Matthew 16:10

10 And the seven loaves that fed the four thousand and how many large baskets of leftovers you gathered?

Matthew 16:10 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 16:10

Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand
Have you forgot the other miracle done but a very little while ago, when I fed four thousand men, beside women and children, with seven loaves and a few small fishes;

and how many baskets ye took up?
no less than seven large baskets; and am I not able to provide for you? distress not yourselves about this matter; give not way to unbelief, which must argue great stupidity and insensibility.

Matthew 16:10 In-Context

8 Jesus knew what they were discussing and said, "You people of weak faith! Why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you don't have any bread?
9 Don't you understand yet? Don't you remember the five loaves that fed the five thousand and how many baskets of leftovers you gathered?
10 And the seven loaves that fed the four thousand and how many large baskets of leftovers you gathered?
11 Don't you know that I wasn't talking about bread? But be on your guard for the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
12 Then they understood that he wasn't telling them to be on their guard for yeast used in making bread. No, he was telling them to watch out for the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
