Mark 8
1 In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Yeshua called his disciples to himself and said to them,
In tho daies eft, whanne myche puple was with Jhesu, and hadden not what thei schulden ete, whanne hise disciplis weren clepid togidir,
2 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat.
he seide to hem, I haue reuth on the puple, for lo! now the thridde dai thei abiden me, and han not what to ete;
3 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.”
and if Y leeue hem fastynge in to her hous, thei schulen faile in the weie; for summe of hem camen fro fer.
4 His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?”
And hise disciplis answerden to hym, Wherof schal a man mowe fille hem with looues here in wildirnesse?
5 He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”
And he axide hem, Hou many looues han ye?
6 He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude.
Whiche seiden, Seuene. And he comaundide the puple to sitte doun on the erthe. And he took the seuene looues, and dide thankyngis, and brak, and yaf to hise disciplis, that thei schulden sette forth. And thei settiden forth to the puple.
7 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
And thei hadden a few smale fischis; and he blesside hem, and comaundide, that thei weren sette forth.
8 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
And thei eten, and weren fulfillid; and thei token vp that that lefte of relifs, seuene lepis.
9 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
And thei that eeten, weren as foure thousynde of men; and he lefte hem.
10 Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha.
And anoon he wente vp in to a boot, with hise disciplis, and cam in to the coostis of Dalmamytha.
11 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him.
And the Farisees wenten out, and bigunnen to dispuyte with hym, and axiden a tokne of hym fro heuene, and temptiden hym.
12 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
And he sorewynge `with ynne in spirit, seide, What sekith this generacioun a tokne? Treuli Y seie to you, a tokene schal not be youun to this generacioun.
13 He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side.
And he lefte hem, and wente vp eftsoone in to a boot, and wente ouer the see.
14 They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them.
And thei foryaten to take breed, and thei hadden not with hem but o loof in the boot.
15 He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
And he comaundide hem, and seide, Se ye, and `be war of the sowre dowy of Farisees, and of the sowrdowy of Eroude.
16 They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.”
And thei thouyten, and seiden oon to anothir, For we han not looues.
17 Yeshua, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened?
And whanne this thing was knowun, Jhesus seide to hem, What thenken ye, for ye han not looues? Yit ye knowun not, ne vndurstonden; yit ye han youre herte blyndid.
18 Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
Ye hauynge iyen, seen not, and ye hauynge eeris, heren not; nethir ye han mynde,
19 When I broke the five loaves amongst the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Twelve.”
whanne Y brak fyue looues among fyue thousynde, and hou many cofynes ful of brokun meete `ye tokun vp? Thei seien to hym, Twelue.
20 “When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” They told him, “Seven.”
Whanne also seuene looues among foure thousynde of men, hou many lepis of brokun mete tokun ye vp?
21 He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?”
And thei seien to hym, Seuene. And he seide to hem, Hou vndurstonden ye not yit?
22 He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him.
And thei camen to Bethsaida, and thei bryngen to hym a blynde man, and thei preieden hym, that he schulde touche hym.
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.
And whanne he hadde take the blynde mannus hoond, he ledde hym out of the street, and spete in to hise iyen, and sette hise hoondis on hym; and he axide hym, if he saye ony thing.
24 He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.”
And he bihelde, and seide, Y se men as trees walkynge.
25 Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly.
Aftirward eftsoones he sette hise hondis on hise iyen, and he bigan to see, and he was restorid, so that he saiy cleerli alle thingis.
26 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.”
And he sente hym in to his hous, and seide, Go in to thin hous; and if thou goist in to the streete, seie to no man.
27 Yeshua 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?”
And Jhesus entride and hise disciplis in to the castels of Cesarye of Philip. And in the weie he axide hise disciplis, and seide to hem, Whom seien men that Y am?
28 They told him, “Yochanan the Immerser, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.”
Whiche answeriden to hym, and seiden, Summen seien, Joon Baptist; other seien, Heli; and other seien, as oon of the prophetis.
29 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Messiah.”
Thanne he seith to hem, But whom seien ye that Y am? Petre answeride, and seide to hym, Thou art Crist.
30 He commanded them that they should tell no one about him.
And he chargide hem, that thei schulden not seie of hym to ony man.
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.
And he bigan to teche hem, that it bihoueth mannus sone to suffre many thingis, and to be repreued of the elder men, and of the hiyest prestis, and the scribis, and to be slayn, and aftir thre dayes, to rise ayen.
32 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him.
And he spak pleynli the word. And Peter took hym, and bigan to blame hym, and seide, Lord, be thou merciful to thee, for this schal not be.
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.”
And he turnede, and saiy hise disciplis, and manasside Petir, and seide, Go after me, Satanas; for thou sauerist not tho thingis that ben of God, but tho thingis that ben 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.
And whanne the puple was clepid togidere, with hise disciplis, he seide to hem, If ony man wole come after me, denye he hym silf, and take his cros, and sue he 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.
For he that wole make saaf his lijf, schal leese it; and he that leesith his lijf for me, and for the gospel, schal make it saaf.
36 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
For what profitith it to a man, if he wynne al the world, and do peiryng to his soule?
37 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
or what chaunging schal a man yyue for his soule?
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.”
But who that knoulechith me and my wordis in this generacioun avowtresse and synful, also mannus sone schal knouleche him, whanne he schal come in the glorie of his fadir, with his aungels.
