Mark 8:17-31 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

17. And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?

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

19. when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?" They said to Him, "Twelve."

20. "When I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?" And they said to Him, "Seven."

21. And He was saying to them, "Do you not yet understand?"

22. And they came to Bethsaida. And they brought a blind man to Jesus and implored Him to touch him.

23. Taking the blind man by the hand, He brought him out of the village; and after spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, "Do you see anything?"

24. And he looked up and said, "I see men, for I see them like trees, walking around."

25. Then again He laid His hands on his eyes; and he looked intently and was restored, and began to see everything clearly.

26. And He sent him to his home, saying, "Do not even enter the village."

27. Jesus went out, along with His disciples, to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, "Who do people say that I am?"

28. They told Him, saying, "John the Baptist; and others say Elijah; but others, one of the prophets."

29. And He continued by questioning them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered and said to Him, "You are the Christ."

30. And He warned them to tell no one about Him.

31. And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.
