34 —¿Cuántos panes tienen? —les preguntó Jesús.—Siete, y unos pocos pescaditos.

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 llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo:—Siento compasión de esta gente porque ya llevan tres días conmigo y no tienen nada que comer. No quiero despedirlos sin comer, no sea que se desmayen por el camino.

33 Los discípulos objetaron:—¿Dónde podríamos conseguir en este lugar despoblado suficiente pan para dar de comer a toda esta multitud?

34 —¿Cuántos panes tienen? —les preguntó Jesús.—Siete, y unos pocos pescaditos.

35 Luego mandó que la gente se sentara en el suelo.

36 Tomando los siete panes y los pescados, dio gracias, los partió y se los fue dando a los discípulos. Estos, a su vez, los distribuyeron a la gente.
