“Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?”
But Jesus, aware of this, said: O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? The little-faith rebuke — this time in plural — addresses the disciples' bread-anxiety with the same gentle challenge as Peter's water-walking (Matthew 14:31). The why are you discussing among yourselves communicates the unnecessary anxiety: the disciples have no bread because they forgot it, but they are with the one who can feed thousands with five loaves.
