Jacob again blesses Joseph's two sons but he seems to continue the same trend of blessing the younger of the sons. Joseph is disappointed and even mentions he is blessing the wrong son but Jacob corrects him and says that the younger will be more powerful. Jacob lays out what will be the future of all of his sons-some great (Joseph and Benjamin) and some are not so good (Ruben). This kind of sets out some sort of judgement for the lives we live. I pray that because of Jesus my sins have been cleansed and I thank God for His mercy. Jacob gives instruction to be buried where Isaac and Abraham were buried and he is still there to this day.
Again Jesus does the same as before, heals and cures a huge group of sick. After healing everyone he decided it was time for them to eat. He only had seven loaves of bread and a few small fish, he blesses the food and feeds over 4000 plus women and children. A truly miraculous feat. The Pharisees and Sadducee's come to Jesus demanding a miraculous event to prove his authority. He condemns them for saying only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign. After this the disciples start arguing because they forgot bread. Jesus warns them about Pharisees yeast spreading. He said then about the bread and reminds them about their lack of faith..do they not remember what he did for 5000 from 5 loaves & 2 fishes, etc.
