Mark 8:20
18 ‘Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear?’ And do you not remember?
19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Twelve,” they answered.
“And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Seven,” they said.
21 Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?”
22 When they arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
