Mark 8:13-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

13. And sending them away, he climbed into the boat again, and he went away across the sea.

14. And they forgot to take bread. And they did not have any with them in the boat, except one loaf.

15. And he instructed them, saying: "Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod."

16. And they discussed this with one another, saying, "For we have no bread."

17. And Jesus, knowing this, said to them: "Why do you consider that it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet know or understand? Do you still have blindness in your heart?

18. Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember,

19. when I broke the five loves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments you took up?" They said to him, "Twelve."

20. "And when the seven loaves were among the four thousand, how many baskets of fragments did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven."

21. And he said to them, "How is it that you do not yet understand?"

22. And they went to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to him. And they petitioned him, so that he would touch him.

23. And taking the blind man by the hand, he led him beyond the village. And putting spit on his eyes, laying his hands on him, he asked him if he could see anything.

24. And looking up, he said, "I see men but they are like walking trees."

25. Next he placed his hands again over his eyes, and he began to see. And he was restored, so that he could see everything clearly.

26. And he sent him to his house, saying, "Go into your own house, and if you enter into the town, tell no one."

27. And Jesus departed with his disciples into the towns of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way, he questioned his disciples, saying to them, "Who do men say that I am?"

28. And they answered him by saying: "John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others perhaps one of the prophets."
