And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
All Commentaries on Matthew 14:20 Go To Matthew 14

AD 1849
And they did all eat, and were filled. This miraculous multiplication of the loaves was effected on a Thursday evening
an excellent figure of the blessed Eucharist. On the next morning, Friday, he cured the sick at Genesareth, and arrived at Capharnaum for the first vespers of the sabbath; where, in the Synagogue, he made his promise of the holy Eucharist, which he instituted on a Thursday evening, the eve of his death. See Evangile medite. Tom. iii, p. 425.
