Matthew 16:10

10 Or the 4,000 I fed with seven loaves, and the large baskets of leftovers you picked up?

Matthew 16:10 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 16:10

Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand
Have you forgot the other miracle done but a very little while ago, when I fed four thousand men, beside women and children, with seven loaves and a few small fishes;

and how many baskets ye took up?
no less than seven large baskets; and am I not able to provide for you? distress not yourselves about this matter; give not way to unbelief, which must argue great stupidity and insensibility.

Matthew 16:10 In-Context

8 Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, “You have so little faith! Why are you arguing with each other about having no bread?

9 Don’t you understand even yet? Don’t you remember the 5,000 I fed with five loaves, and the baskets of leftovers you picked up?

10 Or the 4,000 I fed with seven loaves, and the large baskets of leftovers you picked up?

11 Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread? So again I say, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’”

12 Then at last they understood that he wasn’t speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
