5 When they went across the lake, the disciples forgot to take bread.
5 When the disciples reached the other side, they had forgotten to bring any bread.
5 On their way to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring along bread.
5 Now when His disciples had come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
5 Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any bread.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Matthew 16:5
Commentary on Matthew 16:5-12
(Read Matthew 16:5-12)
Christ speaks of spiritual things under a similitude, and the disciples misunderstand him of carnal things. He took it ill that they should think him as thoughtful about bread as they were; that they should be so little acquainted with his way of preaching. Then understood they what he meant. Christ teaches by the Spirit of wisdom in the heart, opening the understanding to the Spirit of revelation in the word.
