Mateus 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.

Mateus 15:33 In-Context

32 Jesus chamou os seus discípulos e disse: “Tenho compaixão desta multidão; já faz três dias que eles estão comigo e nada têm para comer. Não quero mandá-los embora com fome, porque podem desfalecer no caminho”.

33 Os seus discípulos responderam: “Onde poderíamos encontrar, neste lugar deserto, pão suficiente para alimentar tanta gente?”

34 “Quantos pães vocês têm?”, perguntou Jesus.“Sete”, responderam eles, “e alguns peixinhos”.

35 Ele ordenou à multidão que se assentasse no chão.
