Mateo 15:34 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 15:34

And Jesus saith unto them
In a very mild and gentle manner, taking no notice of their stupidity, nor upbraiding them with their forgetfulness of the late miracle, and willing to exercise their patience, and try their faith, asks,

how many loaves have ye?
meaning in the common stock, and which they brought along with them, for their own supply:

and they said seven, and a few little fishes;
which they mention as so small a provision, that it was as nothing for such multitudes; their loaves of bread were but seven, and their fishes, which were ready dressed, dried, or boiled were few in number, and small, as to quantity and size.

Mateo 15:34 In-Context

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.

36 Tomó luego los siete panes y los pescados, dio gracias a Dios por ellos y los partió en trozos. Se los dio a los discípulos, quienes repartieron la comida entre la multitud.
