18. Do you have eyes and not see, ears and not hear? And do you not remember,
19. when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many wicker baskets full of fragments you picked up?” They answered him, “Twelve.”
20. “When I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many full baskets of fragments did you pick up?” They answered [him], “Seven.”
21. He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”
22. When they arrived at Bethsaida, they brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him.
23. He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. Putting spittle on his eyes he laid his hands on him and asked, “Do you see anything?”
24. Looking up he replied, “I see people looking like trees and walking.”
25. Then he laid hands on his eyes a second time and he saw clearly; his sight was restored and he could see everything distinctly.
26. Then he sent him home and said, “Do not even go into the village.”
27. Now Jesus and his disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”
28. They said in reply, “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.”
29. And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to him in reply, “You are the Messiah.”
30. Then he warned them not to tell anyone about him.
