Mark 8:19-29 Amplified Bible (AMP)

19. When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many [small hand] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? They said to Him, Twelve.

20. And [when I broke] the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many [large provision] baskets full of broken pieces did you take up? And they said to Him, Seven.

21. And He kept repeating, Do you not yet understand?

22. And they came to Bethsaida. And [people] brought to Him a blind man and begged Him to touch him.

23. And He caught the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands upon him, He asked him, Do you [possibly] see anything?

24. And he looked up and said, I see people, but [they look] like trees, walking.

25. Then He put His hands on his eyes again; and the man looked intently [that is, fixed his eyes on definite objects], and he was restored and saw everything distinctly [even what was at a distance].

26. And He sent him away to his house, telling [him], Do not [even] enter the village or tell anyone there.

27. And Jesus went on with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He asked His disciples, Who do people say that I am?

28. And they answered [Him], John the Baptist; and others [say], Elijah; but others, one of the prophets.

29. And He asked them, But who do you yourselves say that I am? Peter replied to Him, You are the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
