For some of them were come from farre. 4 And his disciples answered him: Where shulde we get bred here in the wyldernes, to satisfie them? 5 And he axed the: How many loaues haue ye? They sayde: Seuen. 6 And he commaunded the people to syt downe vpon the grounde. And he toke the seuen loaues, and gaue thakes, and brake them, and gaue the vnto his disciples to set them before the people. And they set the before the people. 7 And they had a few small fyshes, and whan he had geuen thankes, he bad set the same before the people. 8 They ate, and were satisfied, & toke vp seue basskettes full of ye broke meate that was left. 9 And they yt ate, were vpo a foure thousande. And he sent the awaye. 10 And forth with he wente in to a shippe with his disciples, and came in to the coastes of Dalmanutha. 11 And the Pharises wente out, and begane to dispute with him, and tempted him, and desyred a token of him from heaue. 12 And he sighed in his sprete, and sayde: Why doth this generacion seke a token? Verely I saye vnto you: There shal no toke be geue vnto this generacion. 13 And he left them, and wete againe into the shippe, and passed ouer. 14 And they forgat to take bred with them, and had nomore with them in the shippe but one loaf. 15 And he comaunded them, and sayde: Take hede, and bewarre of the leuen of the Pharises, and of the leuen of Herode. 16 And their myndes wauered here and there, and sayde amonge them selues: This is it, that we haue no bred. 17 And Iesus vnderstode that, and sayde vnto them: Why trouble ye youre selues, that ye haue no bred? Are ye yet without vnderstondinge? Haue ye yet a blynded hert in you? 18 Haue ye eyes, & se not? and haue ye eares, and heare not? and remebre ye not, 19 that I brake fyue loaues amonge fyue thousande, how many basskettes full of broken meate toke ye then vp? They sayde: twolue. 20 And whan I brake the seuen amonge the foure thousande, how many baskettes full of broken meate toke ye then vp? They sayde: Seuen. 21 And he sayde vnto the: Why are ye then without vnderstondinge? Mark 8:1-21, Coverdale Bible of 1535. Public domain.
