Marco 8:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:20

And when the seven among four thousand
That is, when seven loaves were broken among four thousand men,

how many baskets full of fragments took ye up?
this surely you must remember, it being so recent an action, but just done, as it were:

and they said, seven;
for this, as yet, could not have slipped their memories; though they had, been reasoning among themselves because of their straitness of provisions, as if these things had never been done.

Marco 8:20 In-Context

18 Avendo occhi non vedete? e avendo orecchie non udite? e non avete memoria alcuna?

19 Quand’io spezzai i cinque pani per i cinquemila, quante ceste piene di pezzi levaste? Essi dissero: Dodici.

20 E quando spezzai i sette pani per i quattromila, quanti panieri pieni levaste?

21 Ed essi risposero: Sette. E diceva loro: Non capite ancora?

22 E vennero in Betsaida; e gli fu menato un cieco, e lo pregarono che lo toccasse.
