And they reasoned among themselves, saying, [It is] because we have taken no bread.
Matthew 16:7 — KJV
Reasoned. Or, “deliberated,” among themselves.
No bread. See on v. 6. That is, no adequate supply. The disciples did have one small loaf, but no more (see Mark 8:14) They misconstrued Jesus’ warning against the “leaven” of the Pharisees to mean that they should avoid purchasing bread from a baker who chanced to be a Pharisee or a Sadducee (see DA 408). How slow the disciples were to reason from cause to effect and to grasp the spiritual truths Christ sought to impart to them! (See Additional Note on Chapter 15.)
