Mateo 15:33

33 Los discípulos contestaron:
—¿Dónde conseguiríamos comida suficiente aquí en el desierto para semejante multitud?

Mateo 15:33 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:33

And his disciples said unto him
The former miracle of feeding five thousand men, besides women and children, with five loaves and two fishes, being quite out of their thoughts, they reply,

whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so
great a multitude?
The question is big with objections, and is put with some vehemency and astonishment: the people to be led were a multitude, a great multitude, a very great multitude, and these too had had but little, or no food, for a great while; and therefore would require the more to fill and satisfy them; and besides, it was a wilderness where they were, and where no provisions were to be had; and if they could have been got for money, they had not stock enough to purchase such a large number of loaves, as were necessary to feed so great a company with.

Mateo 15:33 In-Context

31 ¡La multitud quedó asombrada! Los que no podían hablar, ahora hablaban; los lisiados quedaron sanos, los cojos caminaban bien y los ciegos podían ver; y alababan al Dios de Israel.

32 Jesús alimenta a cuatro mil
Entonces Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo:

33 Los discípulos contestaron:
—¿Dónde conseguiríamos comida suficiente aquí en el desierto para semejante multitud?

34 —preguntó Jesús.
—Siete panes y unos pocos pescaditos —contestaron ellos.

35 Entonces Jesús le dijo a la gente que se sentara en el suelo.
