John 6:9 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

Ver. 9. Five barley loaves and two small fishes] Was not Tyrabosco hardly driven, when from these five loaves and two fishes, he concluded seven sacraments? So in the second Council of Nice under Irene, John (one of the envoys of the Eastern churches) proved the making of images lawful, because God had said, "Let us make man after our own image." A sound argument to overthrow one of God's commandments! and yet it prevailed.
