CommentAugustine of HippoPublic domainMatthew 14:2–5

Matthew says, “At that time,” not, On that day, or, In that same hour; for Mark relates the same circumstances, but not in the same order. He places this after the mission of the disciples to preach, though not implying that it necessarily follows there; any more than Luke, who follows the same order as Mark.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).

Also cites: De Cons. Ev., ii, 43
