Mark Chapter 8 Verse 27And 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?›

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?›

‹Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?›

‹When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?› They say unto him, Twelve.

‹And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?› And they said, Seven.

And he said unto them, ‹How is it that ye do not understand?›

And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

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.

And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

After that he put [his] hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

And he sent him away to his house, saying, ‹Neither go into the town, nor tell› [it] ‹to any in the town.›

And they answered, John the Baptist: but some [say], Elias; and others, One of the prophets.

And he saith unto them, ‹But whom say ye that I am?› And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ.

And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

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.

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

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.›

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.›

‹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.›

‹For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?›

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