John 21:9

As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.

Ver. 9. And fish laid thereon and bread] A feast of Christ's own providing; to assure them that they should never lack necessaries; superfluities they may want without prejudice. Nature is content with a little, grace with less. Luther dined often with a herring, Junius with an egg; as knowing, that they were not to live to eat, but eat to live. Ill doth it become a servant of the Highest to be a slave to his palate. Epicurus dum palato quid sit optimum iudicat, caeli palatium non suspexit, saith Ennius.
