Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

And when the seven among four thousand,.... That is, when seven loaves were broken among four thousand men, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? this surely you must remember, it being so recent an action, but just done, as it were: and they said, seven; for this, as yet, could not have slipped their memories; though they had, been reasoning among themselves because of their straitness of provisions, as if these things had never been done.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 1822: “Certain Curious Calculations About Loaves and Fishes” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1885)

THE disciples had come on board the vessel and had forgotten to bring bread with them—good men's memories sometimes fail them. For that reason they were greatly disturbed in mind and they supposed that Jesus was also disquieted and that He had shaped His speech so as to give them an indirect rebuke when He mentioned the leaven of the Pharisees. How little they understood His mind, though they had been so long a time with Him! His thoughts were not occupied about bread for Himself and neither was there any carking care in His heart about bread for them.
