Chapter 8

Mark Chapter 8: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)

¹Within those, the days, {upon} ╓a multitudinous╖ ┌again a large┐ crowd, being and having not which they might eat, ╓the Jesus╖ ┌he┐, having addressed the adherents of him, says to them, ²“I am compassionated onto the crowd because already ╔three days╗ ┬they┬ bide-with me ┬three days┬, and they have not which they might eat; ³and if- I -would release them a fasting into a home of them, they will be-faint within the way ╓for╖ ┌and┐ some of them have-arrived at-a-distance.”

⁴And the adherents of him replied to him, “Upon a wilderness ╓whence╖ ┌that whence ┐ will someone be-able here to have satisfied these of loaves-of-bread?”

⁵And he ╓was interrogating╖ ┌was asking┐ them, “How-many loaves-of-bread do you have?”

Moreover the ones said, “Seven!”

⁶And he ╓directed╖ ┌directs┐ the crowd to have laid-themselves-back upon the land and he, having received the seven loaves-of-bread having given-thanks, broke {them}, and he was giving-freely {them} to the adherents of him so-that they ╓might distribute^‹a›╖ ┌may distribute^‹a›┐, and they distributed^‹a› {the loaves-of-bread} to the crowd.

⁷And they were having few small-fish, and having praised {for} them he said, “╓To have distributed^‹a› them╖ ┌To distribute^‹a› these┐ also.”

⁸╓Moreover╖ ┌And┐ they ate, and they were satisfied, and they lifted-up an overflow, seven hand-baskets, of fragments. ⁹Moreover ╓the-ones having eaten╖ ┌they┐ were nearly {the-ones} four-thousand, and he released them.

¹⁰And he, ╓immediately╖ ┌straightway┐ having embarked into the fishing-boat with the adherents of him, went into the districts, Dalmanutha.

¹¹And the Pharisees came-forth, and they, contesting him seeking beside him a sign from the heaven, began to have disputed with him.

¹²And he, having moaned-deeply {within} the spirit of him, says, “Why is this, the generation, ╓craving╖ ┌seeking┐ upon a sign? Truly I say to you if a sign will be given-freely this, the generation.”

¹³And he, having dismissed them again having embarked ╓into╖ ┬the┬ ╥a╥ ╓fishing-boat╖, went-forth into the-one on-the-other-side. ¹⁴Not-only did they forget to have taken the loaves-of-bread, but-also except ╓they forgot╖, they were having not one loaf-of-bread with themselves within the fishing-boat. ¹⁵And he was admonishing them saying, “Observe^you! You are seeing from the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of a Herod!”

¹⁶And they debated towards one-another ╓saying╖, “Because ╓we have╖ ┌they have┐ not loaves-of-bread.”

¹⁷And ╓the Jesus╖ ┌he┐, having known-experientially, says to them, “Why are you debating because you do not have loaves-of-bread? You are not-yet apprehending, not-even are you comprehending-thoroughly, ╓yet╖ you are having the heart of you, having had been become-hard, ¹⁸you, having eyes, are seeing not, and you, having ears, are hearing not, and you are calling-to-mind not. ¹⁹When I broke the five loaves-of bread into the-ones five-thousand, how-many satiated baskets of fragments did you lift-up?”

They say to him, “Twelve!”

²⁰╓Moreover╖ when {I broke} the-ones seven into the-ones four-thousand, filling-up of how-many hand-baskets of fragments did you lift-up?”

╓Moreover the-ones said╖ ┌And they say to him┐, “Seven!”

²¹And he was saying to them, “╓How not do╖ ┌Do┐ you ┌not-yet┐ comprehend-thoroughly!”

²²And ╓he comes╖ ┌they come┐ into a Bethsaida, and they bring to him {the-one} blind, and they entreat him so-that he might contact him. ²³And he, having attained the hand of the-one blind, ╓led-forth╖ ┌brought-forth┐ him outside the village, and he, having spitted into the eyes^‹b› of him having placed-upon him the hands, he was interrogating him, “Is he seeing everything-that?” ²⁴and he, having gazed, was saying I see the humanity that I observe walking as trees. ²⁵Accordingly he again placed-upon the eyes^‹c› of him the hands, and ╓did he make him to have gazed?╖ ┌did he see-clearly?┐ And did he restore, and ╓he gazed╖ ┌he looked-earnestly┐ {the-ones} quite-all distinctly. ²⁶And he sent-authoritatively him to ╓the╖ ┌a┐ home of him saying, “Not-even might you enter into the village, ╓not-even might you say something within the village╖.”

²⁷And the Jesus went-forth and the adherents of him into the villages of a Caesarea of a Philip, and within the way he was interrogating the adherents of him saying to them, “Whom are the humanity saying me to be?”

²⁸Moreover the-ones ╓replied╖ ┌said to him saying that┐, “{Some are saying you are} a John, the purifier, and {the-ones} other an Elijah, and moreover {the-ones} other ┌that┐ one of the prophets.”

²⁹And he ╓says╖ ┌was interrogating┐ them, “Moreover whom do you say me to be?”

╓Moreover╖ the Peter, having replied, says to him, “You are the-one anointed.”

³⁰And he censured them, “So-that they may say to no-one concerning him.”

³¹And he began to teach them that it-is-needful-for the son of the humanity to have suffered {the-ones} many and to have been rejected-as-unworthy ╓from╖ ┌from-under┐ the elders and ╔the╗ chief-priests and ╔the╗ scribes and to have been killed and after three days to have stood-up. ³²And he was speaking the word plainly, and the Peter, having taken-aside him, began to censure him.

³³Moreover the-one, having been turned-around^‹d› and having observed the adherents of him, censured ╓the╖ ┌a┐ Peter ╓saying╖ ┌and he says┐, “Depart^you back of me an adversary! Because you are-minded not the-ones of the god, but the-ones of the humanity.”

³⁴And he, having addressed the crowd with the adherents of him, said to them, “╓Whosoever╖ ┌anyone-who┐, desires to ┬have come┬ ╔follow╗ back of me, let he deny-utterly himself, and let he lift-up the cross of him, and let he follow me. ³⁵For whoever may desire to have rescued the soul of him, he will destroy-utterly it; moreover whoever ╓might destroy-utterly╖ ┌will destroy-utterly┐ the soul ╒of him╕ ╥of himself╥ on-account-of me and the good-news, ╓this-one╖ ┌he┐ will rescue it. ³⁶For which will derive-profit a person ╓if- he -would gain╖ ┌to have gained┐ the entire world-order, and ╓he might be caused-loss-of╖ ┌to have caused-loss-of┐ the soul of him, ³⁷╓or╖ ┌for┐ which ╓an exchange of the soul of him will a person give-freely╖ ┌might a person be given-freely {onto} an exchange of the soul of him┐? ³⁸For ┬whoever┬ ╔if-whoever╗ might be-ashamed-of me and the words of me within this, the generation, the adulteress and {the-one} of-bad-character; also the son of the humanity will be-ashamed-of him, whenever he might come within the renown of the father of him with the universal-messengers, the-ones sacred.”
