Context of Mark 8:18

16And they reasoned with one another, [saying], It is because we have no bread. 17And Jesus knowing [it], says to them, Why reason ye because ye have no bread? Do ye not yet perceive nor understand? Have ye your heart [yet] hardened? Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember? 19When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many hand-baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say to him, Twelve. 20And when the seven for the four thousand, the filling of how many baskets of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

If they will not be convinced, they shall not.

When we forget the works of God, and distrust him, we should chide ourselves severely, as Christ here reproves his disciples…Read the comment
