Matthew 15:29-39; Matthew 16:1-12

29 And Jesus went from there and came to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and took his seat there.

30 And there came to him great numbers of people having with them those who were broken in body, or blind, or without voice, or wounded, or ill in any way, and a number of others; they put them down at his feet and he made them well:

31 So that the people were full of wonder when they saw that those who had no voice were talking, the feeble were made strong, those whose bodies were broken had the power of walking, and the blind were able to see: and they gave glory to the God of Israel.

32 And Jesus got his disciples together and said, I have pity for the people, because they have now been with me three days and have no food: and I will not send them away without food, or they will have no strength for the journey.

33 And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people?

34 And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes.

35 Then he gave an order to the people to be seated on the earth,

36 And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

37 And they all took food, and had enough; and they took up of the broken bits, seven baskets full.

38 And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children.

39 And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.

1 And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, made a request to him to give them a sign from heaven.

2 But in answer he said to them, At nightfall you say, The weather will be good, for the sky is red.

3 And in the morning, The weather will be bad today, for the sky is red and angry. You are able to see the face of heaven, but not the signs of the times.

4 An evil and false generation is searching after a sign; and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. And he went away from them.

5 And when the disciples came to the other side they had not taken thought to get bread.

6 And Jesus said to them, Take care to have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.

7 And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, We took no bread.

8 And Jesus, seeing it, said, O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you have no bread?

9 Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

10 Or the seven cakes of bread of the four thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

11 How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

12 Then they saw that it was not the leaven of bread which he had in mind, but the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
