Mark 8

¹In those dayes, when there was a very great multitude, and had nothing to eate, Iesus called his disciples to him, and said vnto them,

²I haue compassion on the multitude, because they haue nowe continued with mee three dayes, and haue nothing to eate.

³And if I sende them away fasting to their owne houses, they woulde faint by the way: for some of them came from farre.

⁴Then his disciples answered him, Whence can a man satisfie these with bread here in the wildernes?

⁵And hee asked them, Howe many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen.

⁶Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grounde: and hee tooke the seuen loaues, and gaue thankes, brake them, and gaue to his disciples to set before them, and they did set them before the people.

⁷They had also a few small fishes: and when he had giuen thankes, he commanded them also to be set before them.

⁸So they did eate, and were sufficed, and they tooke vp of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets full.

⁹(And they that had eaten, were about foure thousand) so he sent them away.

¹⁰And anon he entred into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

¹¹And the Pharises came foorth, and began to dispute with him, seeking of him a signe from heauen, and tempting him.

¹²Then hee sighed deepely in his spirit, and saide, Why doeth this generation seeke a signe? Verely I say vnto you, a signe shall not be giuen vnto this generation.
