Mark 8:17-37

¹⁷And when this thing was known, Jesus said to them, What think ye, for ye have not loaves? or bread? Yet ye know not, neither understand; yet ye have your heart blinded.

¹⁸Ye having eyes, see not, and ye having ears, hear not; neither ye have mind,

¹⁹when I brake five loaves among five thousand, and how many coffins full of broken meat took ye up? They said to him, Twelve.

²⁰When also seven loaves among four thousand of men, how many baskets full of broken meat took ye up? And they say to him, Seven.

²¹And he said to them, How understand ye not yet?

²²And they came to Bethsaida, and they brought to him a blind man, and they prayed him, that he would touch him.

²³And when he had taken the blind man’s hand, he led him out of the street, and he spat into his eyes, and set his hands on him; and he asked him, if he saw anything.

²⁴And he beheld, and said, I see men as trees walking.

²⁵Afterward again he set his hands on his eyes, and he began to see, and he was restored, so that he saw clearly all things.

²⁶And he sent him into his house, and said, Go into thine house; and if thou goest into the street, say to no man.

²⁷And Jesus entered in and his disciples, into the castles of Caesarea of Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, and said to them, Whom say men that I am?

²⁸Which answered to him, and said, Some say, John Baptist; others say, Elijah; and others say, as one of the prophets.

²⁹Then he saith to them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answered, and said to him, Thou art Christ.

³⁰And he charged them, that they should not say of him to any man.

³¹And he began to teach them, that it behooveth man’s Son to suffer many things, and to be reproved of the elder men, and of the highest priests, and of the scribes, and to be slain, and after three days, to rise again.

³²And he spake openly the word. And Peter took him, and began to blame him, and said, Lord, be thou merciful to thee, for this shall not be.

³³And he turned, and saw his disciples, and menaced Peter, and said, Go after me, thou Satan; for thou savourest or understandest not those things that be of God, but those things that be of men.

³⁴And when the people was called together, with his disciples, he said to them, If any man will come after me, deny he himself, and take his cross, and pursue he me or pursue me.

³⁵For he that will make safe his life, shall lose it, or Soothly whoso will make his soul, that is, his life, safe, shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for me, and for the gospel, shall make it safe.

³⁶For what profiteth it to a man, if he win all the world, and do impairing to his own soul?

³⁷or what exchanging shall a man give for his soul?
