Mark 8:16
14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat.
15 “Watch out!” He cautioned them. “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of Herod.”
So they began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread.
17 Aware of their conversation, Jesus asked them, “Why are you debating about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Do you have such hard hearts?
18 ‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
