Mark 8:2²“I have compassion on the crowd, because they have already been here with me three days, and they have nothing to eat.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:3³If I send them home hungry, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come from a great distance.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:4⁴His disciples answered him, “Where can someone get enough bread in this desolate place to satisfy these people?”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:5⁵He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They replied, “Seven.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:10¹⁰Immediately he got into a boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:11¹¹Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, asking for a sign from heaven to test him.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:12¹²Sighing deeply in his spirit he said, “Why does this generation look for a sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to this generation.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:13¹³Then he left them, got back into the boat, and went to the other side.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:14¹⁴Now they had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:15¹⁵And Jesus ordered them, “Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:16¹⁶So they began to discuss with one another about having no bread.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:17¹⁷When he learned of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you arguing about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Have your hearts been hardened?Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:18¹⁸Though you have eyes, don’t you see? And though you have ears, can’t you hear? Don’t you remember?Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:20²⁰“When I broke the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?” They replied, “Seven.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:22²²Then they came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to Jesus and asked him to touch him.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:23²³He took the blind man by the hand and brought him outside of the village. Then he spit on his eyes, placed his hands on his eyes and asked, “Do you see anything?”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:24²⁴Regaining his sight he said, “I see people, but they look like trees walking.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:25²⁵Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again. And he opened his eyes, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:26²⁶Jesus sent him home, saying, “Do not even go into the village.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:27²⁷Then Jesus and his disciples went to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. On the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:28²⁸They said, “John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and still others, one of the prophets.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:29²⁹He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:30³⁰Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:31³¹Then Jesus began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and experts in the law, and be killed, and after three days rise again.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:32³²He spoke openly about this. So Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:33³³But after turning and looking at his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan. You are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but on man’s.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:34³⁴Then Jesus called the crowd, along with his disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:35³⁵For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me and because of the gospel will save it.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:36³⁶For what benefit is it for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his life?Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:37³⁷What can a person give in exchange for his life?Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s

Mark 8:38³⁸For if anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.”Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’s
