After He had left the crowd and gone indoors, His disciples began to ask Him about this figure of speech.

About that time there was again an immense crowd, and they found themselves with nothing to eat. So He called His disciples to Him.

The number fed were about 4,000. Then He sent them away,

He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them, "What is this discussion of yours about having no bread? Do you not yet see and understand? Are your minds so dull of comprehension?
