Don’t you yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up?
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
Don’t you yet perceive or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you took up,
Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Do ye not yet perceive, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
For not everywhere is lenity a good thing. And as He used to allow them freedom of speech, so doth He also reprove, by this variety providing for their salvation. And mark thou at once His reproof, how strong, and His mildness. For all but excusing Himself to them for His severe reproofs to them, He saith, "Do ye not yet consider the five loaves, and how many baskets ye took up; and the seven loaves, and how many baskets ye took up?" And to this end He sets down also the numbers, as well of the persons fed as of the fragments, at once both bringing them to recollection of the past, and making them more attentive to the future.
(interlin.) As much as to say, Do ye not understand the mystery, nor remember the miracle?
Thus He takes this occasion to instruct them what is meant by the five loaves and the seven loaves, the five thousand and the four thousand, who were fed in the desert. For if the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees signified not earthly food, but corrupt traditions and heretical dogmas, why should not the food with which the people of God is nourished signify the true and uncorrupt doctrine?
Matthew Henry · Verses 5–12
Christ speaks of spiritual things under a similitude, and the disciples misunderstand him of carnal things. He took it ill that they should think him as thoughtful about bread as they were; that they should be so little acquainted with his way of preaching. Then understood they what he meant. Christ teaches by the Spirit of wisdom in the heart, opening the understanding to the Spirit of revelation in the word.
