“And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.”
King James Version (KJV)
14:22 He constrained his disciples - Who were unwilling to leave him. #Mark 6:45|; John 6:15.
Mt 14:21 Five thousand men. Thus there was one loaf to every thousand men. Christ is the bread if life, satisfying the hunger of the soul for love, forgiveness, immortality, usefulness, progress, knowledge. He gives that bread to his disciples and bids them to distribute it to the multitude. Such is its blessed and divine nature that the more they distribute to hungry, famishing souls, the more they have remaining for themselves.
