9. There were about four thousand who had eaten, and He sent them away.
10. He immediately entered a boat with His disciples and came to the region of Dalmanutha.
11. The Pharisees came up and began to debate with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven to test Him.
12. He sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation look for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.”
13. Then He left them and, entering the boat again, departed to the other side.
14. Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread and did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.
15. He warned them, “Take heed. Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16. They reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”
17. Being aware of it, Jesus said to them, “Why do you reason that you have no bread? Do you still not perceive or understand? Are your hearts still hardened?
18. Having eyes, do you not see? Having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
19. When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?”They said to Him, “Twelve.”
20. “And the seven among the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?”They said, “Seven.”
21. He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”
22. He came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Him and entreated Him to touch him.
23. He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. When He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24. He looked up and said, “I see men as trees, walking.”
25. Then again He put His hands on his eyes and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly.
26. He sent him home away to his house, saying, “Neither go into the town, nor tell it to anyone in the town.”
27. Jesus and His disciples went out into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. On the way He asked His disciples, “Who do men say that I am?”
