Mateo 14:16 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 14:16

But Jesus said unto them
the disciples,

they need not depart;
meaning so long as he was with them, who had power enough to provide a sufficient meal for them, as well as by a word speaking, to heal their diseases; however, to try their faith, and make way for the working of the following miracle, he says to them,

give ye them to eat;
such provisions as you have along with you.

Mateo 14:16 In-Context

14 Cuando Jesús bajó de la barca, vio a la gran multitud, tuvo compasión de ellos y sanó a los enfermos.

15 Esa tarde, los discípulos se le acercaron y le dijeron:
—Este es un lugar alejado y ya se está haciendo tarde. Despide a las multitudes para que puedan ir a las aldeas a comprarse comida.

16 Jesús les dijo:

17 —¡Pero lo único que tenemos son cinco panes y dos pescados! —le respondieron.

18 —dijo Jesús.
