The place where it was wrought, was, first, a private house. Here observe, that Christ was ready to manifest the gift which God had bestowed upon him in doing good, not only openly before many, but in private houses also before a few; as Joh. 2.1. at a private marriage of a poor couple he wrought his first miracle: and Matth. 9.23. because it was not a popular applause that he sought for, but doing of good to the Church, and for it he was as ready in one place as another. Howbeit, most of his miracles were public, because hereby, first, God was most glorified: secondly, more did reap benefit: thirdly, his Ministry more credited.

The use is for us to do the like in doing good to all, in all places indifferently, as occasion shall serve. For to do nothing but what many may take notice of, savoureth of arrogancy and desire of glory, rather then zeal of Gods glory, and good of their brother.
