And the Pharisees came out and began to argue with him – seeking a sign from heaven from him, testing him.
And sighing deeply in his spirit, he said: ‘Why does this generation seek a sign:?Truly I say to you all, if a sign will be given to this generation, then what?
And having left them again, and having got into the boat, he went to the other side.
And having forgotten to take any breads- except for one -, they did not have any with them in the boat.
And he was warning them: ‘Look out! Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees, and the yeast of Herod. ‘
And they were discussing with one another about the bread which they did not have.
And knowing this, Jesus said to them
‘Why are you discussing the bread which you do no have?
Do you not yet know nor understand?’
Have your hearts been hardened?
Do you have eyes that do not see and ears that do not hear?
And do you not remember?
When I broke the five breads for the five thousand,
how many basketfulls of leftovers did you pick up?
They said to him ‘twelve’
‘When I broke the seven breads for the four thousand,
how many basketfulls of leftovers did you pick up?
They said to him ‘seven’
And he said ‘Do you not yet understand?’
God be in head and in my understanding;
God be in my eyes and in my looking;
God be in my mouth and in my speaking;
God be in my heart and in my thinking;
God be at my end and at my departing.
