Mark 8:12-33

¹²And sighing deeply in his spirit, he saith, Why doth this generation seek for a sign? Truly do I say to you, A sign will not he given to this generation.

¹³And leaving them, he again went on board and crossed to the other side.

¹⁴And they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.

¹⁵And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod.

¹⁶And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

¹⁷And knowing it, he saith to them, Why are ye reasoning, because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your mind still blinded?

¹⁸Having eyes, do ye not see? and having ears, do ye not hear? And do ye not remember,

¹⁹when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up? They say to him, Twelve.

²⁰When also the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up? And they say, Seven.

²¹And he said to them, Do ye not yet understand?

²²And they come to Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.

²³And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him out of the village; and spitting on his eyes, and putting his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.

²⁴And he looked up, and said, I can see men, for I see them as trees, walking.

²⁵Then he again put his hands on his eyes, and he saw clearly, and was restored, and saw all things distinctly.

²⁶And he sent him away to his house, saying, Go not into the village.

²⁷And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way he asked his disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am?

²⁸And they answered him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and others, One of the prophets.

²⁹And he asked them, But who do ye say that I am? Peter answering saith to him, Thou art the Christ.

³⁰And he strictly charged them to tell no one concerning him.

³¹And he began to teach them that the Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days rise again;

³²and he told them this plainly. And Peter, taking him aside, began to rebuke him.

³³But he turning about and looking at his disciples, rebuked Peter, and saith, Get thee behind me, Satan! for thy thoughts are not on the things of God, but on those of men.
