Versi relativi a Mark, 8:

Chapter 8 of the book of Mark begins with the history of the food of the four thousand, where Jesus multiplied seven breads and some fish to feed a crowd of people. Then Jesus and his disciples travel to the region of Bethsaida, where he heals a blind man. Then Jesus asks his disciples, "And you who say I am?" (Mark 8:29). Peter responds that He is the Christ, and Jesus warns them so that they do not tell anyone about Him. Then Jesus teaches about his suffering, death and resurrection. Below are five verses related to the topics covered in St. Mark 8.

Psalm 146:8: "The Lord gives a view to the blind, the Lord raises the slaughtered, the Lord loves the righteous." This verse highlights God's ability to heal blindness, which relates to the history of the blind's healing in Mark 8.

Isaiah 35:5-6: "Then the eyes of the blind shall open and the ears of the deaf shall be open. This verse also refers to the healing of blind, deaf and lame, and illustrates God's ability to perform miracles.

Matthew 16:16: "Simon Peter answered, You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God." This verse is similar to the account of Mark 8:29, where Peter recognizes Jesus as the Messiah.

Luke 9:23: "And he said to all, If anyone wants to come after me, deny himself, take his cross every day and follow me." This verse relates to Jesus' discussion of his own suffering, death, and resurrection in Mark 8:31-33.

Matthew 28:6: "He is not here; he rose, as he said. Come see where he lay." This verse refers to the resurrection of Jesus and reinforces the message that Jesus shared with his disciples in Mark 8:31-33 about his own death and resurrection.
