“And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.”
King James Version (KJV)
8:8 So they did eat - This miracle was intended to demonstrate, that Christ was the true bread which cometh down from heaven; for he who was almighty to create bread without means to support natural life, could not want power to create bread without means to support spiritual life. And this heavenly bread we stand so much in need of every moment, that we ought to be always praying, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
8:11 Tempting him - That is, trying to ensnare him. #Mt 16:1|.
