Mark 8:1-13
[1]In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,
[2]I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;
[3]If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.
[4]And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?
[5]And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.
[6]And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.
[7]And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.
[8]And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.
[9]And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away.
[10]And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.
[11]And the Pharisees came out and put questions to him, requesting from him a sign from heaven, testing him.
[12]And he was very sad in spirit, and said, Why is this generation looking for a sign? truly, I say to you, No sign will be given to this generation.
[13]And he went away from them, and again got into the boat and went across to the other side.
