Mark 8:5-17

⁵And he was questioning them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven.'

⁶And 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.

⁷And they had a few small fishes, and having blessed, he said to set them also before them;

⁸and they did eat and were filled, and they took up that which was over of broken pieces — seven baskets;

⁹and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

¹⁰and immediately having entered into the boat with his disciples, he came to the parts of Dalmanutha,

¹¹and the Pharisees came forth, and began to dispute with him, seeking from him a sign from the heaven, tempting him;

¹²and 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.'

¹³And having left them, having entered again into the boat, he went away to the other side;

¹⁴and they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat,

¹⁵and he was charging them, saying, 'Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod,'

¹⁶and they were reasoning with one another, saying — 'Because we have no loaves.'

¹⁷And 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?
