- v32: unlike the last time, Jesus bring up the meal issue (rf 14:15).
- v33: just like the last time, the Disciples had no idea that they can rely on their teacher. The correct answer would have been, "Teacher, we don't have enough for the thousands of poeple here, but we know you can provide. So here are the 7 loaves of bread and a few small fish. That's all we've got. Please use them." Jesus would have been so proud... But who am I to be smart here. Even Peter, who boasted he would never fall (26:33), couldn't help himself. In a case like mine, Jesus would have pointed out easily my many issues and remind me 'When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.' (Prov 11:2)
- v37: 7 baskets of leftover.
- 16:2-3: evening red sky -> fair next day; morning red -> storm.
- v3: interpret the signs fo the times.
- v9-10: Jesus reminded his disciples of the miracles of the 5 loaves and the 7 loaves (don't forget there's leftovers both times).
- v12: they finally understood the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees meant their teaching.
