SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:5
¶ Y viniendo sus discípulos del otro lado del lago , se habían olvidado de tomar pan.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:5
Verse 5. Come to the other side] Viz. the coast of Bethsaida, by which our Lord passed, going to Caesarea, for he was now on his journey thither. See ver. 13, and Mark viii. 22, 27.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 5. When his disciples were come to the other side , etc.] Of the sea, as Munsters Hebrew Gospel adds, to Bethsaida, ( Mark 8:22) as they were either in the ship, or going from the shore to the said place, they recollected themselves, that they had forgotten to take bread : having but one loaf, as Mark says, in the ship; the seven baskets of fragments being either expended, or given away to the poor, of their own accord, or by Christs orders. It seems, it was usual with the disciples to buy food at places most proper, and carry with them; since Christ often went into deserts and mountainous places, where provisions could not be had. This their forgetfulness to act according to their wonted method, might arise either from their being intent upon Christs conversation with the Pharisees, and Sadducees, or from the suddenness of Christs departure.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-12 - Christ speaks of spiritual things under a similitude, and the disciple misunderstand him of carnal things. He took it ill that they shoul think him as thoughtful about bread as they were; that they should be so little acquainted with his way of preaching. Then understood the what he meant. Christ teaches by the Spirit of wisdom in the heart opening the understanding to the Spirit of revelation in the word.

16:5 {Came} (elqontes). Probably= "went" as in #Lu 15:20 (ire, not venire). So in #Mr 8:13 apelqen. {Forgot} (epelaqonto). Perhaps in the hurry to leave Galilee, probably in the same boat by which they came across from Decapolis.
