Commentary on Matthew 16:9

Theological / Devotional

Do ye not yet understand? Jesus was disappointed at their slowness to perceive spiritual truth (see on Mark 6:37). Only a few hours before, He had provided food for 4,000 men, and a few weeks earlier, for 5,000. Why should they think that He was concerned because of a lack of literal bread?

Five thousand. See on Mark 6:30-44.
