Genesis 6: 5- 8, 7: 1- 5, 10
| 6:5 | Then God, seeing that the wickedness of men was great upon the earth and that every thought of their heart was intent upon evil at all times, |
| 6:6 | repented that he had made man on the earth. And being touched inwardly with a sorrow of heart, |
| 6:7 | he said, “I will eliminate man, whom I have created, from the face of the earth, from man to other living things, from animals even to the flying things of the air. For it grieves me that I have made them.” |
| 6:8 | Yet truly, Noah found grace before the Lord. |
| 7:1 | And the Lord said to him: “Enter the ark, you and all your house. For I have seen you to be just in my sight, within this generation. |
| 7:2 | From all the clean animals, take seven and seven, the male and the female. Yet truly, from animals that are unclean, take two and two, the male and the female. |
| 7:3 | But also from the birds of the air, take seven and seven, the male and the female, so that offspring may be saved upon the face of the whole earth. |
| 7:4 | For from that point, and after seven days, I will rain upon the earth for forty days and forty nights. And I will wipe away every substance that I have made, from the surface of the earth.” |
| 7:5 | Therefore, Noah did all things just as the Lord had commanded him. |
| 7:10 | And when seven days had passed, the waters of the great flood inundated the earth. |
Mark 8: 14- 21
| 8:14 | And they forgot to take bread. And they did not have any with them in the boat, except one loaf. |
| 8:15 | And he instructed them, saying: “Consider and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the leaven of Herod.” |
| 8:16 | And they discussed this with one another, saying, “For we have no bread.” |
| 8:17 | And Jesus, knowing this, said to them: “Why do you consider that it is because you have no bread? Do you not yet know or understand? Do you still have blindness in your heart? |
| 8:18 | Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? Do you not remember, |
| 8:19 | when I broke the five loves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments you took up?” They said to him, “Twelve.” |
| 8:20 | “And when the seven loaves were among the four thousand, how many baskets of fragments did you take up?” And they said to him, “Seven.” |
| 8:21 | And he said to them, “How is it that you do not yet understand?” |
