SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:21
Y les dijo: ¿Cómo aún no entendéis?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. And he said unto them , etc..] Since this was the case, and they so well remembered the miracles he had wrought, and the circumstances of them: how is it that ye do not understand ? my words concerning the leaven of the Pharisees, of the Sadducees, and of Herod, as to imagine I spoke of bread, taken in a literal sense; or that I concerned myself about the scantiness of your provisions, when you, might have learnt from my late miracles, how able I am to support you, if you had not so much as one loaf with you: wherefore it argues great want both of understanding and faith, and shows great stupidity, ignorance, and unbelief, to give such a sense of my words, and to be anxiously concerned on the score of your provisions.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-21 - Obstinate unbelief will have something to say, though ever s unreasonable. Christ refused to answer their demand. If they will no be convinced, they shall not. Alas! what cause we have to lament for those around us, who destroy themselves and others by their pervers and obstinate unbelief, and enmity to the gospel! When we forget the works of God, and distrust him, we should chide ourselves severely, a Christ here reproves his disciples. How is it that we so often mistak his meaning, disregard his warnings, and distrust his providence?

Robertson's NT Word Studies
8:21 {Do ye not yet understand?} (oupw suniete;). After all this rebuke and explanation. The greatest of all teachers had the greatest of all classes, but he struck a snag here. #Mt 16:12 gives the result: "qen they understood how that he bade them not beware of the loaves of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees." They had once said that they understood the parables of Jesus (#Mt 13:51). But that was a long time ago. The teacher must have patience if his pupils are to understand.
