Mark 8:12-20
8:12 Sighing deeply in his spirit he said, “Why does this generation look for a sign? I tell you the truth,
no sign will be given to this generation.”
8:13 Then
he left them, got back into the boat, and went to the other side.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod
8:14 Now they had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
8:15 And Jesus ordered them, “Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
8:16 So they began to discuss with one another about having no bread.
8:17 When he learned of this, Jesus said to them, “Why are you arguing about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Have your hearts been hardened?
8:18 Though you have eyes, don’t you see? And though you have ears, can’t you hear? Don’t you remember?
8:19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?” They replied, “Twelve.”
8:20 “When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of pieces did you pick up?” They replied, “Seven.”
