Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Mark 7
³⁵ And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly.
³⁶ And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it.
³⁷ They were utterly astonished, saying, "He has done all things well; He makes even the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
Mark 8
¹ In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and *said to them,
² "I feel compassion for the people because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat.
³ If I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance."
⁴ And His disciples answered Him, "Where will anyone be able to find enough bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?"
⁵ And He was asking them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."
⁶ And He *directed the people to sit down on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve to them, and they served them to the people.
⁷ They also had a few small fish; and after He had blessed them, He ordered these to be served as well.
⁸ And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces.
