A Faith Based on Sight

Multiple commentators, including Charles Spurgeon and John Calvin, view this verse with a critical eye. They argue that the Israelites' belief was not commendable because it only came after they saw the miracle. This is described as a "poor faith" that relies on sight rather than a deep trust in God's promises, serving as a caution against faith that requires constant proof.
