Marqos (Mark) 8:1-21

In those days, the crowd being very great and not having any to eat, יהושע called His taught ones near and said to them, I have compassion on the crowd, for they have now been with Me three days and do not have food to eat. And if I dismiss them unfed to their home, they shall faint on the way, for some of them have come from far. And His taught ones answered Him, “How shall anyone be able to feed these people with bread here in the desert?” And He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” And He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks, He broke them and gave them to His taught ones to set before them. And they set them before the crowd. And they had a few small fishes. And having blessed, He said to set them also before them. And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up seven large baskets of broken pieces. And those eating were about four thousand, and He dismissed them. And immediately entering into the boat with His taught ones, He came to the parts of Dalmanutha. And the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, trying Him. And sighing deeply in His spirit He said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.” And leaving them, again entering into the boat, He went away to the other side. And they had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat. And He was warning them, saying, “Mind! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herodes.” And they were reasoning with one another, saying, “Because we have no bread.” And יהושע, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? “Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets filled with broken pieces did you pick up? They said to Him, “Twelve.” And when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets filled with broken pieces did you pick up? And they said, “Seven.” And He said to them, “How do you not understand?”
