  Mark chapter 8. In those days when there was
• 0:03
  again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his
• 0:07
  disciples and said to them, I feel compassion for the people,
• 0:10
  because they have remained with me now three days and have
• 0:13
  nothing to eat. If I send them away hungry to
• 0:15
  their homes, they will faint on the way.
• 0:17
  And some of them have come from a great distance.
• 0:20
  And his disciples answered him, Where will anyone be able to
• 0:23
  find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these
• 0:27
  people? And he was asking them how many
• 0:29
  loaves do you have? And they said seven.
• 0:33
  And he directed the people to sit down on the ground and
• 0:36
  taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks and broke them and
• 0:39
  started giving them to His disciples to serve to them, and
• 0:42
  they serve them to the people. They also had a few small fish.
• 0:46
  And after he had blessed them, he ordered these to be served as
• 0:49
  well. And they ate and were satisfied.
• 0:52
  And they picked up 7 large baskets full of what was
• 0:54
  leftover of the broken pieces. About 4000 were there and He
• 0:59
  sent them away, and immediately He entered the boat with His
• 1:02
  disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha.
• 1:06
  The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, seeking from
• 1:09
  Him a sign from heaven to test Him.
• 1:12
  Sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, Why does this generation
• 1:16
  seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will
• 1:19
  be given to this generation. Leaving them, He again embarked
• 1:23
  and went away to the other side. And they had forgotten to take
• 1:26
  bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with
• 1:29
  them. And he was giving orders to
• 1:31
  them, saying, Watch out, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees
• 1:35
  and the leaven of Herod. They began to discuss with one
• 1:38
  another the fact that they had no bread.
• 1:41
  And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, Why do you discuss the
• 1:44
  fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or
• 1:47
  understand? Do you have a hardened heart?
• 1:51
  Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear?
• 1:54
  And do you not remember when I broke the five loaves for the
• 1:57
  5000, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?
• 2:01
  They said to him, 12 When I broke the seven for the 4000,
• 2:06
  how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?
• 2:09
  And they said to him, 7 And he was saying to them, Do you not
• 2:13
  yet understand? And they came to Bethsaida, and
• 2:16
  they brought a blind man to Jesus and implored him to touch
• 2:19
  him. Taking the blind man by the
• 2:21
  hand, he brought him out of the village.
• 2:23
  And after spitting on his eyes and laying his hands on him, he
• 2:26
  asked him, Do you see anything? And he looked up and said, I see
• 2:30
  men, for I see them like trees walking around.
• 2:34
  Then again he laid his hands on his eyes and he looked intently
• 2:37
  and was restored and began to see everything clearly.
• 2:41
  And he sent him to his home, saying, do not even enter the
• 2:43
  village. Jesus went out along with his
• 2:46
  disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi, and on the
• 2:49
  way he questioned his disciples, saying to them, Who do people
• 2:52
  say that I am? They told him, saying, John the
• 2:56
  Baptist and others say Elijah, but others one of the prophets.
• 3:00
  And he continued by questioning them.
• 3:03
  But who do you say that I am? Peter answered and said to him,
• 3:07
  You are the Christ. And he warned them to tell no
• 3:10
  one about him. And he began to teach them that
• 3:13
  the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the
• 3:16
  elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and
• 3:20
  after three days rise again. And he was stating the matter
• 3:24
  plainly. And Peter took him aside and
• 3:26
  began to rebuke him. But turning around and seeing
• 3:29
  his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, Get behind me, Satan,
• 3:32
  for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but
• 3:35
  man's. And he summoned the crowd with
• 3:37
  his disciples and said to them, If anyone wishes to come after
• 3:41
  me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
• 3:45
  For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it.
• 3:48
  But whoever loses his life for my sake and the Gospels will
• 3:52
  save it. For what does it profit a man to
• 3:54
  gain the whole world and forfeit his soul?
• 3:58
  For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
• 4:01
  For whoever is ashamed of me in my words, in this adulterous and
• 4:05
  sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him,
• 4:09
  when he comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.
