Marc 8:18

18 Ayant des yeux, ne voyez-vous pas? Ayant des oreilles, n'entendez-vous pas? Et n'avez-vous point de mémoire?

Marc 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:18

Having eyes, see ye not?
&c.] Meaning perhaps both the eyes of their bodies, and of their understandings: they had bodily eyes, and with them saw the miracles he wrought, and yet took little notice of them; and the eyes of their understandings were enlightened by Christ, and yet saw things but very darkly:

and having ears, hear ye not?
They had their natural hearing, and yet made but little use of it; and did not so diligently attend to the sound of Christ's words: and though they had spiritual ears given them to hear, yet were very dull of, understanding, and taking in things:

and do ye not remember?
the interpretation of parables formerly given, and the miracles of the loaves lately wrought.

Marc 8:18 In-Context

16 Les disciples raisonnaient entre eux, et disaient: C'est parce que nous n'avons pas de pains.
17 Jésus, l'ayant connu, leur dit: Pourquoi raisonnez-vous sur ce que vous n'avez pas de pains? Etes-vous encore sans intelligence, et ne comprenez-vous pas? Avez-vous le coeur endurci?
18 Ayant des yeux, ne voyez-vous pas? Ayant des oreilles, n'entendez-vous pas? Et n'avez-vous point de mémoire?
19 Quand j'ai rompu les cinq pains pour les cinq mille hommes, combien de paniers pleins de morceaux avez-vous emportés? Douze, lui répondirent-ils.
20 Et quand j'ai rompu les sept pains pour les quatre mille hommes, combien de corbeilles pleines de morceaux avez-vous emportées? Sept, répondirent-ils.
