Mark 8:9
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.
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.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
