Evangelium secundum Marcum, 8

1. In illis diebus iterum cum turba multa esset nec haberent, quod manducarent, convocatis discipulis, ait illis:

1. In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them,

2. “Misereor super turbam, quia iam triduo sustinent me nec habent, quod manducent;

2. "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;

3. et si dimisero eos ieiunos in domum suam, deficient in via; et quidam ex eis de longe venerunt”.

3. and if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long way."

4. Et responderunt ei discipuli sui: “Unde istos poterit quis hic saturare panibus in solitudine?”.

4. And his disciples answered him, "How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?"

5. Et interrogabat eos: “Quot panes habetis?”. Qui dixerunt: “Septem”.

5. And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven."

6. Et praecipit turbae discumbere supra terram; et accipiens septem panes, gratias agens fregit et dabat discipulis suis, ut apponerent; et apposuerunt turbae.

6. And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.

7. Et habebant pisciculos paucos; et benedicens eos, iussit hos quoque apponi.

7. And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.

8. Et manducaverunt et saturati sunt; et sustulerunt, quod superaverat de fragmentis, septem sportas.

8. And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

9. Erant autem quasi quattuor milia. Et dimisit eos.

9. And there were about four thousand people.

10. Et statim ascendens navem cum discipulis suis venit in partes Dalmanutha.

10. And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha.

11. Et exierunt pharisaei et coeperunt conquirere cum eo quaerentes ab illo signum de caelo, tentantes eum.

11. The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, to test him.

12. Et ingemiscens spiritu suo ait: “Quid generatio ista quaerit signum? Amen dico vobis: Non dabitur generationi isti signum”.

12. And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."

13. Et dimittens eos, iterum ascendens abiit trans fretum.

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

14. Et obliti sunt sumere panes et nisi unum panem non habebant secum in navi.

14. Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

15. Et praecipiebat eis dicens: “Videte, cavete a fermento pharisaeorum et fermento Herodis!”.

15. And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."

16. Et disputabant ad invicem, quia panes non haberent.

16. And they discussed it with one another, saying, "We have no bread."

17. Quo cognito, ait illis: “Quid disputatis, quia panes non habetis? Nondum cognoscitis nec intellegitis? Caecatum habetis cor vestrum?

17. And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

18. Oculos habentes non videtis, et aures habentes non auditis? Nec recordamini,

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

19. quando quinque panes fregi in quinque milia, quot cophinos fragmentorum plenos sustulistis?”. Dicunt ei: “Duodecim”.

19. When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They said to him, "Twelve."

20. “Quando illos septem in quattuor milia, quot sportas plenas fragmentorum tulistis?”. Et dicunt ei: “Septem”.

20. "And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven."

21. Et dicebat eis: “Nondum intellegitis?”.

21. And he said to them, "Do you not yet understand?"

22. Et veniunt Bethsaida. Et adducunt ei caecum et rogant eum, ut illum tangat.

22. And they came to Beth-sa'ida. And some people brought to him a blind man, and begged him to touch him.

23. Et apprehendens manum caeci eduxit eum extra vicum; et exspuens in oculos eius, impositis manibus ei, interrogabat eum: “Vides aliquid?”.

23. And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, "Do you see anything?"

24. Et aspiciens dicebat: “Video homines, quia velut arbores video ambulantes”.

24. And he looked up and said, "I see men; but they look like trees, walking."

25. Deinde iterum imposuit manus super oculos eius; et coepit videre et restitutus est et videbat clare omnia.

25. Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and saw everything clearly.

26. Et misit illum in domum suam dicens: “Nec in vicum introieris”.

26. And he sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."

27. Et egressus est Iesus et discipuli eius in castella Caesareae Philippi; et in via interrogabat discipulos suos dicens eis: “Quem me dicunt esse homines?”.

27. And Jesus went on with his disciples, to the villages of Caesare'a Philip'pi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do men say that I am?"

28. Qui responderunt illi dicentcs: “Ioannem Baptistam, alii Eliam, alii vero unum de prophetis”.

28. And they told him, "John the Baptist; and others say, Eli'jah; and others one of the prophets."

29. Et ipse interrogabat eos: “Vos vero quem me dicitis esse?”. Respondens Petrus ait ei: “Tu es Christus”.

29. And he asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Christ."

30. Et comminatus est eis, ne cui dicerent de illo.

30. And he charged them to tell no one about him.

31. Et coepit docere illos: “Oportet Filium hominis multa pati et reprobari a senioribus et a summis sacerdotibus et scribis et occidi et post tres dies resurgere”;

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

32. et palam verbum loquebatur. Et apprehendens eum Petrus coepit increpare eum.

32. And he said this plainly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

33. Qui conversus et videns discipulos suos comminatus est Petro et dicit: “Vade retro me, Satana, quoniam non sapis, quae Dei sunt, sed quae sunt hominum”.

33. But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter, and said, "Get behind me, Satan! For you are not on the side of God, but of men."

34. Et convocata turba cum discipulis suis, dixit eis: “Si quis vult post me sequi, deneget semetipsum et tollat crucem suam et sequatur me.

34. And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

35. Qui enim voluerit animam suam salvam facere, perdet eam; qui autem perdiderit animam suam propter me et evangelium, salvam eam faciet.

35. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it.

36. Quid enim prodest homini, si lucretur mundum totum et detrimentum faciat animae suae?

36. For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

37. Quid enim dabit homo commutationem pro anima sua?

37. For what can a man give in return for his life?

38. Qui enim me confusus fuerit et mea verba in generatione ista adultera et peccatrice, et Filius hominis confundetur eum, cum venerit in gloria Patris sui cum angelis sanctis”.

38. For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of man also be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."
