Mark 8:1-21

Mark 8:1-21 YLT98

In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them, ‘I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.’ And his disciples answered him, ‘Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?’ And he was questioning them, ‘How many loaves have ye?’ and they said, ‘Seven.’ And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before [them]; and they did set before the multitude. And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before [them]; and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces — seven baskets; and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away, and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha, and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him; and having sighed deeply in his spirit, he saith, ‘Why doth this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.’ And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side; and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat, and he was charging them, saying, ‘Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,’ and they were reasoning with one another, saying — ‘Because we have no loaves.’ And Jesus having known, saith to them, ‘Why do ye reason, because ye have no loaves? do ye not yet perceive, nor understand, yet have ye your heart hardened? Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? and do ye not remember? When the five loaves I did brake to the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?’ they say to him, ‘Twelve.’ ‘And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?’ and they said, ‘Seven.’ And he said to them, ‘How do ye not understand?’
