In those days, when there was a very great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to himself and said to them, Mat 15:32-39Mrk 6:34-44 “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days and have nothing to eat. Mat 9:36Mic 7:19Psa 103:13Psa 145:15Heb 4:15Heb 5:2Luk 7:13Mat 14:14 If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, for some of them have come a long way.” Isa 40:31Jdg 8:4-61Sa 14:28-311Sa 30:10-12
His disciples answered him, “From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?” Mat 15:33Mrk 6:52Mrk 6:36-37Psa 78:19-202Ki 7:2Jhn 6:7-9Num 11:21-232Ki 4:42-44
He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” Mat 14:15-17Luk 9:13Mat 15:34Mrk 6:38
They said, “Seven.”
He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground, and he took the seven loaves. Having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to serve, and they served the multitude. Col 3:17Jhn 6:10-11Mat 14:18-19Mat 15:35-361Co 10:30-31Jhn 2:5Jhn 6:23Rom 14:6 They also had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also. Mat 14:19Jhn 21:5Jhn 21:8-9Luk 24:41-42Luk 6:41 They ate and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over. Mat 16:10Psa 145:162Ki 4:42-44Mrk 8:19-20Psa 107:8-92Ki 4:2-7Jhn 6:11-13Jhn 6:32-35 Those who had eaten were about four thousand. Then he sent them away.
Immediately he entered into the boat with his disciples and came into the region of Dalmanutha. Mat 15:39 The Pharisees came out and began to question him, seeking from him a sign from heaven and testing him. Mat 12:381Co 10:9Jhn 4:481Co 1:22-23Deu 6:16Exo 17:7Luk 11:16Luk 12:54-57 He sighed deeply in his spirit and said, “Why does this generation 1 seek a sign? Most certainly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.” Mat 12:39-40Jhn 12:37-43Mat 16:4Mrk 7:34Luk 11:29-30Luk 22:67-70Mrk 3:5Isa 53:3
He left them, and again entering into the boat, departed to the other side. Act 18:6Act 13:45-46Hos 4:17Hos 9:12Jer 23:33Jhn 12:36Jhn 8:21Luk 8:37 They forgot to take bread; and they didn’t have more than one loaf in the boat with them. Mat 16:5 He warned them, saying, “Take heed: beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod.” 1Co 5:6-8Mat 16:6Mat 16:11-12Mrk 12:13Luk 12:1-2Exo 12:18-20Lev 2:11Pro 19:27
They reasoned with one another, saying, “It’s because we have no bread.” Luk 20:5Luk 9:46Mat 16:7-8
Jesus, perceiving it, said to them, “Why do you reason that it’s because you have no bread? Don’t you perceive yet or understand? Is your heart still hardened? Mrk 6:52Heb 5:11-12Isa 63:17Mrk 2:8Mrk 3:5Mat 16:8-9Heb 4:12-13Jhn 16:30 Having eyes, don’t you see? Having ears, don’t you hear? Don’t you remember?

They told him, “Twelve.”
“When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?” Mat 15:34-38Mrk 8:1-9
They told him, “Seven.”
He asked them, “Don’t you understand yet?” Mrk 6:52Psa 94:81Co 15:341Co 6:5Jhn 14:9Mat 16:11-12Mrk 8:12Mrk 8:17
He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. Mat 11:21Luk 10:13Mrk 6:45Jhn 1:44Jhn 12:21Mat 8:15Mat 9:29Mrk 2:3 He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spat on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything. Mrk 7:33Jhn 9:6-7Act 9:8Mrk 5:23Isa 44:2Isa 51:18Heb 8:9Jer 31:32
He looked up, and said, “I see men, but I see them like walking trees.” Isa 29:181Co 13:9-12Isa 32:3Jdg 9:36
Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He looked intently, and was restored, and saw everyone clearly. Php 1:6Pro 4:181Pe 2:92Pe 3:18Mat 13:12 He sent him away to his house, saying, “Don’t enter into the village, nor tell anyone in the village.” Mat 8:4Mat 12:16Mat 9:30Mrk 5:43Mrk 7:36Mrk 8:23

They told him, “John the Baptizer, and others say Elijah, but others, one of the prophets.” Jhn 1:21Mal 4:5Mat 14:2Mrk 9:11-13Luk 9:7-9Mat 16:14Mrk 6:14-16

Peter answered, “You are the Christ.”
He commanded them that they should tell no one about him. Luk 9:21Mat 16:20Mrk 9:9Mat 8:4Mrk 7:36Mrk 8:26 He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again. Mrk 10:33-34Jhn 2:19Luk 24:261Sa 10:19Act 7:35Hos 6:2Luk 17:25Mat 16:21-28 He spoke to them openly. Peter took him and began to rebuke him. Mat 16:22Jhn 16:25Jhn 16:29Jhn 18:20Jhn 13:6-8Luk 10:40Mrk 4:38 But he, turning around and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you have in mind not the things of God, but the things of men.” Mat 4:10Php 3:191Jn 2:15Jas 3:15-18Gen 3:4-6Mat 6:31-32Mrk 3:34Psa 141:5
He called the multitude to himself with his disciples and said to them, “Whoever wants to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Mat 10:38Luk 14:26-27Jhn 10:27Gal 5:24Gal 2:201Ki 14:81Jn 3:16Num 14:24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; and whoever will lose his life for my sake and the sake of the Good News will save it. 2Ti 2:11-131Co 9:23Luk 17:332Ti 1:8Mat 16:25Jhn 12:25-26Mat 10:392Co 12:10 For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?

Psa 49:7-81Pe 1:18-19 For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.” Luk 12:8-9Rom 1:161Jn 2:23Jas 4:4Luk 9:26Mat 10:32-332Ti 1:8Mat 26:64
