Matthew 14:20

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

Ver. 20. And were filled ] So David’s cup overflowed, Psalms 23:5 ; he had not only a sufficience but an affluence. So, at the marriage of Cana, Christ gave them wine enough for 150 guests, John 2:10 . Howbeit he hath not promised us superfluities. Having food and raiment, let us be content, 1 Timothy 6:8 . A little of the creature will serve to carry us through our pilgrimage.

And they took up of the fragments ] Thrift is a great revenue ( ingens vectigal parsimonia ), and good husbandry well pleasing to God, Proverbs 27:26-27 , so it degenerate not into niggardise.

Twelve baskets full ] If we consider what they are, we may wonder they left anything, as if, what they left, that they ate anything.
