Mark 8:18-28 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

18. Do you have eyes, and not see, and do you have ears, and not hear? And do you not remember?

19. When I broke the five loaves for the 5,000, how many baskets full of pieces of bread did you collect? ”“Twelve,” they told Him.

20. “When I broke the seven loaves for the 4,000, how many large baskets full of pieces of bread did you collect? ”“Seven,” they said.

21. And He said to them, “Don’t you understand yet? ”

22. Then they came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to Him and begged Him to touch him.

23. He took the blind man by the hand and brought him out of the village. Spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything? ”

24. He looked up and said, “I see people — they look to me like trees walking.”

25. Again Jesus placed His hands on the man’s eyes, and he saw distinctly. He was cured and could see everything clearly.

26. Then He sent him home, saying, “Don’t even go into the village.”

27. Jesus went out with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am? ”

28. They answered Him, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, one of the prophets.”
