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:

saying, it is because we have no bread;
that he says these words; tacitly chiding and reproving us, for our want of thought and care; (See Gill on Matthew 16:7).

14 And they forgot to take bread, and save one loaf, they had not [any] with them in the ship.

15 And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and [of] the leaven of Herod.

16 And they reasoned with one another, [saying], It is because we have no bread.

17 And Jesus knowing [it], says to them, Why reason ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your heart [yet] hardened?

18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
