Remember the five loaves I broke for the five thousand? How many baskets of leftovers did you pick up?" They said, "Twelve."
20
"And the seven loaves for the four thousand - how many bags full of leftovers did you get?" "Seven."
21
He said, "Do you still not get it?"
22
They arrived at Bethsaida. Some people brought a sightless man and begged Jesus to give him a healing touch.
23
Taking him by the hand, he led him out of the village. He put spit in the man's eyes, laid hands on him, and asked, "Do you see anything?"
24
He looked up. "I see men. They look like walking trees."
25
So Jesus laid hands on his eyes again. The man looked hard and realized that he had recovered perfect sight, saw everything in bright, twenty-twenty focus.
26
Jesus sent him straight home, telling him, "Don't enter the village."
27
Jesus and his disciples headed out for the villages around Caesarea Philippi. As they walked, he asked, "Who do the people say I am?"
28
"Some say 'John the Baptizer,'" they said. "Others say 'Elijah.' Still others say 'one of the prophets.'"
29
He then asked, "And you - what are you saying about me? Who am I?" Peter gave the answer: "You are the Christ, the Messiah."
