Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied. 20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.” 21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?” ***********************************************************************************************************************II can relate the 12 to the number of Disciples and the number of the 12 tribes and of course number 7 jumps out as the Day of Rest and I understand it is a number of perfection. (Not sure where I heard that lol) Anyway what do you think Jesus was saying or pointing out? Thanks New International Version (NIV) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at a person as being bread, and the yeast as that which grows it. By this statement, he is saying to avoid what both Herod and the Pharisees have in common: an unbelief in Christ.

Thanks New International Version (NIV) We know that the bible is the word of the true god, because of the harmony and relation of the old and new testament books in the bible. The holy spirit is the author and when the bible is studied carefully learning never stops. After 26 years of reading it i still learn myself.
