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.<p><b>still</b><br />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.<p><b>not understand</b><br />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.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/matthew/16.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9, 10) <span class= "bld">How many baskets.</span>--The distinction between the two kinds of baskets--the <span class= "ital">cophini</span> and the <span class= "ital">spurides</span>--is, as before noticed (Note on <a href="/matthew/15-37.htm" title="And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.">Matthew 15:37</a>), strictly observed here.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/16.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verses 9, 10.</span> - 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. <span class="cmt_word">Do ye not yet understand?</span> So he asked in <a href="/matthew/15-16.htm">Matthew 15:16</a>, "Are ye also yet without understanding?"
