On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

In our Father's house, in our Master's house, there is bread enough, and to spare; there is a fulness in Christ, which he communicates to all that passes through his hands; so that from it we receive, and grace for grace, John i. Those need not fear wanting, that have Christ to live upon.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?--Though the question here is the same as when He fed the five thousand, they evidently now meant no more by it than that they had not the means of feeding the multitude; modestly leaving the Lord to decide what was to be done.
