In Mark 8:21, Jesus is reminding his disciples of two miracles where he fed the crowds, one with five loaves and the other with seven loaves. He is using these examples to illustrate that they should not be concerned or anxious about having enough food because he is able to provide for their needs abundantly. The verse emphasizes the disciples' lack of understanding and faith at that moment.
Jesus has just explained to the disciples about the miracles of feeding the 5000 and feeding the 4000, and still they do not understand: "(Mark 8:21) And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?" This verse concludes a contiguous set of stories that includes a total of ten references or allusions to food, with a minor theme of the disciples not understanding (Mark 6:33-8:21 ):

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. This is where the ultimate meaning of Mark 8:21 is to be found.
