Mark 8:19-38 ▼

19 When I brake fyue loaues among fyue thousande men, howe many baskettes full of broken meate toke ye vp? They say vnto hym, twelue.

20 When I brake seuen among foure thousande, howe many baskettes of the leauynges of the broken meate toke ye vp? They sayde, seuen.

21 And he sayde vnto them: Howe happeneth it, that ye do not vnderstande?

22 And he came to Bethsaida, & they brought a blynde man vnto hym, and desired hym to touche hym.

23 And he caught the blinde by the hand, and led him out of the towne: and whe he had spyt in his eyes, & put his handes vpon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

24 And he loked vp, & saide, I see men: for I perceiue the walke as they were trees.

25 After that, he put his handes agayne vpon his eyes, & made hym see: And he was restored, & saw euery man clearely.

26 And he sent hym home to his house, saying: neither go into the towne, nor tell it to any in the towne.

27 And Iesus went out, & his disciples, into the townes that long to Cesarea Philippi: And by the way he asked his disciples, saying vnto them: Whom do men say that I am?

28 And they aunswered: Some saye that thou art Iohn Baptist, and some saye, Elias: Agayne, some saye that thou art one of the prophetes.

29 And he sayde vnto them: But whom say ye that I am? Peter aunswereth, & saith vnto him: Thou art very Christe.

30 And he charged them, that they should tell no man of hym.

31 And he began to teache them, howe that the sonne of man must suffer many thynges, & be reproued of the elders, and of the hie priestes, & scribes, and be killed, and after three dayes, aryse agayne.

32 And he spake that saying openly: And Peter toke hym asyde, and began to rebuke hym.

33 But he turned about, and loked on his disciples, and rebuked Peter, saying, go after me Sata: for thou sauerest not the thinges that be of God, but the thinges that be of men.

34 And when he had called the people vnto hym, with his disciples also, he said vnto them: Whosoeuer wyll folow me, let hym forsake hym selfe, and take vp his crosse, and folowe me.

35 For whosoeuer wyll saue his life, shall lose it: But whosoeuer shall lose his life, for my sake & the Gospels, the same shall saue it.

36 For what shall it profite a man, yf he wynne all the worlde, and lose his owne soule?

37 Or what shall a man geue, for a raunsome of his soule?

38 Whosoeuer therfore shalbe ashamed of me, and of my wordes, in this adulterous and synnefull generation: of hym also shall the sonne of man be ashamed, when he commeth in the glorie of his father, with the holy Angels.
