Context of Mark 8:17

15Jesus said to them, ‘Be careful. Do not accept the yeast of the Pharisees or the yeast of Herod.’ 16The disciples began to say to each other, ‘Jesus is saying that because we do not have any bread.’ Jesus knew what they were talking about. So he said to them, ‘You should not be arguing about the bread. You still do not understand my teaching. You seem unable to learn. 18You are like people who have eyes but they cannot see with them. You are like people who have ears but they cannot hear with them. 19Remember that I used five loaves of bread to feed 5,000 men. How many baskets did you fill with pieces of food that were left?’ ‘There were 12 baskets,’ they replied.
