What does Matthew 16:5 mean?

Jesus had just had another confrontation with a group of Jewish religious leaders (Matthew 16:4). In reporting the same conversation, Mark said that Jesus "sighed deeply in his spirit" when answering them (Mark 8:12). Following that conversation, Jesus and the disciples got into the boat and sailed again to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. The following verse will show, though, that Jesus is still thinking about the Pharisees and Sadducees.

The disciples, though, are thinking about bread. More specifically, they have realized they did not pack enough bread for this trip. They might be concerned Jesus will be upset about their poor planning. Instead, He will be concerned about the focus of their hearts and minds.
