Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered?
Christ speaks of spiritual things in earthly pictures, and His disciples hear only bread and butter. They forgot provisions because their minds were filled with better things, which is no small mercy. But mark this: the leaven of the Pharisees, their corrupt principles spreading like yeast through dough, is far more dangerous than an empty pantry, and disciples stand most in peril from hypocrites who cloak their poison in piety.

Commenting on Matthew 16:5-12
Have you forgotten the other miracle so lately wrought, when I fed four thousand men with seven loaves and a few small fishes? You gathered seven large baskets of fragments. Am I not able to provide for you? This unbelief argues great stupidity and insensibility.
