MODERN LITERAL VERSION

8:1 The crowd was enormous in those days, and they do not have anything to eat. Jesus having called to him his disciples, says to them,

8:2 I have compassion upon the crowd, because they already remain with me for three days and do not have anything in which they might eat.

8:13 And he left them and again stepping onto a ship, went away to the other side.

8:36 For* what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and might forfeit his soul?

8:37 Or what shall a man give as an exchange for his life?

8:38 For* whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him, whenever he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy messengers.
