Marco 8:21

21 Ed essi dissero: Sette. Ed egli disse loro: Come dunque non avete voi intelletto?

Marco 8:21 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:21

And he said unto them
Since this was the case, and they so well remembered the miracles he had wrought, and the circumstances of them:

how is it that ye do not understand?
my words concerning the leaven of the Pharisees, of the Sadducees, and of Herod, as to imagine I spoke of bread, taken in a literal sense; or that I concerned myself about the scantiness of your provisions, when you, might have learnt from my late miracles, how able I am to support you, if you had not so much as one loaf with you: wherefore it argues great want both of understanding and faith, and shows great stupidity, ignorance, and unbelief, to give such a sense of my words, and to be anxiously concerned on the score of your provisions.

Marco 8:21 In-Context

19 Quando io distribuii que’ cinque pani fra que’ cinquemila uomini, quanti corbelli pieni di pezzi ne levaste? Essi dissero: Dodici.

20 E quando distribuii que’ sette pani fra que’ quattromila uomini, quanti panieri pieni di pezzi ne levaste?

21 Ed essi dissero: Sette. Ed egli disse loro: Come dunque non avete voi intelletto?

22 POI venne in Betsaida, e gli fu menato un cieco, e fu pregato che lo toccasse.

23 Ed egli, preso il cieco per la mano, lo menò fuor del castello; e sputatogli negli occhi, e poste le mani sopra lui, gli domandò se vedeva cosa alcuna.
