Mark 8: 1-13

During those days another large crowd gathered.
Since they had nothing to eat,
Jesus called His disciples to Him and said,
"I have compassion for these people;
they have already been with Me three days
and have nothing to eat.
If I send them home hungry,
they will collapse on the way,
because some of them have come a long distance."
His disciples answered,
"But where in this remote place
can anyone get enough bread to feed them?"
"How many loaves to you have?" Jesus asked.
"Seven," they replied.
He told the crowd to sit down on the ground.
When He had taken the seven loaves and given thanks,
He broke them and gave them to His disciples
to set before the people, and they did so.
They had a few small fish as well;
He gave thanks for them also
and told the disciples to distribute them.
The people ate and were satisfied.
Afterward the disciples picked up
seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
About four thousand were present.
And having sent them away,
He got into the boat with His disciples
and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus.
To test Him, they asked Him for a sign from heaven.
He sighed deeply and said,
"Why does this generation ask for a miraculous sign?
I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it."
Then He left them,
got back into the boat
and crossed to the other side.
