And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
All Commentaries on Matthew 16:7 Go To Matthew 16
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Wherefore also He works another miracle, and then and not till then He reproves; I mean, He brings forward what they were reasoning in their hearts. But what were their reasonings? Because, so it is said, we have taken no bread. For as yet they were full of trepidation about the purifications of the Jews, and the observances of meats.
