Mark 8
In our reading today, Jesus miraculously feeds four thousand people with only seven loaves of bread and a few small fish. When the people are satisfactorily fed, they collect the uneaten pieces and gather seven large baskets full of leftovers. Jesus later warns his disciples to watch out for the leaven of the Pharisees, and they think he’s talking about literal leaven, and begin talking about how they don’t any bread. Later, Jesus heals a blind man partially, and then fully, as a parallel to his disciples who are beginning to see things clearly but whose eyes are not yet fully open. As a side note, technically we’re also reading verse 1 of chapter nine, as it serves better as a conclusion to Christ’s discussion about endurance.
