Matthew 15:36. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
I think I see him rising from the place where he sat, and saying, " Now you have been standing up and you are all hungry, sit down all of you." What a sight to see them all dropping into their places. According to Mark they fell into order by rank, by hundreds and by fifties. What a Commander-in-Chief Christ is. When he makes a banquet it is not a scramble, it is always orderly, and when there is anything very disorderly it is generally because Christ is not there, if he is there, everything seems to fit into its place.
Matthew 15:36. And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
"They did all eat and were filled." I remember a country brother putting it, " And they did all eat," which I think is very likely; they were very hungry they did all eat, and were filled; they were ravenous, but they were not stinted.
