Mark 8:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:16

And they reasoned among themselves
Upon Christ's giving this caution, and recollecting with themselves, that they had forgot to buy any provisions, and take with them:

that he says these words; tacitly chiding and reproving us, for our want of thought and care; (See Gill on Matthew 16:7).

Mark 8:16 In-Context

14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.

15 “Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.”

16 So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.

17 Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them, “Why are you debating about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Do you have such hard hearts?

18 ‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?
