SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:38
Y eran los que habían comido, cuatro mil varones, sin contar las mujeres y los nios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:38
Verse 38. Four thousand] Let the poor learn from these miracles to trust in God for support. Whatever his ordinary providence denies, his miraculous power will supply.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 38. And they that did eat, were four thousand men , etc.] This number of men, as well as of the baskets of fragments, clearly shows this to be a distinct miracle from the former of this kind, recorded in ( Matthew 14:15-21). There the number of men were five thousand, here four thousand; there the quantity of food was five loaves and two fishes, here seven loaves and a few fishes; there the number of the baskets of fragments was twelve, here seven; though the quantity might be as large; since the word here used for a basket is not the same as there, and designs one of a larger size: besides women and children ; who were not taken into the account, though they ate as well as the men, and whose number might be very large.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 29-39 - Whatever our case is, the only way to find ease and relief, is to la it at Christ's feet, to submit it to him, and refer it to his disposal Those who would have spiritual healing from Christ, must be ruled as he pleases. See what work sin has made; what various diseases human bodie are subject to. Here were such diseases as fancy could neither gues the cause nor the cure of, yet these were subject to the command of Christ. The spiritual cures that Christ works are wonderful. When blin souls are made to see by faith, the dumb to speak in prayer, the maime and the lame to walk in holy obedience, it is to be wondered at. Hi power was also shown to the multitude, in the plentiful provision he made for them: the manner is much the same as before. All did eat, an were filled. Those whom Christ feeds, he fills. With Christ there is bread enough, and to spare; supplies of grace for more than seek it and for those that seek for more. Christ sent away the people. Thoug he had fed them twice, they must not look for miracles to find their daily bread. Let them go home to their callings and their own tables Lord, increase our faith, and pardon our unbelief, teaching us to liv upon thy fulness and bounty, for all things pertaining to this life and that which is to come __________________________________________________________________
