Mateo 16:5

5 Los discípulos, al pasar al otro lado, se habían olvidado de tomar panes.

Mateo 16:5 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 16:5

When his disciples were come to the other side
Of the sea, as Munster's Hebrew Gospel adds, to Bethsaida, ( Mark 8:22 ) as they were either in the ship, or going from the shore to the said place, they recollected themselves,

that they had forgotten to take bread:
having but one loaf, as Mark says, in the ship; the seven baskets of fragments being either expended, or given away to the poor, of their own accord, or by Christ's orders. It seems, it was usual with the disciples to buy food at places most proper, and carry with them; since Christ often went into deserts and mountainous places, where provisions could not be had. This their forgetfulness to act according to their wonted method, might arise either from their being intent upon Christ's conversation with the Pharisees, and Sadducees, or from the suddenness of Christ's departure.

Mateo 16:5 In-Context

3 Y por la mañana: "Hoy habrá tempestad, porque el cielo está rojizo y amenazador." ¿Sabéis discernir el aspecto del cielo, pero no podéis discernir las señales de los tiempos?

4 Una generación perversa y adúltera busca señal, y no se le dará señal, sino la señal de Jonás. Y dejándolos, se fue.

5 Los discípulos, al pasar al otro lado, se habían olvidado de tomar panes.

6 Y Jesús les dijo: Estad atentos y guardaos de la levadura de los fariseos y saduceos.

7 Y ellos discutían entre sí, diciendo: Lo dice porque no tomamos panes.
