Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(42) A piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.--The fact is interesting as pointing to the common food of the disciples. Fish--as in the miracles of the Five Thousand and the Four, and, we may add, in the narrative of John 21:9--seems to have been the staple article of diet. Honey--as in the proverbial speech which described Canaan as a land flowing with milk and honey (Exodus 3:8; Exodus 3:17; Deuteronomy 26:9; Deuteronomy 26:15; Jeremiah 11:5, et al.), as in the histories of Samson (Judges 14:8) and Jonathan (1Samuel 14:27) and John the Baptist (Matthew 3:4)--was common enough to enter into the diet of the poor. Even in a time of scarcity, when the corn and the olive crops failed, or were laid waste, butter and honey remained as a resource which did not fail (Isaiah 7:15; Isaiah 7:22). . . .
