Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Honey-comb - Honey abounded in Palestine, and was a very common article of food. Bees lived in caves of the rocks, in the hollows of trees, and were also kept as with us. The disciples gave, probably, just what was their own common fare, and what was ready at the time.

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish,.... Which was left by them at supper, of which they had been eating; for being fishermen, most of them, this was agreeable food to them:
and of an honeycomb; not to eat with the fish, but after it.

honeycomb--common frugal fare, anciently.
