☆ Gospel:Mark 8:14-21
14
And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.
15
And he said to them, Take care to be on the watch against the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.
16
And they said to one another, We have no bread.
17
And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?
18
Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory?
19
When I made a division of the five cakes of bread among the five thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? They said to him, Twelve.
20
And when the seven among the four thousand, what number of baskets full of broken bits did you take up? And they said to him, Seven.
21
And he said to them, Is it still not clear to you?

☆ James 1:12-18
12
There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.
13
Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:
14
But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.
15
Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
16
Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.
17
Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.
18
Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.
