Then those men,.... The five thousand men, who had been fed with the loaves and fishes: when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did; in feeding so many of them, with so small a quantity of food; in multiplying the provision in such a prodigious manner, that after they had eaten to the full, so many baskets of fragments were taken up: said, this is of a truth that prophet that should come into...
