Mark 8:6-16

⁶So He told the crowd to sit down on the ground; then taking the seven loaves and giving thanks, He broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before the crowd, and they did.

⁷They also had a few small fish; so blessing them He said to distribute them as well.

⁸Well they ate and were filled; they even took up seven hampers of broken pieces that were left over.

⁹Now those who had eaten were about four thousand; and He sent them away.

¹⁰Then He got right into the boat with His disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.

¹¹The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, requesting of Him a sign from heaven, by way of testing Him.

¹²But He sighed deeply in His spirit and said: “Why does this generation seek a sign? I tell you emphatically, no sign shall be given to this generation!”

¹³Turning His back on them, He got back into the boat and went off to the other side.

¹⁴(His disciples had forgotten to take bread; they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.)

¹⁵And He charged them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

¹⁶So they started reasoning among themselves, saying, “It's because we have no bread.”
