Mark 8:1-10: The Feeding of the Four Thousand: Jesus miraculously feeds a crowd of 4,000 Gentile men along with women and children, then departs to return to His home region across the Sea of Galilee.

Mark 8:11-13 describes how, soon after returning to Galilee, the Pharisees confront Jesus, seeking to trap Him by demanding a sign to prove He is the Messiah.
