First Reading
Genesis 6:5-8; 7:1-5, 10
6
5The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6And the LORD was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart.
7So the LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the ground, man and beast and creeping things and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them."
8But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
7
1Then the LORD said to Noah, "Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that you are righteous before me in this generation.
2Take with you seven pairs of all clean animals, the male and his mate; and a pair of the animals that are not clean, the male and his mate;
3and seven pairs of the birds of the air also, male and female, to keep their kind alive upon the face of all the earth.
4For in seven days I will send rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living thing that I have made I will blot out from the face of the ground."
5And Noah did all that the LORD had commanded him.
10And after seven days the waters of the flood came upon the earth.

2Ascribe to the LORD the glory of his name; worship the LORD in holy array.
3The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, upon many waters.
4The voice of the LORD is powerful, the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.
9The voice of the LORD makes the oaks to whirl, and strips the forests bare; and in his temple all cry, "Glory!"
10The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king for ever.
Gospel
Mark 8:14-21
14Now they had forgotten to bring bread; and they had only one loaf with them in the boat.
15And he cautioned them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."
16And they discussed it with one another, saying, "We have no bread."
17And being aware of it, Jesus said to them, "Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
18Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?
19When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" They said to him, "Twelve."
20"And the seven for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?" And they said to him, "Seven."
21And he said to them, "Do you not yet understand?"
