Mark 8:9 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 8.
5 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven,” they replied.
6 And He instructed the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves, gave thanks and broke them, and gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And they distributed them to the crowd.
7 They also had a few small fish, and Jesus blessed them and ordered that these be set before them as well.
8 The people ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
9 And about four thousand men were present. As soon as Jesus had dismissed the crowd,
10 He got into the boat with His disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
11 Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, testing Him by demanding from Him a sign from heaven.
12 Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
13 And He left them, got back into the boat, and crossed to the other side.
