Do you still not understand?
Do you
This phrase is a direct address from Jesus to His disciples, indicating a personal and intimate conversation. The Greek word for "you" here is "ὑμεῖς" (hymeis), which is plural, emphasizing that Jesus is speaking to all His disciples collectively. This collective address suggests a shared responsibility and experience among the disciples in understanding Jesus' teachings. It is a call to reflection and self-examination, urging the disciples to consider their own spiritual perception and growth.

still
The word "still" implies a continuation of a previous state or condition. In the Greek, the word used is "οὔπω" (oupō), which means "not yet" or "still not." This indicates that there has been ample opportunity for the disciples to grasp the teachings of Jesus, yet they remain in a state of misunderstanding. It suggests a sense of patience and persistence on Jesus' part, as He continues to guide and teach His followers despite their slow progress.

not understand
The phrase "not understand" is translated from the Greek "νοεῖτε" (noeite), which means to perceive, think, or comprehend. This is not merely an intellectual understanding but a deeper spiritual insight that Jesus is seeking from His disciples. The use of this word highlights the importance of spiritual discernment and the ability to see beyond the physical and literal to grasp the spiritual truths that Jesus is imparting. It is a call to move beyond surface-level comprehension to a more profound, faith-based understanding of His mission and message.

(9, 10) How many baskets.--The distinction between the two kinds of baskets--the cophini and the spurides--is, as before noticed (Note on Matthew 15:37), strictly observed here.

Verses 9, 10. - Christ, in support of his reproof, refers to the two miracles of the multiplication of food, which ought to have assured them of his care and power. Do ye not yet understand? So he asked in Matthew 15:16, "Are ye also yet without understanding?" Their heart was hardened, and they failed to apprehend the spiritual bearing of the incidents. Neither remember? This was an additional ground for censure, that they even forgot the facts at the very time when they ought to have been recalled to their memory. Jesus reminds them of the distinctive differences between the two miracles, mentioning even the receptacles in which the fragments were collected - in the one case κόφινοι, small baskets, and in the other σπυρίδες, large panniers. It is surely wilful perversity that has deemed these two incidents, thus pointedly disjoined by our Lord, as versions of one story; and yet this is what some modern critics have suggested and upheld.
