Mateo 16:5

5 Y viniendo sus discípulos de la otra parte del lago, se habían olvidado de tomar pan.

Mateo 16:5 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 16:5

When his disciples were come to the other side
Of the sea, as Munster's Hebrew Gospel adds, to Bethsaida, ( Mark 8:22 ) as they were either in the ship, or going from the shore to the said place, they recollected themselves,

that they had forgotten to take bread:
having but one loaf, as Mark says, in the ship; the seven baskets of fragments being either expended, or given away to the poor, of their own accord, or by Christ's orders. It seems, it was usual with the disciples to buy food at places most proper, and carry with them; since Christ often went into deserts and mountainous places, where provisions could not be had. This their forgetfulness to act according to their wonted method, might arise either from their being intent upon Christ's conversation with the Pharisees, and Sadducees, or from the suddenness of Christ's departure.

Mateo 16:5 In-Context

3 Y á la mañana: Hoy tempestad; porque tiene arreboles el cielo triste. Hipócritas, que sabéis hacer diferencia en la faz del cielo; ¿y en las señales de los tiempos no podéis?

4 La generación mala y adulterina demanda señal; mas señal no le será dada, sino la señal de Jonás profeta. Y dejándolos, se fué.

5 Y viniendo sus discípulos de la otra parte del lago, se habían olvidado de tomar pan.

6 Y Jesús les dijo: Mirad, y guardaos de la levadura de los Fariseos y de los Saduceos.

7 Y ellos pensaban dentro de sí, diciendo: Esto dice porque no tomamos pan.
