Mateo 16:9

9 ¿Todavía no entienden? ¿No recuerdan los cinco mil que alimenté con cinco panes y las canastas con sobras que recogieron?

Mateo 16:9 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 16:9

Do ye not understand
Meaning either the sense of the advice he had now given; or rather his almighty power displayed in the two miracles of feeding five thousand at one time, and four thousand at another, with a very small quantity of provision; for to this the word "understand" refers, as well as the following:

neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many
baskets ye took up?
Have you forgot what was so lately done, namely, the feeding five thousand men, besides women and children, with five loaves and two fishes, when ye took up, after all were filled and satisfied, no less than twelve baskets of fragments? And can you, after this, distrust my power in the care of you? Have I fed so many with so small a quantity of food? and am I not able to feed twelve of you, though you have but one loaf? Why all these anxious thoughts and carnal reasonings?

Mateo 16:9 In-Context

7 Al oír esto, comenzaron a discutir entre sí pues no habían traído nada de pan.

8 Jesús supo lo que hablaban, así que les dijo:

9 ¿Todavía no entienden? ¿No recuerdan los cinco mil que alimenté con cinco panes y las canastas con sobras que recogieron?

10 ¿Ni los cuatro mil que alimenté con siete panes ni las grandes canastas con sobras que recogieron?

11 ¿Por qué no pueden entender que no hablo de pan? Una vez más les digo: “Tengan cuidado con la levadura de los fariseos y de los saduceos”».
