Chapter 8 of Mark—King James Version (KJV)

  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.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
