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).

Mark 8:16 In-Context

14 And they had forgotten to take bread, and except [for] one loaf, they did not have [any] with them in the boat.

15 And he ordered them, saying, "Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod!"

16 And they began to discuss with one another that they had no bread.

17 And knowing [this], he said to them, "Why are you discussing that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Have your hearts been hardened?

18 [Although you] have eyes, do you not see? And [although you] have ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
