Mark 8:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:16

And they reasoned among themselves
Upon Christ's giving this caution, and recollecting with themselves, that they had forgot to buy any provisions, and take with them:

saying, it is because we have no bread;
that he says these words; tacitly chiding and reproving us, for our want of thought and care; (See Gill on Matthew 16:7).

Mark 8:16 In-Context

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!"

17 He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, "What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?

18 You have eyes! can you not see? You have ears! can you not hear? and have you no memory?
