John wore clothing made of camel's hair and he had a leather belt around his waist. He ate grasshoppers and wild honey.

Or how he entered the house of God [i.e., the Temple] when Abiathar was head priest, and ate the 'Bread of Presence' which was not permissible, according to the law of Moses, for anyone but priests? He even gave [some of it] to those who were with him."

and it happened, as he sowed [i.e., scattering the seed by hand], some of it fell by the side of the road and birds came and ate it.

and they all ate until they were full.

And they [all] ate until they were full, then gathered up seven baskets of broken pieces which were left over.

The number [who ate] was about four thousand men [besides women and children. See Matt. 15:38]. Then Jesus sent them away.
