Part 11

41:007:031 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis.

41:007:032 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him.

41:007:033 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

41:007:034 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

41:007:035 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain.

41:007:036 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;

41:007:037 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

41:008:001 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

41:008:002 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

41:008:003 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

41:008:004 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

41:008:005 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

41:008:006 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

41:008:007 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

41:008:008 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

41:008:009 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

41:008:010 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

41:008:011 And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

41:008:012 And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.

41:008:013 And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

41:008:014 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

41:008:015 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

41:008:016 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

41:008:017 And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

41:008:018 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

41:008:019 When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

41:008:020 And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

41:008:021 And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?
