Commentary on Matthew 16:8

Theological / Devotional

Jesus perceived. He knew what the disciples were thinking even if He did not hear what they were saying (see on Mark 2:8).

Ye of little faith. See on Matt. 8:26; cf. Matt. 6:30; Heb. 11:6. Faith is necessary to the perception of spiritual truth. Part of the disciples’ difficulty was that they did not perceive the true character of the Pharisees and the Sadducees (see DA 398, 408). They were still taking these religious leaders for what they pretended to be rather than for what they really were, blind to the hypocrisy that lurked behind a mask of simulated piety.
