Mark 8:21

8:21 Do you not yet understand. Here Jesus’ role in teaching and training the Twelve comes into the foreground of the narrative (3:14 note). His question to them is a reproach for failing to realize that the Lord who miraculously provided for five thousand and four thousand men with their families is capable of taking care of twelve men’s physical needs. Indeed, they should know that Jesus is worthy of their total faith in all that He will reveal to them in the days to come.
