14. The followers had only one loaf of bread with them in the boat. They had forgotten to bring more bread.
15. Jesus warned them, “Be careful! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.”
16. Among themselves, his disciples discussed the meaning of this. They said, “He said this because we have no bread.”
17. Jesus knew what his followers were talking about. So he asked them, “Why are you talking about having no bread? You still don’t see or understand? Are your minds closed?
18. You have eyes, but you don’t really see. You have ears, but you don’t really listen. Remember what I did before, when we did not have enough bread?
19. I divided five loaves of bread for 5,000 people. Remember how many baskets you filled with pieces of food that were not eaten?”They answered, “We filled 12 baskets.”
20. “And remember that I divided seven loaves of bread for 4,000 people. Remember how many baskets you filled with pieces of food that were not eaten?”They answered, “We filled 7 baskets.”
21. Then Jesus said to them, “You remember these things I did, but you still don’t understand?”
22. Jesus and his followers came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to Jesus and begged him to touch the man.
23. So Jesus took the blind man’s hand and led him out of the village. Then he spit on the man’s eyes. He put his hands on the blind man and asked, “Can you see now?”
24. The man looked up and said, “Yes, I see people, but they look like trees walking around.”
25. Again Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then the man opened his eyes wide. His eyes were healed, and he was able to see everything clearly.
26. Jesus told him to go home, saying, “Don’t go into the town.”
