Summoning the crowd, He told them, “Listen and understand:

“Have you understood all these things?”

“Yes,” they told Him.

Don’t you understand yet? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the 5,000 and how many baskets you collected?

Who is he trying to teach?
Who is he trying to instruct?
Infants just weaned from milk?
Babies removed from the breast?

because they had not understood about the loaves. Instead, their hearts were hardened.

And He said to them, “Are you also as lacking in understanding? Don’t you realize that nothing going into a man from the outside can defile him?

Aware of this, He said to them, “Why are you discussing that you do not have any bread? Don’t you understand or comprehend? Is your heart hardened?

But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

But they did not understand this statement; it was concealed from them so that they could not grasp it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.

They understood none of these things. This saying

was hidden from them, and they did not grasp what was said.

Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food.
