Mark 8:16-17 Amplified Bible (AMP)

16 They began discussing this with one another, saying,
“It is because we have no bread [that He said this].”

17 Jesus, aware of this [discussion], said to them,
“Why are you discussing [the fact] that you have no bread?
 Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?

18 Though you have eyes, do you not see? And though you have ears,
 do you not hear and listen [to what I have said]? And do you not remember,

19 when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand,
how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?”
They answered, “Twelve.”


John 8:43-44 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
43 Why don’t you understand what I’m saying?
Because you can’t bear to listen to my message.

44 You belong to your father, Satan, and you want to carry out your father’s desires.
From the start he was a murderer, and he has never stood by the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie,
he is speaking in character; because he is a liar —
indeed, the inventor of the lie!

But you don’t accept what God says, because you don’t belong to God.”

nor are grapes picked from a bramble bush.

45 The good person out of the good treasure of the heart produces good,
and the evil person out of evil treasure produces evil;
for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth speaks.

you are forever opposing the Holy Spirit, just as your ancestors used to do.

after being often reproved (corrected, criticized),
Will suddenly be broken beyond repair.
