Mark 8:13 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:13

And he left them
As a perverse and hardened generation of men, and as such with whom it was not worth while to discourse:

and entering into the ship again;
which brought him over, and waited for him:

departed to the other side;
of the sea of Galilee, towards Bethsaida, ( Mark 8:22 ) .

Mark 8:13 In-Context

11 And the Pharisees came and began to argue with him, demanding from him a sign from heaven [in order to] test him.

12 And sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, "Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation!"

13 And he left them, got into [the boat] again, [and] went to the other side.

14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and except [for] one loaf, they did not have [any] with them in the boat.

15 And he ordered them, saying, "Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod!"
