New Testament

Mark Chapter 8

   

Jesus fed 4000 men who'd been with Him 3 days
In the wilderness before they went their own ways:
He blessed 7 loaves and a few fishes, said "share!"
Afterwards 7 food baskets were gathered, spare!
Pharisees wished a sign..."Shun their leaven!" Christ said.
He meant their doctrines - His men thought He spoke of bread!
In Bethsaida He healed a blind man by degrees -
Twice put spit on his eyes - first he saw men as trees.
Peter cried "You're The Christ!""Tell none," Christ coached His men,
Next foretold His death! Peter rebuked Him, but then
Heard: "Leave me, satan! Men's things, not God's, are your goal."
"Follow Me", the Lord preached, "the world's not worth your soul!"
