Mark 8:18

ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες. From Jeremiah 5:21; Ezekiel 12:2. This also is omitted in Mt. Cf. Oxyrh. Logia 3, ὅτι τυφλοί εἰσιν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν καὶ οὐ βλέπουσιν, πτωχοὶ καὶ οὐκ οἴδασιν τὴν πτωχίαν.

καὶ οὐ μνημονεύετε. This may be an independent sentence; either And do ye not remember? (A.V., R.V.), or “And ye do not remember.” More probably it is the principal clause of the sentence which follows, taken interrogatively; Do ye not remember when I brake … how many … ye took up?
