Mark Chapter 8 Verse 8So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets.

And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published [it];

And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and saith unto them,

‹I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:›

‹And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.›

And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?

And he asked them, ‹How many loaves have ye?› And they said, Seven.

And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they did set [them] before the people.

And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].

And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, ‹Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.›

And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

Now [the disciples] had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

And he charged them, saying, ‹Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and› [of] ‹the leaven of Herod.›

And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have no bread.

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?›
