Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus said to them, “Why all this fussing over forgetting to bring bread? Do you still not see or understand what I say to you? Are your hearts still hard? You have good eyes, yet you still don’t see, and you have good ears, yet you still don’t hear,
neither do you remember. When I multiplied the bread to feed more than five thousand
people, how many baskets full of leftovers did you gather afterwards?”
neither do you remember. When I multiplied the bread to feed more than five thousand
people, how many baskets full of leftovers did you gather afterwards?”
“Twelve,” they replied.
“And when I multiplied food to feed over four thousand, how many large baskets full of leftovers did you gather afterwards?”
“Seven,” they replied.
“Then how is it that you still don’t get it?” (Mark 8: 17-21 The Passion Translation).
Mark 16:14-17 (The Passion Translation): Then Jesus appeared before the eleven apostles as they were eating a meal. He corrected them for having such hard, unbelieving hearts because they did not believe those who saw him after his resurrection. And he said to them, “As you go into all the world, preach openly the wonderful news of the gospel to the entire human race!. Whoever believes the good news and is baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe the good news will be condemned. And these miracle signs will accompany those who believe….
These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe…
Do you believe?
