After Jesus fed the 5000 people, Jesus sent the disciples away by ship to Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. He then went up into a mountain to pray, where he saw the ship toiling against a great wind. He walked out across the water to the ship, causing the apostles to wonder, as they had not considered the miracle of feeding the 5000. There continue other miracles and discourses with references or allusions to food, with a minor theme of not understanding:

The purpose of a parallel structure in ancient literature was to link two events by association and thereby create emphasis or develop a theme that was not otherwise apparent. By verse 8:21, the reader is asking, "Why don't they understand?" Later, at the Last Supper (chapter 14, the matching event R'), the reader understands, but knows that the disciples do not.
