Mark 8:21-38 in English

²¹ And he said unto them, Do ye not yet understand?

²² And they come unto Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.

²³ And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught?

²⁴ And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold them as trees, walking.

²⁵ Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly.

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

²⁷ And Jesus went forth, and his disciples, into the villages of Cæsarea Philippi: and on the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

²⁸ And they told him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

²⁹ And he asked them, But who say ye that I am? 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 by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³² And he spake the saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

³³ But he turning about, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan; for thou mindest not the things of God, but the things of men.

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

³⁵ For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s shall save it.

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

³⁷ For what should a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

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 Cæsarea 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.

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 Cæsarea 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.

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.

²¹ And he said unto them, Do ye not yet understand?

²² And they come unto Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.

³⁵ For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel’s shall save it.

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

³⁷ For what should a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of man also shall be ashamed of him, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

²¹ Then he kept saying to them, “◄ I am disappointed that you do not understand yet that you should never worry that you do not have enough food!/Why do you not understand yet that you should never worry that you do not have enough food?►” RHQ

²² They arrived in the boat at Bethsaida town. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him in order to heal him.

²³ Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man's eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”

²⁴ The man looked up and then he said, “ Yes, I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them clearly. They look like trees!”

²⁵ Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.

²⁶ Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did!” Then he sent the man to his home.

²⁷ Jesus and the disciples left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I really am?”

²⁸ They replied, “ Some people say that you are John the Baptizer, who has come back to life again. Others say that you are the prophet Elijah who has returned from heaven as God promised. And others say that you are one of the other former prophets who has come back to life again.”

²⁹ He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “ We believe that you are the Messiah!”

³⁰ Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone yet that he was the Messiah.

³¹ Then Jesus began to teach them, “ Even though I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the Jewish laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the Jewish laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day after I am killed I will become alive again.”

³² He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, because he assumed that the Messiah would never die, he started to rebuke Jesus for talking about dying.

³³ Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan is causing you to talk like that! Instead of wanting what God wants me to do, you are wanting me to do only what most people would want me to do.”

³⁴ Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples so that they might listen to him. He told them, “If any one of you wants to be my disciple, you must not do only what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals who are forced to carry crosses MET to the places where they will be crucified. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.

³⁵ You must do that, because those who try to save their lives by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me will not live eternally, but those who are killed because of being my disciples and because of telling others my good message will live forever with me.

³⁶ People might get everything they want in this world, but ◄they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life because they do not become my disciples!/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life because they do not become my disciples?► RHQ

³⁷ ◄ Think carefully about the fact that there is absolutely nothing that people can give to God that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give to God in order to gain eternal life?► RHQ

³⁸ And think about this: Those who refuse to say that they belong to me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away from God and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that they belong to me when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”

²¹ He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”

²² He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.

²³ He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴ He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”

²⁵ Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.

²⁶ He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”

²⁷ Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”

²⁸ They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”

²⁹ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”

³⁰ He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

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

³² He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.

³³ But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

³⁴ He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.

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

³⁷ For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

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

²¹ He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”

²² He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.

²³ He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴ He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”

²⁵ Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.

²⁶ He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”

²⁷ Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”

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

²¹ He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”

²³ He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

³⁷ For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

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

²¹ And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you?

²² And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.

²³ 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?

²⁴ And looking up, he said, I see men; I see them like trees, walking.

²⁵ Then again he put his hands on his eyes; and looking hard, he was able to see, and saw all things clearly.

²⁶ And he sent him away to his house, saying, Do not even go into the town.

²⁷ 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?

²⁸ And they made answer, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, One of the prophets.

²⁹ And he said to them, But who do you say I am? Peter said in answer, You are the Christ.

³⁰ And he put them under orders not to say this of him to anyone.

³¹ 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.

³² And he said this openly. And Peter took him, and was protesting.

³³ 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.

³⁴ 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.

³⁵ 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.

³⁶ What profit has a man if he gets all the world with the loss of his life?

³⁷ And what would a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸ 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.

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

²² And he comes to Bethsaida; and they bring him a blind man, and beseech him that he might touch him.

²³ And taking hold of the hand of the blind man he led him forth out of the village, and having spit upon his eyes, he laid his hands upon him, and asked him if he beheld anything.

²⁴ And having looked up, he said, I behold men, for I see them, as trees, walking.

²⁵ Then he laid his hands again upon his eyes, and he saw distinctly, and was restored and saw all things clearly.

²⁶ And he sent him to his house, saying, Neither enter into the village, nor tell it to any one in the village.

²⁷ And Jesus went forth and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea-Philippi. And by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them, Who do men say that I am?

²⁸ And they answered him, saying, John the baptist; and others, Elias; but others, One of the prophets.

²⁹ And he asked them, But ye, who do ye say that I am? And Peter answering says to him, Thou art the Christ.

³⁰ And he charged them straitly, in order that they should tell no man about 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 of the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³² And he spoke the thing openly. And Peter, taking him to him, began to rebuke him.

³³ But he, turning round and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, saying, Get away behind me, Satan, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men.

³⁴ And having called the crowd with his disciples, he said to them, Whoever desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me.

³⁵ For whosoever shall desire to save his life shall lose it, but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's shall save it.

³⁶ For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?

³⁷ for what should a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁸ For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him shall the Son of man also be ashamed when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

²¹ And he said to them: How do you not yet understand?

²² And they came to Bethsaida; and they bring to him a blind man, and they besought him that he would touch him.

²³ And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the town; and spitting upon his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he saw any thing.

²⁴ And looking up, he said: I see men as it were trees, walking.

²⁵ After that again he laid his hands upon his eyes, and he began to see, and was restored, so that he saw all things clearly.

²⁶ And he sent him into his house, saying: Go into thy house, and if thou enter into the town, tell nobody.

²⁷ And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And in the way, he asked his disciples, saying to them: Whom do men say that I am?

²⁸ Who answered him, saying: John the Baptist; but some Elias, and others as one of the prophets.

²⁹ Then he saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Peter answering said to him: Thou art the Christ.

³⁰ And he strictly charged them that they should not tell any man of him.

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

³² And he spoke the word openly. And Peter taking him, began to rebuke him.

³³ Who turning about and seeing his disciples, threatened Peter, saying: Go behind me, Satan, because thou savorest not the things that are of God, but that are of men.

³⁴ And calling the multitude together with his disciples, he said to them: If any man will follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whosoever will save his life, shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel, shall save it.

³⁶ For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?

³⁷ Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁸ For he that shall be ashamed of me, and of my words, in this adulterous and sinful generation: the Son of man also will be ashamed of him, when he shall come in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

²¹ So He said to them, “How is it you do not understand?”

²² Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and implored Him to touch him.

²³ And having taken the hand of the blind man, He led him outside the village, and having spit on his eyes, and having laid His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴ And when he looked up he said, “I see men like trees, walking.”

²⁵ Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him to look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly again.

²⁶ Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”

²⁷ Now Jesus and His disciples went out to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the road He was questioning His disciples, saying to them, “Who do men pronounce Me to be?”

²⁸ So they answered, “John the Baptist; and others say, Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.”

²⁹ He said to them, “But who do you pronounce Me to be?” Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ.”

³⁰ Then He warned them that they should tell no one about Him.

³¹ And He began to teach them that it was necessary for the Son of Man to suffer many things, and to be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and to be killed, and after three days to rise.

³² He was speaking this word with boldness. And Peter, taking Him aside, began to rebuke Him.

³³ But when He had turned and saw His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, “Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”

³⁴ And having summoned the crowd together with His disciples, He said to them, “Whoever is willing to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.

³⁵ For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's, will save it.

³⁶ For what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul?

³⁷ Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁸ For whosoever is ashamed of Me and My words among this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him, whenever He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”

²¹ So He said to them, “How is it that you still don't understand?”

²² Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.

²³ So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; then spitting into his eyes and laying hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴ And looking up he said, “I do see men, only they look like walking trees.”

²⁵ Then He put His hands on his eyes again, and made him look up; and he was restored and saw everyone clearly.

²⁶ Then He sent him away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the village nor tell anyone in the village.”

²⁷ Then Jesus and His disciples set out for the towns of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, “Who are people saying that I am?”

²⁸ So they answered, “John the Baptist; others Elijah; still others one of the prophets.”

²⁹ He said to them, “And who do you say that I am?” So Peter answered and said to Him, “You are the Christ!”

³⁰ Then He charged them that they should tell no one about Him.

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

³² He said these things quite plainly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him.

³³ But He turned, looked at His disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying: “Get behind me, Satan! You have in mind men's values, not God's values.”

³⁴ He summoned the crowd, along with His disciples, and said to them: “Whoever wants to follow along behind me must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.

³⁵ Because whoever may resolve to ‘save’ his life will waste it; but whoever may ‘waste’ his life for my sake and the Gospel's, he will save it.

³⁶ Well, what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?

³⁷ Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

³⁸ Yes, whoever is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of the Man will also be ashamed of Him whenever He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy Angels.”

²¹ “Do you still not understand?” he asked them.

²² They went to Bethsaida where some people brought a blind man to Jesus. They begged Jesus to touch him and heal him.

²³ Jesus took the blind man by the hand and took him outside the village. Jesus spat on the man's eyes and touched him with his hands. Then Jesus asked him, “Can you see anything?”

²⁴ The man looked around, and said, “I can see people, but they look like trees walking.”

²⁵ So Jesus touched the man's eyes again. He could see properly—he was cured and his sight was clear.

²⁶ Jesus sent the man home, and told him, “Don't go back through the village.”

²⁷ Jesus and his disciples left to go to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say I am?”

²⁸ “Some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, others say one of the prophets,” they replied.

²⁹ “But who do you say I am?” he asked them. “You are the Messiah!” Peter answered.

³⁰ Jesus warned them not to tell anybody about him.

³¹ Then Jesus began to explain to them that the Son of man would suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and religious teachers. He would be killed, but three days later would rise again.

³² Jesus explained this to them very clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and started to reprimand him for what he said.

³³ Jesus turned around and looking at his disciples, reprimanded Peter. “Get away from me, Satan,” he said. “You're not thinking as God thinks, but as human beings do.”

³⁴ Jesus called the crowd and his disciples over to him, and told them, “If you want to follow me, you must give up on yourselves, pick up your cross and follow me.

³⁵ If you want to save your life you will lose it, but if you lose your life because of me and the good news you will save it.

³⁶ What use is it for you to gain everything in the whole world, and lose your life?

³⁷ What would you give in exchange for your life?

³⁸ If you're ashamed to acknowledge me and what I say among this unfaithful and sinful people, then the Son of man will be ashamed to acknowledge you when he comes with his Father's glory with the holy angels.”

²¹ Then he saide vnto them, Howe is it that ye vnderstand not?

²² And hee came to Bethsaida, and they brought a blinde man vnto him, and desired him to touch him.

²³ Then he tooke the blinde by the hand, and ledde him out of the towne, and spat in his eyes, and put his handes vpon him, and asked him, if he sawe ought.

²⁴ And he looked vp, and said, I see men: for I see them walking like trees.

²⁵ After that, he put his hands againe vpon his eyes, and made him looke againe. And hee was restored to his sight, and sawe euery man a farre off clearely.

²⁶ And hee sent him home to his house, saying, Neither goe into the towne, nor tell it to any in the towne.

²⁷ And Iesus went out, and his disciples into the townes of Cesarea Philippi. And by the way hee asked his disciples, saying vnto them, Whome doe men say that I am?

²⁸ And they answered, Some say, Iohn Baptist: and some, Elias: and some, one of the Prophets.

²⁹ And he said vnto them, But whome say ye that I am? Then Peter answered, and saide vnto him, Thou art that Christ.

³⁰ And he sharpely charged them, that concerning him they should tell no man.

³¹ Then hee began to teache them that the Sonne of man must suffer many things, and should be reproued of the Elders, and of the hie Priestes, and of the Scribes, and be slaine, and within three dayes rise againe.

³² And he spake that thing boldly. Then Peter tooke him aside, and began to rebuke him.

³³ Then he turned backe, and looked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying, Get thee behinde me, Satan: for thou vnderstandest not the things that are of God, but the things that are of men.

³⁴ And hee called the people vnto him with his disciples, and saide vnto them, Whosoeuer will follow me, let him forsake himselfe, and take vp his crosse, and follow me.

³⁵ For whosoeuer will saue his life, shall lose it: but whosoeuer shall lose his life for my sake and the Gospels, he shall saue it.

³⁶ For what shall it profite a man, though he should winne the whole world, if he lose his soule?

³⁷ Or what exchange shall a man giue for his soule?

³⁸ For whosoeuer shall be ashamed of mee, and of my wordes among this adulterous and sinfull generation, of him shall the Sonne of man be ashamed also, when he commeth in the glorie of his Father with the holy Angels.

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 Cesarea 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.

²² Jesus went to that town Bethsaida. Some people brought to him a man on a lead, he was truly blind, he could not see. They begged Jesus, “Touch him to make him well.”

²³ Jesus took the blind man by the hand to outside the town. He spat on his own hand, he touched the spit, he put it on the man's eyes, he asked him, “Do you see?”

²⁴ The man looked around a bit, he said to him, “I see people blurrily. I think they look like trees. My eyes deceive me. They are not trees. They have been walking around.”

²⁵ Again Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes. The man was looking carefully, he saw well.

²⁶ Jesus sent him to his camp. He told him, “Do not go to that town, do not tell them I did this for you.”

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

²² And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.

²³ And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the village; and spitting on his eyes, and putting his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴ And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.

²⁵ Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.

²⁶ And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.

²⁷ And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?

²⁸ And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.

²⁹ And he asked them, But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering saith to him, Thou art the Christ.

³⁰ And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.

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 put to death, and after three days rise again;

³² and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.

³³ But he turning about and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan! for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those of men.

³⁴ And calling the multitude to him with his disciples also, he said to them, Whoever chooseth to follow me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whoever chooseth to save his life, will lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for the sake of me and of the glad tidings, will save it.

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

³⁷ For what can a man give as an exchange for his life?

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

²¹ “Don't you understand now?” he repeated.

²² They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.

²³ Taking the blind man's hand, Jesus led him to the outskirts of the village, and, when he had put saliva on the man's eyes, he placed his hands on him, and asked him, “Do you see anything?”

²⁴ The man looked up, and said, “I see the people, for, as they walk about, they look to me like trees.”

²⁵ Then Jesus again placed his hands on the man's eyes; and the man saw clearly, his sight was restored, and he saw everything with perfect distinctness.

²⁶ Jesus sent him to his home, and said, “Do not go even into the village.”

²⁷ Afterward Jesus and his disciples went into the villages around Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples this question — “Who do people say that I am?”

²⁸ “John the Baptist,” they answered, “but others say Elijah, while others say one of the prophets.”

²⁹ “But you,” he asked, “who do you say that I am?” To this Peter replied, “You are the Christ.”

³⁰ At which Jesus charged them not to say this about him to anyone.

³¹ Then he began to teach them that the Son of Man must undergo much suffering, and that he must be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the teachers of the Law, and be put to death, and rise again after three days.

³² He said all this quite openly. But Peter took Jesus aside, and began to rebuke him.

³³ Jesus, however, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter. “Out of my sight, Satan!” he exclaimed. “For you look at things, not as God does, but as people do.”

³⁴ Calling the people and his disciples to him, Jesus said, “If anyone wishes to walk in my steps, they must renounce self, take up their cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it, and whoever, for my sake and for the sake of the good news, will lose their life will save it.

³⁶ What good is it to a person to gain the whole world and forfeit their life?

³⁷ For what could a person give that is of equal value with their life?

³⁸ Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, in this unfaithful and wicked generation, of them will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.”

²¹ “Don't you understand now?” he repeated.

²² They came to Bethsaida. There some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and begged him to touch him.

²³ Taking the blind man's hand, Jesus led him to the outskirts of the village, and, when he had put saliva on the man's eyes, he placed his hands on him, and asked him, “Do you see anything?”

²⁷ Afterward Jesus and his disciples went into the villages around Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples this question — “Who do people say that I am?”

²⁸ “John the Baptist,” they answered, “but others say Elijah, while others say one of the prophets.”

²⁹ “But you,” he asked, “who do you say that I am?” To this Peter replied, “You are the Christ.”

³⁶ What good is it to a person to gain the whole world and forfeit their life?

³⁷ For what could a person give that is of equal value with their life?

³⁸ Whoever is ashamed of me and of my teaching, in this unfaithful and wicked generation, of them will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.”

²¹ He asked them, “Don’t you understand, yet?”

²² He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged him to touch him.

²³ He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴ He looked up, and said, “I see men; for I see them like trees walking.”

²⁵ Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.

²⁶ He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”

²⁷ Yeshua Salvation went out, with his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi Ruler Loves horses. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”

²⁸ They told him, “John Yah is gracious the Immerser, and others say Elijah My God Yah, but others: one of the prophets.”

²⁹ He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter Rock answered, “You are the Messiah Anointed one.”

³⁰ He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

³¹ He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the Torah-Teachers, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

³² He spoke to them openly. Peter Rock took him, and began to rebuke him.

³³ But he, turning around, and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter Rock, and said, “Get behind me, Satan Adversary! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

³⁴ He called the multitude to himself with his disciples, and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his execution-stake, and follow me.

³⁵ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.

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

³⁷ For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

³⁸ For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him, when he comes in 'Aviv ·his Father·’s glory, with the holy angels.”

²¹ Jesus asked them, “So how come you still don’t understand about me?”

²² Jesus and his followers came to a place called Bethsaida on the west side of Lake Galilee, and they got out of the boat. Some people brought a blind man up to him and asked Jesus to touch him and make him better.

²³ Jesus held the man’s hand and led him outside the community. Then Jesus spat on the man’s eyes and then put his hands on him and said, “Can you see anything now?”

²⁴ The man looked around and said, “Yes, I can see a little bit. I can see people, but they look like trees walking around.”

²⁵ So Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes again. Then the man carefully looked around again, and his eyes were properly better, and he saw everything clearly.

²⁶ Jesus told the man to go straight home. He said, “As you walk home, don’t go into that community. Don’t let anyone see that I made you better.”

²⁷ Then Jesus and his followers left Galilee country and went north to some communities in the country called Caesarea Philippi. As they walked along the track, Jesus asked his followers, “When people talk about me, who do they reckon I really am?”

²⁸ They answered, “Some people reckon you are John the Baptiser come alive again. And other people reckon you are Elijah, that man that lived a long time ago. And other people reckon you are one of those other men that told God’s messages a long time ago.”

²⁹ So Jesus said, “Who do you reckon I really am?” Peter said straight out, “You are the man that God sent to save people. We have to call you Christ.”

³⁰ Jesus told them strongly, “Don’t tell that to anyone yet.”

³¹ Then Jesus told his followers about the bad things that will happen to him. He said, “The elders, the ceremony leaders and the law teachers will reckon I’m no good, even though I’m God’s special man from heaven. That mob will hurt me badly in lots of ways, and they will kill me. I will be dead for 3 days, then I will get up alive again.”

³² Jesus talked straight to them, but Peter couldn’t believe it. He took Jesus away from the others and growled at him for talking that way.

³³ Jesus looked at the other followers there, then he said strongly to Peter, “Go away from me. You are like Satan. You are not thinking God’s way. You are just thinking like a man.”

³⁴ Then Jesus called out to all the people that were there. He called them to come up close, with his followers, and he said to them all, “If anyone wants to follow me properly, he has to stop thinking only about himself. He has to live like me. He has to be ready to die, yes, die like a crook on a cross, just like me.

³⁵ If a person only wants to look after his own life here on earth he will lose it. He will not be in heaven with me. But if anyone is happy to give up his life here and live my way, and tell other people the good news about me, he will find real life. He will live with me for ever.

³⁶ You see, a man might get everything in the whole world for himself, but if he misses out on real life and doesn’t get to heaven, all that stuff is useless to him.

³⁷ All that stuff can’t get him to heaven, to get real life.

³⁸ You know that there are people that are really bad, and they don’t take any notice of God. If anyone is so frightened of them that he is ashamed about me and my story, I will be ashamed of him later. I’m God’s special man from heaven, and one day my Father, God, will make me really great, and I will come back here with all God’s angel messengers. But if anyone is ashamed of me now, I will be ashamed of him at that time when I come back.”

²² And he came to Bethsaida and they brought a blynde man vnto him and desyred him to touche him.

²³ And he caught the blynde by the honde and leade him out of the toune and spat in his eyes and put his hondes apon him and axed him whether he saw ought.

²⁹ And he sayde vnto them: But whom saye ye that I am? Peter answered and sayd vnto him: Thou arte very Christe.

³⁰ And he charged them that they shuld tell no man of it.

³¹ And he beganne to teache them how that the sonne of man must suffre many thinges and shuld be reproved of the elders and of the hye prestes and scribes and be kylled and after thre dayes aryse agayne.

³² And he spake that sayinge openly. And Peter toke him asyde and began to chyde him.

³³ Then he tourned aboute and looked on his disciples and rebuked Peter sayinge: Goo after me Satan. For thou saverest not the thinges of God but the thinges of men.

³⁴ And he called the people vnto him with his disciples also and sayd vnto them: Whosoever will folowe me let him forsake him sylfe and take vp his crosse and folowe me.

³⁵ For whosoever will save his lyfe shall lose it But whosoever shall lose his lyfe for my sake and the gospels the same shall save it.

³⁶ What shall it profet a man yf he shuld wynne all the worlde and loose his awne soule?

³⁷ or els what shall a man geve to redeme his soule agayne?

³⁸ Whosoever therfore shall be asshamed of me and of my wordes amonge this advoutrous and sinfull generacion: of him shall the sonne of man be ashamed when he cometh in the glory of his father with the holy angels.

²¹ He said, “Do you not yet understand?”

²² They came to Bethsaida. The people there brought to him a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.

²³ Jesus took hold of the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”

²⁴ He looked up, and said, “I see men who look like walking trees.”

²⁵ Then he again laid his hands upon his eyes, and the man opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw all things clearly.

²⁶ Jesus sent him away to his home and said, “Do not enter the town.”

²⁷ Jesus went out with his disciples into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do the people say that I am?”

²⁸ They answered him and said, “John the Baptist. Others say, 'Elijah,' and others, 'One of the prophets.'”

³⁰ Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.

³¹ He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and would be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and would be killed, and after three days rise up.

³² He said this clearly. Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

³³ But Jesus turned and looked at his disciples and then he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! You are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of people.”

³⁴ Then he called the crowd and his disciples together, and he said to them, “If anyone wants to follow me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake and for the gospel, will save it.

³⁶ What does it profit a person to gain the whole world and then forfeit his life?

³³ But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.”

³⁴ He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

³⁵ For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it.

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

³⁷ For what will a man give in exchange for his life?

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

²² He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.

²³ He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴ He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”

³⁰ He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.

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

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

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

²⁷ And 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?

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

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

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

³¹ And 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.

³² And 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.

³³ And 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.

³⁴ And 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.

³⁵ For 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.

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

²⁴ and he, having looked up, said, 'I behold men, as I see trees, walking.'

²⁵ Afterwards again he put his hands on his eyes, and made him look up, and he was restored, and discerned all things clearly,
