Mark 8:7-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

7. And they had a few small fish, and after giving thanks for them, he said to set these before them also.

8. And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces that were left, seven baskets full.

9. Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.

10. And immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.

11. And the Pharisees came and began to argue with him, demanding from him a sign from heaven in order to test him.

12. And sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation!”

13. And he left them, got into the boat again, and went to the other side.

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

15. And he ordered them, saying, “Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod!”

16. And they began to discuss with one another that they had no bread.
