Mark 8:14

Understanding about the bread

14 Jesus' disciples had forgotten to bring any bread, so they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

Mark 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:14

Now the disciples had, forgotten to take bread
At Dalmanutha, or Magdala, or whatever place in those parts they were at, before they took shipping, as was their usual method.

Neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf;
for thirteen passengers of them. The Persic version reads the whole thus: "and they forgot to take bread with them, not indeed one loaf, and there was no bread with them in the ship"; (See Gill on Matthew 16:5).

Mark 8:14 In-Context

12 With an impatient sigh, Jesus said, "Why does this generation look for a sign? I assure you that no sign will be given to it."

13 Leaving them, he got back in the boat and crossed to the other side of the lake.

14 Jesus' disciples had forgotten to bring any bread, so they had only one loaf with them in the boat.

15 He gave them strict orders: "Watch out and be on your guard for the yeast of the Pharisees as well as the yeast of Herod."

16 The disciples discussed this among themselves, "He said this because we have no bread."
