SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:44
Entonces él lo puso delante de ellos; y comieron, y les sobró, conforme a la palabra del SEÑOR.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 44. So he set it before them , etc.] The twenty barley loaves, and the full ears of corn: and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord ; as the disciples did at the miracle of the loaves and fishes; though that must be allowed to be a greater miracle than this, ( Matthew 14:17-21).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 38-44 - There was a famine of bread, but not of hearing the word of God, for Elisha had the sons of the prophets sitting before him, to hear his wisdom. Elisha made hurtful food to become safe and wholesome. If mess of pottage be all our dinner, remember that this great prophet ha no better for himself and his guests. The table often becomes a snare and that which should be for our welfare, proves a trap: this is a goo reason why we should not feed ourselves without fear. When we ar receiving the supports and comforts of life, we must keep up a expectation of death, and a fear of sin. We must acknowledge God' goodness in making our food wholesome and nourishing; I am the Lor that healeth thee. Elisha also made a little food go a great way Having freely received, he freely gave. God has promised his church that he will abundantly bless her provision, and satisfy her poor with bread, Ps 132:15; whom he feeds, he fills; and what he blesses, come to much. Christ's feeding his hearers was a miracle far beyond this but both teach us that those who wait upon God in the way of duty, ma hope to be supplied by Divine Providence __________________________________________________________________
