¹⁶ And he said, Are you, like them, still without wisdom?

⁹ Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

³² But the saying was not clear to them, and they were in fear of questioning him about it.

¹⁸ And he said to them, Have even you so little wisdom? Do you not see that whatever goes into a man from outside is not able to make him unclean,

¹⁰ And he got the people together and said to them, Give ear, and let my words be clear to you:

¹² And though by this time it would be right for you to be teachers, you still have need of someone to give you teaching about the first simple rules of God's revelation; you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food.

³⁴ But they did not take in the sense of any of these words, and what he said was not clear to them, and their minds were not able to see it.

⁴⁵ But this saying was not clear to them and its sense was kept secret from them so that they were not able to see it: and they had fear of questioning him about it.

¹⁷ And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Why are you reasoning among yourselves because you have no bread? do you still not see, and is it still not clear to you? are your hearts so hard?

¹⁸ Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory?

⁵² For it was not clear to them about the bread; but their hearts were hard.

¹¹ How is it that you do not see that I was not talking to you about bread, but about keeping away from the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees?

⁵¹ Are all these things now clear to you? They say to him, Yes.

⁹ To whom will he give knowledge? and to whom will he make clear the word? Will it be to those who have newly given up milk, and who have only now been taken from the breast?

¹⁰ For it is one rule after another; one line after another; here a little, there a little.
