14 The disciples had forgotten to bring any bread, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. 15 Lk 12.1.Jesus warned them, "Watch out! Guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and of Herod."8.15 Herod: Herod Antipas, the son of Herod the Great.
16 The disciples talked this over and said to each other, "He must be saying this because we don’t have any bread."
17 Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you talking about not having any bread? Don’t you understand? Are your minds still closed? 18 Jr 5.21;Ez 12.2;Mk 4.12.Are your eyes blind and your ears deaf? Don’t you remember 19 how many baskets of leftovers you picked up when I fed those 5,000 people with only five small loaves of bread?"
"Yes," the disciples answered. "There were twelve baskets."
20 Jesus then asked, "And how many baskets of leftovers did you pick up when I broke seven small loaves of bread for those 4,000 people?"
"Seven," they answered.
21 "Don’t you know what I am talking about by now?" Jesus asked.
