¹ In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and said to them, ² “I feel compassion for the^a Lit crowdpeople because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat. ³ If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance.” ⁴ And His disciples answered Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough^b Lit loavesbread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?” ⁵ And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.” ⁶ And He directed the^c Lit crowdpeople to^d Lit reclinesit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to^e Lit set beforeserve to them, and they served them to the^f Lit crowdpeople. ⁷ They also had a few small fish; and after He had blessed them, He ordered these to be^g Lit set before themserved as well. ⁸ And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces. ⁹ About four thousand were there; and He sent them away. ¹⁰ And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha.	1 Mar 8:1-9 Mar 6:34-44 2 Mat 9:36 Mar 6:34 7 Mat 14:19 8 Mat 15:37 Mar 8:20 10 Mat 15:39

Truly I say to you,^l Lit if a sign shall be givenno^m Or attesting miracle*sign will be given to this generation.” ¹³ Leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.	11 Mar 8:11-21 Mat 12:38 12 Mar 7:34 Mat 12:39
¹⁴ And they had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them. ¹⁵ And He was giving orders to them, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” ¹⁶ They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread. ¹⁷ And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have aⁿ Or dull, insensiblehardened heart? ¹⁸ HAVING EYES, DO YOU NOT SEE? AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? And do you not remember, ¹⁹ when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?” They said to Him, “Twelve.” ²⁰ “When I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” And they *said to Him, “Seven.” ²¹ And He was saying to them, “Do you not yet understand?”	15 Mat 16:6 Luk 12:1 Mat 14:1 Mat 22:16 17 Mar 6:52 18 Jer 5:21 Eze 12:2 Mar 4:12 19 Mar 6:41-44 Mat 14:20 20 Mar 8:6-9 Mar 8:8 21 Mar 6:52
