It is because we have no bread

In this statement, it may be helpful to state that "it" refers to what Jesus had said. Alternate translation: "He must have said that because we have no bread" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit)

no bread

The word "no" is an exaggeration. The disciples did have one loaf of bread (Mark 8:14), but that was not much different from having no bread at all. Alternate translation: "very little bread" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole)
