^11 (A)The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, ^(B)seeking from Him a ^[a]sign from heaven, ^[b]to test Him. ^12 (C)Sighing deeply ^[c]in His spirit, He *said, “Why does this generation seek for a ^[d]sign? Truly I say to you, ^[e](D)no ^[f]sign will be given to this generation.” ¹³ Leaving them, He again embarked and went away to the other side.

¹⁴ And they had forgotten to take bread, and did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them. ¹⁵ And He was giving orders to them, saying, “^(E)Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of ^(F)Herod.” ¹⁶ They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread. ¹⁷ And Jesus, aware of this, *said to them, “Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? ^(G)Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a ^[g]hardened heart? ^18 (H)Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember, ¹⁹ when I broke ^(I)the five loaves for the five thousand, how many ^(J)baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?” They *said to Him, “Twelve.” ²⁰ “When I broke ^(K)the seven for the four thousand, how many large ^(L)baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?” And they *said to Him, “Seven.” ²¹ And He was saying to them, “^(M)Do you not yet understand?”

²² And they *came to ^(N)Bethsaida. And they *brought a blind man to Jesus and *implored Him to ^(O)touch him. ²³ Taking the blind man by the hand, He ^(P)brought him out of the village; and after ^(Q)spitting on his eyes and ^(R)laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?” ²⁴ And he ^[h]looked up and said, “I see men, for ^[i]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 ^(S)the village.”
