25. Healing Precedes
Participation in the Loaves of Jesus.
After this the word says, “And when
even was come, His disciples
came to Him, saying, The place is desert and the time is already past;
send, therefore, the multitudes away, that they may go into the
villages and buy themselves food.”5335
And first observe that when about to
give to the disciples the loaves of blessing, that they might set them
before the multitudes, He healed the sick, in order that, having been
restored to health, they might participate in the loaves of blessing;
for while they are yet sickly, they are not able to receive the loaves
of the blessing of Jesus. But if any one, when he ought to listen
to the precept, “But let each prove himself, and so let him eat
of the bread,” etc.,5336
does not obey these
words, but in haphazard fashion participates in the bread of the Lord
and His cup, he becomes weak or sickly, or even—if I may use the
expression—on account of being stupefied by the power of the
bread, asleep.
