Mateus 16:9

9 Não compreendeis ainda, nem vos lembrais dos cinco pães para os cinco mil, e de quantos cestos levantastes?

Mateus 16:9 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 16:9

Do ye not understand
Meaning either the sense of the advice he had now given; or rather his almighty power displayed in the two miracles of feeding five thousand at one time, and four thousand at another, with a very small quantity of provision; for to this the word "understand" refers, as well as the following:

neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many
baskets ye took up?
Have you forgot what was so lately done, namely, the feeding five thousand men, besides women and children, with five loaves and two fishes, when ye took up, after all were filled and satisfied, no less than twelve baskets of fragments? And can you, after this, distrust my power in the care of you? Have I fed so many with so small a quantity of food? and am I not able to feed twelve of you, though you have but one loaf? Why all these anxious thoughts and carnal reasonings?

Mateus 16:9 In-Context

7 Pelo que eles arrazoavam entre si, dizendo: É porque não trouxemos pão.
8 E Jesus, percebendo isso, disse: Por que arrazoais entre vós por não terdes pão, homens de pouca fé?
9 Não compreendeis ainda, nem vos lembrais dos cinco pães para os cinco mil, e de quantos cestos levantastes?
10 Nem dos sete pães para os quatro mil, e de quantas alcofas levantastes?
11 Como não compreendeis que não nos falei a respeito de pães? Mas guardai-vos do fermento dos fariseus e dos saduceus.
