Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 4:1-4

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“As if He said, Not by bread alone is human nature sustained, but the word of God is sufficient to support the whole nature of man. Such was the food of the Israelites when they gathered manna during the space of forty years, and when they delighted in the taking of quails. (Exod. 16:15, Numb. 11:32) By the Divine counsel Elias had the crows to entertain him; (1 Kings 17:6) Elisha fed his companions on the herbs of the field. (2 Kings 4:44.)”
