Mark 8:1-26

1In thoseG1565 daysG2250, 1when there was againG3825 a largeG4183 crowdG3793 and they hadG2192 nothingG3361G5100 to eatG2068, Jesus summonedG4341 His disciplesG3101 and saidG3004 to them, 2“2I feelG4697 compassionG4697 for the 3peopleG3793 becauseG3754 they have remainedG4357 with Me for threeG5140 daysG2250 alreadyG2235 and haveG2192 nothingG3756G5100 to eatG2068. 3And ifG1437 I sendG630 them awayG630 hungryG3523 to their homesG3624, they will faintG1590 on the wayG3598; and someG5100 of them haveG1510 comeG1510 from a greatG3113 distanceG3113.” 4And His disciplesG3101 repliedG611 to Him, “WhereG4159 will anyoneG5100 be ableG1410 to find enough 4breadG740 hereG5602 in this desolateG2047 placeG2047 to satisfyG5526 theseG3778 peopleG3778?” 5And He was askingG2065 them, “HowG4214 manyG4214 loavesG740 do you haveG2192?” And they saidG3004, “SevenG2033.” 6And He directedG3853 the 5peopleG3793 to reclineG377 on the groundG1093; and takingG2983 the sevenG2033 loavesG740, He gaveG2168 thanksG2168 and brokeG2806 them, and started givingG1325 them to His disciplesG3101 to serveG3908, and they servedG3908 them to the 6peopleG3793. 7They alsoG2532 hadG2192 a fewG3641 smallG2485 fishG2485; and 7after He had blessedG2127 them, He toldG3004 the disciples to serveG3908 theseG3778 asG2532 wellG2532. 8And they ateG2068 and were satisfiedG5526; and they pickedG142 upG142 sevenG2033 largeG4711 8basketsG4711 full of whatG4051 wasG4051 leftG4051 overG4051 of the brokenG2801 piecesG2801. 9AboutG5613 fourG5070 thousandG5070 9men were there; and He dismissedG630 them. 10And immediatelyG2117 He gotG1684 intoG1684 the boatG4143 with His disciplesG3101 and cameG2064 to the regionG3313 of 10DalmanuthaG1148.

1111And the PhariseesG5330 cameG1831 outG1831 and beganG757 to argueG4802 with Him, 12demandingG2212 from Him a 13signG4592 from heavenG3772, 14to testG3985 Him. 1215SighingG389 deeplyG389 in His spiritG4151, He saidG3004, “WhyG5101 does thisG3778 generationG1074 demandG2212 a 16signG4592? TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 1718noG1487 19signG4592 will be givenG1325 to thisG3778 generationG1074!” 13And leavingG863 them, He againG3825 embarkedG1684 and wentG565 awayG565 to the otherG4008 sideG4008.

14And the disciples had forgottenG1950 to takeG2983 breadG740, and did not haveG2192 moreG1508 thanG1508 oneG1520 loafG740 in the boatG4143 with them. 15And He was givingG1291 ordersG1291 to them, sayingG3004, “20WatchG3708 outG3708! BewareG991 of the 21leavenG2219 of the PhariseesG5330, and the leavenG2219 of 22HerodG2264.” 16And they began to discussG1260 with oneG240 anotherG240 the fact that they hadG2192 noG3756 breadG740. 17And JesusG2424, awareG1097 of this, saidG3004 to them, “WhyG5101 are you discussingG1260 the fact that you haveG2192 noG3756 breadG740? 23Do you not yetG3768 comprehendG3539 orG3761 understandG4920? Do you still haveG2192 your heartG2588 24hardenedG4456? 1825HavingG2192 eyesG3788, do you not seeG991? And havingG2192 earsG3775, do you not hearG191? And do you not rememberG3421, 19whenG3753 I brokeG2806 26the fiveG4002 loavesG740 for the fiveG4000 thousandG4000, howG4214 manyG4214 27basketsG2894 fullG4134 of brokenG2801 piecesG2801 you pickedG142 upG142?” They saidG3004 to Him, “TwelveG1427.” 20“WhenG3753 I broke 28the sevenG2033 for the fourG5070 thousandG5070, howG4214 manyG4214 largeG4711 29basketsG4711 fullG4138 of brokenG2801 piecesG2801 did you pickG142 upG142?” And they saidG3004 to Him, “SevenG2033.” 21And He was sayingG3004 to them, “30Do you not yetG3768 understandG4920?”

22And they cameG2064 to 31BethsaidaG966. And some people broughtG5342 a manG5185 whoG5185 wasG5185 blindG5185 to 32Jesus and beggedG3870 Him to 33touchG681 him. 23TakingG1949 the manG5185 whoG5185 wasG5185 blindG5185 by the handG5495, He 34broughtG1627 him outG1627 of the villageG2968; and after 35spittingG4429 in his eyesG3659 and 36layingG2007 His handsG5495 onG2007 him, He askedG1905 him, “Do you seeG991 anythingG5100?” 24And he 37lookedG308 upG308 and saidG3004, “I seeG991 peopleG444, for I seeG3708 them likeG5613 treesG1186, walkingG4043 aroundG4043.” 25ThenG1534 againG3825 He laidG2007 His handsG5495 on his eyesG3788; and he lookedG1227 intentlyG1227 and was restoredG600, and began to seeG1227 everythingG537 clearlyG5081. 26And He sentG649 him to his homeG3624, sayingG3004, “Do not evenG3366 enterG1525 38the villageG2968.”
