Marc 8:18

18 Ayant des yeux, ne voyez-vous point? Ayant des oreilles, n'entendez-vous point? Et n'avez-vous point de mémoire?

Marc 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:18

Having eyes, see ye not?
&c.] Meaning perhaps both the eyes of their bodies, and of their understandings: they had bodily eyes, and with them saw the miracles he wrought, and yet took little notice of them; and the eyes of their understandings were enlightened by Christ, and yet saw things but very darkly:

and having ears, hear ye not?
They had their natural hearing, and yet made but little use of it; and did not so diligently attend to the sound of Christ's words: and though they had spiritual ears given them to hear, yet were very dull of, understanding, and taking in things:

and do ye not remember?
the interpretation of parables formerly given, and the miracles of the loaves lately wrought.

Marc 8:18 In-Context

16 Et ils raisonnaient entre eux, disant: C'est parce que nous n'avons point de pains.

17 Et Jésus, l'ayant connu, leur dit: Pourquoi raisonnez-vous sur ce que vous n'avez point de pains? N'entendez-vous et ne comprenez-vous point encore? Avez-vous toujours le cœur aveuglé?

18 Ayant des yeux, ne voyez-vous point? Ayant des oreilles, n'entendez-vous point? Et n'avez-vous point de mémoire?

19 Lorsque je rompis les cinq pains pour les cinq mille hommes, combien remportâtes-vous de paniers pleins de morceaux? Ils lui dirent: Douze.

20 Et lorsque je rompis les sept pains pour les quatre mille hommes, combien remportâtes-vous de corbeilles pleines de morceaux? Ils lui dirent: Sept.
