mnt - Mark:8:1-21

mnt@Mark:8:1 @ In those days when a large crowd had again assembled and had nothing to eat, Jesus called together his disciples and said to them.

mnt@Mark:8:2 @ "My heart aches for the crowd, because they have remained with me three days now, and they have nothing to eat;

mnt@Mark:8:3 @ and if I send them away fasting to their homes, they will faint on the way. Moreover, some of them are from a distance."

mnt@Mark:8:4 @ "Where will it be possible," answered his disciples, "for one to fill these men with bread in a lonely place like this?"

mnt@Mark:8:5 @ He asked them, "How many loaves have you?" "Seven," they said.

mnt@Mark:8:6 @ So he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground; and when he had taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave to his disciples to distribute to the crowd.

mnt@Mark:8:7 @ They had also a few small fish; after blessing these he told his disciples to distribute them also.

mnt@Mark:8:8 @ They ate and were filled and they took up of broken pieces that were left, seven hampers.

mnt@Mark:8:9 @ They that had eaten were about four thousand.

mnt@Mark:8:10 @ Then he sent them away, got at once into the boat with his disciples. and came into the district of Dalmanutha.

mnt@Mark:8:11 @ And the Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven, by way of testing him.

mnt@Mark:8:12 @ At this Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit, and said. "Why does the present generation seek a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign shall be given this generation."

mnt@Mark:8:13 @ Then he left them, and getting into the boat again, went away to the other side,

mnt@Mark:8:14 @ Now they had forgotten to take bread, and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.

mnt@Mark:8:15 @ So he gave them this warning. "Look out! Be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod."

mnt@Mark:8:16 @ And they began arguing with one another because they had no bread, He noted this and said to them.

mnt@Mark:8:17 @ "Why are you arguing together because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive and understand?

mnt@Mark:8:18 @ Are your minds so slow to comprehend? You have eyes, do you not see? You have ears, do you not hear?

mnt@Mark:8:19 @ Do you not remember? When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets of broken pieces did you take up?" "Twelve," they said.

mnt@Mark:8:20 @ "And when the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of fragments did you pick up?"

mnt@Mark:8:21 @ "Do you not yet understand?" he said.
