16:5 {2} And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.
(2) False teachers must be taken warning of.
16:5 His disciples were come to the other side. They crossed over the sea to the eastern shore.
Had forgotten to take bread. They had started on a journey to Caesarea Philippi, partly through a wilderness country, and would need a supply. Mark says that they had one loaf. Compare Mr 8:14-21.
16:5 Mark 8:14.
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.
