What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
Wherefore also He works another miracle, and then and not till then He reproves; I mean, He brings forward what they were reasoning in their hearts. But what were their reasonings? "Because," so it is said, "we have taken no bread." For as yet they were full of trepidation about the purifications of the Jews, and the observances of meats. Wherefore on all accounts He attacks them even with severity, saying, "Why reason ye in yourselves, O ye of little faith, because ye have brought no bread? Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? …
Western Saints
Jerome
But Jesus, being aware of this, said to them: Why are you discussing among yourselves, O you of little faith, that you have no bread? Do you still not understand or remember the five loaves for the five thousand men, and how many baskets you took up? Nor the seven loaves for the four thousand men, and how many baskets you took up? How is it that you do not understand that I did not speak to you about bread? Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. …
Thomas Aquinas
In this understanding they could be reproved in two things. First, because they did not understand; likewise, in that they distrusted the power of God. Concerning the first he does not reprove them, but concerning the second. He says therefore why do you think within yourselves, O you of little faith, that you have no bread? As if to say, you understand in a carnal way what you ought to understand spiritually.
Glossa Ordinaria
As much as to say; Why do ye think that I spake of earthly bread, for which ye ought not to have a thought, having beheld Me of so little make such abundant overplus?
