Mark 8:17

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And when Jesus knew it,.... As he did immediately, by his omniscience; for as he knew the thoughts and reasonings of the Scribes and Pharisees, Mt 9:4, so he did those of his own disciples:he saith unto them, why reason ye because ye have no bread?

or imagine that I have given you this caution on that account; or are distressed because this is your case, as if you should be reduced to great difficulties, by reason of your forgetfulness and negligence:perceive ye not yet, neither understand?

the meaning of the parabolical expressions, which he had used them to; or his power in providing food for them, and supporting a great number of persons with very little food, of which they had some very late instances:have ye your heart yet hardened?
