New Testament

Mark 8:8-26 American Standard Version (ASV)

8. And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets.

9. And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

10. And straightway he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

11. And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.

12. And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

13. And he left them, and again entering into the boat departed to the other side.

14. And they forgot to take bread; and they had not in the boat with them more than one loaf.

15. And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.

16. And they reasoned one with another, saying, We have no bread.

17. And Jesus perceiving it saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? do ye not yet perceive, neither understand? have ye your heart hardened?

18. Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

19. When I brake the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

20. And when the seven among the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces took ye up? And they say unto him, Seven.

21. And he said unto them, Do ye not yet understand?

22. And they come unto Bethsaida. And they bring to him a blind man, and beseech him to touch him.

23. And he took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village; and when he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands upon him, he asked him, Seest thou aught?

24. And he looked up, and said, I see men; for I behold them as trees, walking.

25. Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly.

26. And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village.
