children's bread and throw it to the dogs." 27 "Yes, Lord," she said, "yet
even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table." 28 Then
Jesus answered her, "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as
you desire." And her daughter was healed from that very hour. 29 And
Jesus went on from there and passed along the Sea of Galilee. And he
went up on the mountain, and sat down there. 30 Then great crowds came
to him, bringing with them the lame, the maimed, the blind, the mute, and
many others; and they laid them down at his feet, and he healed them. 31
So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the maimed
made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified
the God of Israel.
32 Now Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have
compassion on the multitude, because they have been with me three days
and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest
they faint on the way." 33 Then his disciples said to him, "Where could
we get enough bread in the wilderness to feed such a great crowd?" 34
And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said,
"Seven, and a few small fish." 35 He told the crowd to sit down on the
ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given
thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples
gave them to the crowds. 37 And they all ate and were satisfied; and they
took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over. 38
Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 And he sent away the crowds, got into the boat, and went to the region
of Magadan.

1 Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and to test him they
asked him to show them a sign from heaven. 2 He answered them, "When
it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather; for the sky is red.' 3 And in
the morning, 'It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening.'
You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot
interpret the signs of the times. 4 A wicked and adulterous generation
seeks for a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah."
So he left them and departed.
5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten
to take bread. 6 Then Jesus said to them, "Take heed and beware of the
leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees." 7 And they discussed among
themselves, saying, "It is because we have taken no bread." 8 But Jesus,
aware of this, said, "O men of little faith, why do you discuss among
yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9 Do you not yet perceive? Do
you not remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many
baskets you gathered? 10 Or the seven loaves of the four thousand, and
how many baskets you gathered? 11 How is it that you do not understand
that I did not speak to you about bread? But beware of the leaven of the
