Lesson 4235

 (Lesson 4235)(08-26-23) Mark 8:14-21

    “Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf. And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread. And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve. And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven. And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?”

    Today’s quote clears up a mess I made two days ago when I connected the two SEPARATE miracles that Jesus performed when He first fed five thousand men with five loaves and two fishes, and then, at a different time, fed over four thousand with seven loaves and a few fishes. I sincerely apologize for that, very obvious mistake on my part. Jesus indeed performed to distinctly different, and great, miracles.

    Forgive me, I will try to do better.~
