18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?
18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don't you remember?
18 Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?
18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?
18 'You have eyes-can't you see? You have ears-can't you hear?' Don't you remember anything at all?
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 8:18
Commentary on Mark 8:11-21
(Read Mark 8:11-21)
Obstinate unbelief will have something to say, though ever so unreasonable. Christ refused to answer their demand. If they will not be convinced, they shall not. Alas! what cause we have to lament for those around us, who destroy themselves and others by their perverse and obstinate unbelief, and enmity to the gospel! When we forget the works of God, and distrust him, we should chide ourselves severely, as Christ here reproves his disciples. How is it that we so often mistake his meaning, disregard his warnings, and distrust his providence?
