   08/20 - GospeL Verses

11 - The Pharisees came around and began to argue with Jesus. They asked him for a sign, as a test, from heaven. 12 Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit, and said to them, “Why do you seek a sign? Truly, I tell you, no sign will be given to you.” {Except all the healings and miracles, lol.} 13 And he left, got into the boat and went back to the other side of the lake.

     14 Now the disciples had forgotten to bring any bread, and had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 And as they were rowing away Jesus said, “Watch out. Beware the leaven of the Pharisees {hypocrisy, etc.} and the leaven of Herod {politics? Herod was hebrew and for Rome}.” 16 And so the disciples began to discuss with one another the fact they had no bread. 17 But Jesus, aware of it, said, “Why are you discussing among yourselves the fact we have no bread? Don’t you understand? Are your hearts still so hard? 18 Having eyes to see and ears to hear, don’t you remember 19 when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand? How many baskets did you collect afterwards?” They said, “Twelve.” 20 “And the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets were left?” And they said, “Seven.”

     21 And he said, “Do you not yet see?”
