Marcos 8:18

18 ¿Es que tienen ojos, pero no ven, y oídos, pero no oyen? ¿Acaso no recuerdan?

Marcos 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.

17 Al darse cuenta de esto, Jesús les dijo:—¿Por qué están hablando de que no tienen pan? ¿Todavía no ven ni entienden? ¿Tienen la mente embotada?

18 ¿Es que tienen ojos, pero no ven, y oídos, pero no oyen? ¿Acaso no recuerdan?

19 Cuando partí los cinco panes para los cinco mil, ¿cuántas canastas llenas de pedazos recogieron?—Doce —respondieron.

20 —Y cuando partí los siete panes para los cuatro mil, ¿cuántas cestas llenas de pedazos recogieron?—Siete.
