This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

36. εὐχαριστήσας. εὐχαριστεῖν does not occur before Polybius in the sense of gratias agere. The decree in Demosth. de Cor. p. 257, where the word is found, (see Lob. Phryn. 18) is probably spurious. The classical expression is χάριν εἰδέναι.

τὸ περισσεῦον τῶν κλασμάτων. See ch. Mat 14:20. One side of the lesson is the lavishness of Providence. God gives even more than we require or ask for. But the leading thought is a protest against waste.
