Mark 8:14 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:14

Now the disciples had, forgotten to take bread
At Dalmanutha, or Magdala, or whatever place in those parts they were at, before they took shipping, as was their usual method.

Neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf;
for thirteen passengers of them. The Persic version reads the whole thus: "and they forgot to take bread with them, not indeed one loaf, and there was no bread with them in the ship"; (See Gill on Matthew 16:5).

Mark 8:14 In-Context

12 Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said, "Why do the men of to-day ask for a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign will be given to the men of to-day."

13 So He left them, went on board again, and came away to the other side.

14 Now they had forgotten to take bread, nor had they more than a single loaf with them in the boat;

15 and when He admonished them, "See to it, be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod,"

16 they explained His words to one another by saying, "We have no bread!"
