Mark 8:11-17

Mark 8:11 Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.

Mark 8:12 But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.”

Mark 8:13 And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side.

Mark 8:14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat.

Mark 8:15 Then He charged them, saying, “Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”

Mark 8:16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, “It is because we have no bread.”

Mark 8:17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, “Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened?


Leaven: zume {dzoo'-may}

1) ferment (as if boiling up)
2) inveterate mental and moral corruption, viewed in its
tendency to infect others

Hardened: poroo {po-ro'-o}

1) to petrify, or render stupid
2) to cover with a thick skin, to harden by covering with a callus
b) to grow hard, callous, become dull


Prayer:

Lord, thank You that sent the sign of Your Son to leaven the Earth.

I will not harden my heart.
