told them, “If you want to follow me, you must give up on yourselves, pick up your cross and follow me.
34 Y llamando á la gente con sus discípulos, les dijo: Cualquiera que quisiere venir en pos de mí, niéguese á sí mismo, y tome su cruz, y sígame.
35 If you want to save your life you will lose it, but if you lose your life because of me and the good news you will save it.
35 Porque el que quisiere salvar su vida, la perderá; y el que perdiere su vida por causa de mí y del evangelio, la salvará.
36 What use is it for you to gain everything in the whole world, and lose your life?
36 Porque ¿qué aprovechará al hombre, si granjeare todo el mundo, y pierde su alma?
37 What would you give in exchange for your life?
37 ¿O qué recompensa dará el hombre por su alma?
38 If you're ashamed to acknowledge me and what I say among this unfaithful and sinful people, then the Son of man will be ashamed to acknowledge you when he comes with his Father's glory with the holy angels.”
38 Porque el que se avergonzare de mí y de mis palabras en esta generación adulterina y pecadora, el Hijo del hombre se avergonzará también de él, cuando vendrá en la gloria de su Padre con los santos ángeles.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
In expounding to you the Holy Scriptures, I as it were break bread for you. Do ye in hunger receive it, and break forth with a fulness of phrase from the heart; and ye who are rich in your banquet, be not meagre in good works and deeds. What I deal out to you is not mine own.

… for the remission of sins be preached in His name among all nations." Now this is He who was born of Mary; for He says: "The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected, and crucified, and on the third day rise again." The Gospel, therefore, knew no other son of man but Him who was of Mary, …
Hard and grievous does that appear which the Lord hath enjoined, that "whosoever will come after Him, must deny himself." But what He enjoineth is not hard or grievous, who aideth us that what He enjoineth may be done.

But Mark saith, that when they were come unto Him, and were questioning with Him, "He sighed deeply in His spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign?" And yet surely their inquiry was deserving of anger and great displeasure; yet nevertheless the benevolent and provident One is not angry, but pities and bewails them as incurably …
