Mark 8:1-26

Mark 8:1-26

[1] In  those  days  the multitude  and  having  nothing  to eat,  called  his  disciples  unto him, and saith  unto them,  [2] I have compassion  on  the multitude,  because  now  been  three  days,  and  have  nothing  to eat:  [3] And  if  them  away  fasting  to  their own  houses,  they will faint  by  the way:  divers  of them  came  from far.  [4] And  his  disciples  answered  him,  From whence  can  a man  satisfy  men with bread  here  in  the wilderness?  [5] And  them,  How many  loaves  have ye?  And  they said,  Seven.  [6] 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.  [7] And  they had  a few  small fishes:  and  he blessed,  and commanded  them  also  before  [8] they did eat,  and  were filled:  and  they took up  of the broken  meat that was left  seven  baskets.  [9] And  about  four thousand:  and  them  away.  [10] And  straightway  he entered  into  a ship  with  his  disciples,  and came  into  the parts  of Dalmanutha.  [11] And  the Pharisees  came forth,  and  began  to question  with him,  seeking  of  him  a sign  from  heaven,  tempting  him.  [12] And  he sighed deeply  in his  spirit,  and saith,  Why  this  generation  a sign?  verily  I say  There shall no  sign  be given  generation.  [13] And  he left  them,  and entering  into  again  departed  to  the other side.  [14] Now  the disciples had forgotten  to take  bread,  neither  had  they in  the ship  with  them  one  loaf.  [15] And  he charged  them,  saying,  Take heed,  beware  of  the leaven  of the Pharisees,  and  of the leaven  of Herod.  [16] And  they reasoned  among  themselves,  It is because  we have  no  bread.  [17] And  knew  it, he saith  unto them,  Why  reason ye,  because  ye have  no  bread?  perceive ye  not yet,  neither  understand?  have ye  heart  hardened?  [18] Having  eyes,  see ye  not?  and  having  ears,  hear ye  not?  and  not  remember?  [19] When  I brake  the five  loaves  among  five thousand,  how many  baskets  full  of fragments  took ye up?  They say  unto him,  Twelve.  [20] when  the seven  among  four thousand,  how many  baskets  full  of fragments  took ye up?  Seven.  [21] And  unto them,  understand?  [22] And  he cometh  to  Bethsaida;  and  they bring  a blind man  unto him,  and  besought  him  to  touch  him.  [23] And  he took  the blind man  by the hand,  him  out of  the town;  and  when he had spit  on  his  eyes,  and put  his hands  upon him,  he asked  him  he saw  [24] And  he looked up,  I see  men  as  trees,  walking.  [25] After  that he put  his hands  again  upon  his  eyes,  and  him  and  he was restored,  and  saw  every man  clearly.  [26] And  him  away  to  his  house,  saying,  Neither  go  into  the town,  nor  tell  in  the town.
