Mark 8:10-26

10He immediatelyG2112 gotG1684 intoG1519 theG3588 boatG4143 withG3326 HisG846 disciplesG3101 and wentG2064 toG1519 theG3588 districtG3313 of DalmanuthaG1148.

11ThenG2532 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 cameG1831 andG2532 beganG756 to argue withG4802 Jesus, testingG3985 HimG846 by demandingG2212 fromG3844 HimG846 a signG4592 fromG575 heavenG3772.

12

Jesus sighed deeplyG389 inG3588 HisG846 spiritG4151 and saidG3004, “WhyG5101 does thisG3778 generationG1074 demandG2212 a signG4592? TrulyG281 I tellG3004 youG4771, noG1487 signG4592 will be givenG1325 to thisG3778 generationG1074.” 13AndG2532 He leftG863 themG846, got back into the boatG1684G3825, and crossedG565 toG1519 theG3588 other sideG4008.

14NowG2532 the disciples had forgottenG1950 to takeG2983 breadG740, except forG1487G3361 oneG1520 loafG740 they hadG2192 withG3326 themG1438 inG1722 theG3588 boatG4143. 15“Watch outG3708!” He cautionedG1291 themG846. “BewareG991 ofG575 theG3588 leavenG2219 of theG3588 PhariseesG5330 andG2532 of HerodG2264.”

16So they began to discussG1260 withG4314 one anotherG240 the fact thatG3754 they hadG2192 noG3756 breadG740.

17Aware ofG2532G1097 their conversation, Jesus askedG3004 themG846, “WhyG5101 are you debatingG1260 aboutG3754 havingG2192 noG3756 breadG740? Do you still not seeG3768G3539 orG3761 understandG4920? Do you haveG2192G4771 such hardG4456 heartsG2588? 18‘HavingG2192 eyesG3788, do you not seeG3756G991? AndG2532 havingG2192 earsG3775, do you not hearG3756G191?’1 AndG2532 do you not rememberG3756G3421? 19WhenG3753 I brokeG2806 theG3588 fiveG4002 loavesG740 forG1519 theG3588 five thousandG4000, how manyG4214 basketfulsG2894G4134 of broken piecesG2801 did you collectG142?”

“TwelveG1427,” they answeredG3004.

20“AndG2532 whenG3753 I broke theG3588 sevenG2033 loaves forG1519 theG3588 four thousandG5070, how manyG4214 basketfulsG4711G4138 of broken piecesG2801 did you collectG142?”

“SevenG2033,” theyG846 saidG3004.

21ThenG2532 He askedG2036 themG846, “Do you still not understandG3768G4920?”

22When they arrivedG2064 atG1519 BethsaidaG966, some people broughtG5342 a blindG5185 man andG2532 beggedG3870 Jesus toG2443 touchG680 himG846. 23SoG2532 He tookG1949 theG3588 blindG5185 man by theG3588 handG5495 and led himG1627 outG1854 of theG3588 villageG2968. ThenG2532 He spitG4429 onG1519 the man’s eyesG3659 and placedG2007 His handsG5495 on himG846. “Can you seeG1487G991 anythingG5100?” He askedG1905.

24

The man looked upG308 and saidG2036, “I can seeG991 theG3588 peopleG444, but they lookG3708 likeG5613 treesG1186 walking aroundG4043.”

25Once againG1534G3825 Jesus placedG2007 His handsG5495 onG1909 the man’s eyesG3788, and whenG2532 he opened themG1227 his sight was restoredG600, andG2532 he could seeG1689 everythingG537 clearlyG5081. 26Jesus sentG649 himG846 homeG1519G846G3624 and saidG3004, “Do not go backG3366G1525 intoG1519 theG3588 villageG2968.”2
