Matthew 16:9 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

Ver. 9. Neither remember] Tantum didicimus, quantum meminimus. So much we learn as we remember. a Our memories are naturally like hour glasses, no sooner filled with good instructions and experiments than running out again. It must be our prayer to God that he would put his finger upon the hole, and so make our memories like the pot of manna, preserving holy truths in the ark of the soul.

a Discere voluit Socrates nihil aliud esse quam recordari. Cic. Tusc. Quaest.
