21 And G2532 he said G3004 unto them, G846 How G4459 is it that ye do G4920 not G3756 understand? G4920
For G1063 they considered G4920 not G3756 the miracle of G1909 the loaves: G740 for G1063 their G846 heart G2588 was G2258 hardened. G4456
Understand, H995 ye brutish H1197 among the people: H5971 and ye fools, H3684 when will ye be wise? H7919
How G4459 is it that G3754 ye do G3539 not G3756 understand G3539 that I spake G2036 it not G3756 to you G5213 concerning G4012 bread, G740 that ye should beware G4337 of G575 the leaven G2219 of the Pharisees G5330 and G2532 of the Sadducees? G4523 Then G5119 understood they G4920 how that G3754 he bade G2036 them not G3756 beware G4337 of G575 the leaven G2219 of bread, G740 but G235 of G575 the doctrine G1322 of the Pharisees G5330 and G2532 of the Sadducees. G4523
And G2532 he sighed deeply G389 in his G846 spirit, G4151 and saith, G3004 Why G5101 doth G1934 this G3778 generation G1074 seek after G1934 a sign? G4592 verily G281 I say G3004 unto you, G5213 There shall no G1487 sign G4592 be given G1325 unto this G5026 generation. G1074
Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto him, G846 Have I been G1510 so long G5118 time G5550 with G3326 you, G5216 and yet G2532 hast thou G1097 not G3756 known G1097 me, G3165 Philip? G5376 he that hath seen G3708 me G1691 hath seen G3708 the Father; G3962 and G2532 how G4459 sayest G3004 thou G4771 then, Shew G1166 us G2254 the Father? G3962

Commentary on Mark 8 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 8
In this chapter, we have,
Mar 8:1-9
We had the story of a miracle very like this before, in this gospel (ch. 6:35), and of this same miracle (Mt. 15:32), and here is little or no addition or alternation as to the circumstances. Yet observe,
Mar 8:10-21
Still Christ is upon motion; now he visits the parts of Dalmanutha, that no corner of the land of Israel might say that they had not had his presence with them. He came thither by ship (v. 10); but, meeting with occasions of dispute there, and not with opportunities of doing good, he entered into the ship again (v. 13), and came back. In these verses, we are told,
Mar 8:22-26
This cure is related only by this evangelist, and there is something singular in the circumstances.
Mar 8:27-38
We have read a great deal of the doctrine Christ preached, and the miracles he wrought, which were many, and strange, and well-attested, of various kinds, and wrought in several places, to the astonishment of the multitudes that were eye-witnesses of them. It is now time for us to pause a little, and to consider what these things mean; the wondrous works which Christ then forbade the publishing of, being recorded in these sacred writings, are thereby published to all the world, to us, to all ages; now what shall we think of them? Is the record of those things designed only for an amusement, or to furnish us with matter for discourse? No, certainly these things are written, that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God (Jn. 20:31); and this discourse which Christ had with his disciples, will assist us in making the necessary reflections upon the miracles of Christ, and a right use of them. Three things we are here taught to infer from the miracles Christ wrought.
