A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Mark the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Mark 8 : 10 - 21
Chapter 8
| 10 | immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.
|
| 11 | Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.
|
| 12 | But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."
|
| 13 | And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side.
|
| 14 | Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.
|
| 15 | Then He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."
|
| 16 | And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have no bread."
|
| 17 | But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?
|
| 18 | Having eyes, do you not see? And 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 fragments did you take up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."
|
| 20 | "Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."
|
| 21 | So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"
|
And Glory be to God forever.
