Commentary on Matthew 15:32-39 From The People's New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891
32. I have compassion on the multitude. Because while seeking him in his mountain solitude many of them had been for three days without regular food.
33. Whence should we have so many loaves? This was not said in ignorance of the Lord's creative power, but probably to suggest the need of its exercise. They could not have forgotten the events narrated in Matt. 14:15-21.
35. He commanded . . . to sit down on the ground. Not on the grass, as in Matt. 14:19, for they were in a bare, desolate, grassless region, such as the greater part of Judea is to-day.
38. Four thousand. Instead of 5,000, as in the former miracle.
39. Came into the coasts of Magdala. He took the boat to escape the multitude. Magdala was on the western shore of the lake, three miles north of Tiberias. The Revision says Magadan, supposed to have been a village near Magdala. Mark says Dalmanutha. The meaning is that he came into the vicinity of all three of these places, which were near each other.
