As the Fourfold gospel commentary puts it, “Asking is a simple use of voice, seeking is a motion of the ...read more

    Why did Jesus send his disciples around after everyone was full to gather up the fragments that remained? It is interesting that we are not told what Jesus had done with the leftover fragments.
