Marcos 8:18

18 Tendo olhos, não vedes? e tendo ouvidos, não ouvis? e não vos lembrais?

Marcos 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.

Marcos 8:18 In-Context

16 Pelo que eles arrazoavam entre si porque não tinham pão.
17 E Jesus, percebendo isso, disse-lhes: Por que arrazoais por não terdes pão? não compreendeis ainda, nem entendeis? tendes o vosso coração endurecido?
18 Tendo olhos, não vedes? e tendo ouvidos, não ouvis? e não vos lembrais?
19 Quando parti os cinco pães para os cinco mil, quantos cestos cheios de pedaços levantastes? Responderam-lhe: Doze.
20 E quando parti os sete para os quatro mil, quantas alcofas cheias de pedaços levantastes? Responderam-lhe: Sete.
