All Commentaries on Matthew 14:18 Go To Matthew 14
John Chrysostom
AD 407
They continuing therefore to crawl on the ground, then at length He brings in His own part, and says, Bring them hither to me. For although the place be desert, yet He that feeds the world is here; and although the time be now past, yet He that is not subject to time is discoursing with you.
But John says also, that they were barley loaves, John 6:9 not mentioning it without object, but teaching us to trample under foot the pride of costly living. Such was the diet of the prophets also.
