   Mark Chapter 8   
      
   1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to   
   eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,   
      
   2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me   
   three days, and have nothing to eat:   
      
   3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint   
   by the way: for divers of them came from far.   
      
   4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these   
   men with bread here in the wilderness?   
      
   5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.   
      
   6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the   
   seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to   
   set before them; and they did set them before the people.   
      
   7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set   
   them also before them.   
      
   8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat   
   that was left seven baskets.   
      
   9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.   
      
   10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came   
   into the parts of Dalmanutha.   
      
   11 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking   
   of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.   
      
   12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this   
   generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign   
   be given unto this generation.   
      
   13 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the   
   other side.   
      
   14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in   
   the ship with them more than one loaf.   
      
   15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the   
   Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.   
      
   16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no   
   bread.   
      
   17 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye   
   have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your   
   heart yet hardened?   
      
   18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not   
   remember?   
      
   19 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets   
   full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.   
      
   20 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of   
   fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.   
      
   21 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?   
      
   22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and   
   besought him to touch him.   
      
   23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town;   
   and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked   
   him if he saw ought.   
      
   24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.   
      
   25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look   
   up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.   
      
   26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town,   
   nor tell it to any in the town.   
      
   27 And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea   
   Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom   
   do men say that I am?   
      
   28 And they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others,   
   One of the prophets.   
      
   29 And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Peter   
   answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.   
      
   30 And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.   
      
   31 And he began to teach them, that the Son of man must suffer many   
   things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and   
   scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.   
      
   32 And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to   
   rebuke him.   
      
   33 But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked   
   Peter, saying, Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the   
   things that be of God, but the things that be of men.   
      
   34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also,   
   he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself,   
   and take up his cross, and follow me.   
      
   35 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall   
   lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.   
      
   36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and   
   lose his own soul?   
      
   37 Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?   
      
   38 Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this   
   adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be   
   ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.   
      
   Mark Chapter 9   
      
   1 And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That there be some of   
   them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have   
   seen the kingdom of God come with power.   
      
   2 And after six days Jesus taketh with him Peter, and James, and John,   
   and leadeth them up into an high mountain apart by themselves: and he   
   was transfigured before them.   
      
   3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no   
   fuller on earth can white them.   
      
   4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Moses: and they were talking   
   with Jesus.   
      
   5 And Peter answered and said to Jesus, Master, it is good for us to be   
   here: and let us make three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for   
   Moses, and one for Elias.   
      
   6 For he wist not what to say; for they were sore afraid.   
      
   7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of   
   the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.   
      
   8 And suddenly, when they had looked round about, they saw no man any   
   more, save Jesus only with themselves.   
      
   9 And as they came down from the mountain, he charged them that they   
   should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were   
   risen from the dead.   
      
   10 And they kept that saying with themselves, questioning one with   
   another what the rising from the dead should mean.   
      
   11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first   
   come?   
      
   12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and   
   restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he   
   must suffer many things, and be set at nought.   
      
   13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done   
   unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.   
      
   14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about   
   them, and the scribes questioning with them.   
      
   15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly   
   amazed, and running to him saluted him.   
      
   16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?   
      
   17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought   
   unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;   
      
   18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and   
   gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples   
   that they should cast him out; and they could not.
