His disciples replied The phrase "His disciples replied" indicates a direct response from those who were closest to Jesus, His chosen followers. The Greek word for "disciples" is μαθηταί (mathētai), which means learners or students. This highlights their role as those who are continually learning from Jesus. Their reply shows their human perspective and limited understanding, which is a recurring theme in the Gospels. Despite witnessing previous miracles, they still struggle with doubt and understanding the full extent of Jesus' power. Where in this desolate place could anyone find enough bread to feed all these people Here in the wilderness.--The word here, as in Matthew 15:33, is not the one usually employed, and is abstract, not concrete, in its form, suggesting the idea, i.e., of "loneliness;" and through that, of a lonely place. It is used in a like sense in 2Corinthians 11:26; Hebrews 11:38. Like many other abstract words, it seems to have tended to a concrete meaning; but there is always an appreciable shade of difference. Verse 4. - Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place? St. Matthew (Matthew 15:33) gives the question thus: "Whence should we have so many loaves in a desert place, as to fill so great a multitude?" The disciples, measuring the difficulty by human reason, thought that it was impossible to find so many loaves in the desert. But Christ in this necessity, when human resources fail, supplies Divine; and meanwhile the disciples' estimate of the impossibility illustrates the grandeur of the miracle.Parallel Commentaries ...
