He commanded the crowd 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 crowd.
They had a few small fish. Having blessed them, he said to serve these also.
They ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets of broken pieces that were left over.
Now they 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.

He sighed deeply in his spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation."
And he left them, and got into the boat again, and went to the other side.
Now they forgot to take bread; and they did not have more than one loaf in the boat with them.

When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They told him, "Twelve."
"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."
He asked them, "Do you not yet understand?"
He came to Bethsaida. They brought a blind man to him, and begged Jesus to touch him.

He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything.
He looked up, and said, "I see people; they look like trees walking."
Then again he laid his hands on his eyes. He made him look up, and was restored, and saw everything clearly.
He sent him away to his house, saying, "Do not enter into the village."
