Mark 8:12

Read in context

Mark 8:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
