Markos 8:21 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:21

And he said unto them
Since this was the case, and they so well remembered the miracles he had wrought, and the circumstances of them:

how is it that ye do not understand?
my words concerning the leaven of the Pharisees, of the Sadducees, and of Herod, as to imagine I spoke of bread, taken in a literal sense; or that I concerned myself about the scantiness of your provisions, when you, might have learnt from my late miracles, how able I am to support you, if you had not so much as one loaf with you: wherefore it argues great want both of understanding and faith, and shows great stupidity, ignorance, and unbelief, to give such a sense of my words, and to be anxiously concerned on the score of your provisions.

Markos 8:21 In-Context

19 When I offered the beziat halechem with the chamesh kikrot (five loaves) for the chameshet elafim (five thousand), how many baskets of shirayim you picked up? And they say to him, Shneym Asar.

20 And when I offered the beziat halechem over the shevah (seven) for the arbaat haalafim (four thousand), how many baskets full of shirayim did you pick up? And they say to him, Shiva.

21 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying to them, Do you not yet have binah?

22 And they come to Beit-Tzaidah. And they bring to him an ivver (blind man), and entreated him to touch him.

23 And having grasped the hand of the ivver, he took him outside the shtetl; and, having put spittle on his eyes, [and] having laid hands upon him, he was questioning him, Do you see anything?
