14. And Jesus went forth and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, and he healed their sick.
14. Note, Those that follow Christ, and seek to him, are liker to find his compassion than those that drive him away.
15. And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals. 16. But Jesus said to them, They need not depart, give ye them to eat. 17. And they say to him, We have here but five loaves and two fishes. 18. He said, Bring them hither to me. 19. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves and two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
15, &c. Note, 1. Christ fed the Body to win the Soul, and so must we. 2. Nothing is too little which God will bless. 3. Tho God be every where, yet Christ directeth us in Prayer to him to look up to Heaven; for there is the Glory in which he will appear to glorify his people. 4. If the Son of God must look up to heaven and bless his food, surely we must not take it like brutes, without craving Gods blessing on it.
