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

29 And Jesus left there and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee and went up into the mountain and sat down there.

30 And many people came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many other sick and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them,

31 insomuch that the multitude wondered when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see, and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him and said, I have mercy on the multitude because they persevere with me now three days and have nothing to eat, and I desire not to send them away fasting lest they faint in the way.

33 Then his disciples say unto him, From where do we have so much bread in the wilderness as to satisfy so great a multitude?

34 And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven and a few little fishes.

35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

36 And he took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks and broke them and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

37 And they all ate and were filled, and they took up of the broken food that was left seven baskets full.

38 And those that ate were four thousand men besides women and children.

39 And he sent away the multitude and took ship and came into the borders of Magdala.

1 The Pharisees and the Sadducees came to tempt him; they asked him to show them a sign from the heaven.

2 But he answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather, for the heaven is glowing with an aurora.

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather today, for the heaven has an aurora and is cloudy. O ye hypocrites, ye know how to make decisions based on the face of the heaven, and regarding the signs of the times are ye unable?

4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign; and no sign shall be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah. And he left them and departed.

5 And when his disciples were coming from the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and keep yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves that ye have brought no bread?

9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

11 How is it that ye do not understand that I did not speak to you concerning bread that ye should keep yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

12 Then they understood that he bade them not to keep themselves from the leaven of bread, but from the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
