Mark 8:11-26
\n11 The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, asking him for a sign from heaven, to test him. 12 And he sighed deeply in his spirit and said, \u201cWhy does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.\u201d 13 And he left them, and getting into the boat again, he went across to the other side.
\n14 Now the disciples had forgotten to bring any bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And he cautioned them, saying, \u201cWatch out\u2014beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.\u201d 16 They said to one another, \u201cIt is because we have no bread.\u201d 17 And becoming aware of it, Jesus said to them, \u201cWhy are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes, and fail to see? Do you have ears, and fail to 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?\u201d They said to him, \u201cTwelve.\u201d 20 \u201cAnd the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?\u201d And they said to him, \u201cSeven.\u201d 21 Then he said to them, \u201cDo you not yet understand?\u201d
\n22 They came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had put saliva on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, \u201cCan you see anything?\u201d 24 And the man looked up and said, \u201cI can see people, but they look like trees, walking.\u201d 25 Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. 26 Then he sent him away to his home, saying, \u201cDo not even go into the village.\u201d
