Context of Mark 8:19

17Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand?

When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied. 20“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.” 21He said to them, “Do you still not understand?”
