Marcos 8 - Bíblia Online

Naqueles dias, como houvesse de novo concorrido uma grande multidão, e não tivesse que comer, chamou Jesus os discípulos e disse-lhes: 
Tenho compaixão deste povo, porque há três dias que está sempre comigo e nada tem que comer; 
se eu os mandar para suas casas em jejum, desfalecerão no caminho; pois alguns há que vieram de longe. 
Disseram seus discípulos: Donde poderá alguém satisfazê-los de pão aqui no deserto? 
Ele perguntou: Quantos pães tendes? Responderam eles: Sete. 
Ordenou ao povo que se assentasse no chão; tomando os sete pães, depois de haver dado graças, partiu-os e entregou a seus discípulos, para que os distribuíssem; e eles os distribuíram pela multidão. 
Tinham também alguns peixinhos; e abençoando-os, mandou que estes igualmente fossem distribuídos. 
Todos comeram e se fartaram; e levantaram, dos pedaços que sobejaram, sete alcofas. 
Eram cerca de quatro mil homens. 
Depois Jesus os despediu, e entrando logo na barca com seus discípulos, dirigiu-se para o território de Dalmanuta. 
Saíram os fariseus e começaram a discutir com ele, procurando obter dele um sinal do céu, para o experimentarem. 
Ele, dando um profundo suspiro em seu espírito, disse: Por que pede esta geração um sinal? em verdade vos digo que a esta geração nenhum sinal será dado. 
E deixando-os, tornou a embarcar e foi para o outro lado. 
Os discípulos esqueceram-se de levar pão; e não tinham consigo na barca senão um só. 
Jesus deu-lhes este preceito: Olhai, guardai-vos do fermento dos fariseus e do fermento de Herodes. 
Eles discorriam entre si, porque não tinham pão. 
Ele, percebendo-o, lhes perguntou: Por que discorreis, por não terdes pão? não compreendeis ainda, nem entendeis? tendes o vosso coração endurecido? 
Tendo olhos, não vedes? tendo ouvidos, não ouvis? não vos lembrais, 
quando parti os cinco pães para cinco mil, quantos cestos cheios de pedaços levantastes? Responderam eles: Doze. 
Quando parti os sete para quatro mil, quantas alcofas levantastes? Responderam: Sete. 
Disse-lhes: Ainda não entendeis? 
Então chegaram a Betsaida. Trouxeram-lhe um cego e pediram-lhe que o tocasse. 
Jesus, tomando o cego pela mão, conduziu-o para fora da aldeia; cuspindo-lhe nos olhos, pôs as mãos sobre ele e perguntou-lhe: Vês alguma coisa? 
Este, elevando os olhos, respondeu: Vejo os homens, porque, como árvores, os percebo andando. 
Então lhe pôs outra vez as mãos sobre os olhos; e ele, olhando atentamente, ficou são; e distinguia tudo com clareza. 
Depois o mandou para sua casa e disse: Não entres nem na aldeia. 
Saiu Jesus com seus discípulos para as aldeias de Cesaréia de Filipe; e no caminho perguntou-lhes: Quem dizem os homens que sou eu? 
Eles responderam: Uns dizem: João Batista; outros: Elias; e outros: Um dos profetas. 
Ele lhes perguntou: Mas vós, quem dizeis que sou eu? Respondeu-lhe Pedro: Tu és o Cristo. 
Ordenou-lhes Jesus que a ninguém falassem a respeito dele. 
Então começou a ensinar-lhes que era necessário que o Filho do homem padecesse muitas coisas, que fosse rejeitado pelos anciãos, pelos principais sacerdotes e pelos escribas, que fosse morto e que depois de três dias ressuscitasse. 
Isto dizia claramente. Pedro, chamando-o à parte, começou a admoestá-lo. 
Mas Jesus, virando-se e olhando para seus discípulos, repreendeu a Pedro e disse: Sai de diante de mim, Satanás, porque não cuidas das coisas de Deus, mas sim das dos homens. 
Chamando a si a multidão com seus discípulos, disse-lhes: Se alguém quer vir após mim, negue-se a si mesmo, tome a sua cruz e siga-me. 
Pois quem quiser salvar a sua vida, perdê-la-á; e quem perder a sua vida por amor de mim e do Evangelho, salvá-la-á. 
Que aproveita a um homem ganhar o mundo inteiro e perder a sua vida? 
Que daria um homem em troca da sua vida? 
Porque se alguém nesta geração adúltera e pecadora se envergonhar de mim e das minhas palavras, também dele se envergonhará o Filho do homem, quando vier na glória de seu Pai com os santos anjos. 

In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them, 
I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food; 
If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far. 
And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place? 
And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes. 
And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people. 
And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way. 
And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits. 
And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away. 
And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha. 
And the Pharisees came out and put questions to him, requesting from him a sign from heaven, testing him. 
And he was very sad in spirit, and said, Why is this generation looking for a sign? truly, I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation. 
And he went away from them, and again got into the boat and went across to the other side. 
And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat. 
And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod. 
And they said to one another, We have no bread. 
And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard? 
Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory? 
When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve. 
And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven. 
And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you? 
And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him. 
And he took the blind man by the hand, and went with him out of the town; and when he had put water from his mouth on his eyes, and put his hands on him, he said, Do you see anything? 
And looking up, he said, I see men; I see them like trees, walking. 
Then again he put his hands on his eyes; and looking hard, he was able to see, and saw all things clearly. 
And he sent him away to his house, saying, Do not even go into the town. 
And Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the little towns round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he put a question to his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am? 
And they made answer, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets. 
And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ. 
And he put them under orders not to say this of him to anyone. 
And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead. 
And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting. 
But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men. 
And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me. 
Whoever has a desire to keep his life, will have it taken from him; and whoever gives up his life because of me and the good news, will keep it. 
What profit has a man if he gets all the world with the loss of his life? 
And what would a man give in exchange for his life? 
Whoever has a feeling of shame because of me and my words in this false and evil generation, the Son of man will have a feeling of shame because of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
