Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said,
“Why are you arguing about having no bread?
Don’t you know or understand even yet?
Are your hearts too hard to take it in?
‘You have eyes—can’t you see?
You have ears—can’t you hear?’
Don’t you remember anything at all?
When I fed the 5,000 with five loaves of bread,
how many baskets of leftovers did you pick up afterward?”
“Twelve,” they said.
“And when I fed the 4,000 with seven loaves,
how many large baskets of leftovers did you pick up?”
“Seven,” they said.
“Don’t you understand yet?” he asked them.
