João 4:31 Meaning and Commentary

John 4:31

In the mean while
Whilst the woman was gone into the city, and had acquainted the inhabitants, that such a wonderful person was at Jacob's well, and invited them to come and see him:

his disciples prayed him, saying, master, eat;
for they perceived a disinclination in him to food; and they knew that he was weary with his journey, and that it was the time of day, and high time, that he had had some food; and therefore out of great respect to him, and in concern for his health and welfare, they entreated him that he would take some food: so far was Christ from indulging his sensual appetite; and so little reason had the Scribes and Pharisees to traduce him as a wine bibber and glutton.

29 “Venham ver um homem que me disse tudo o que tenho feito. Será que ele não é o Cristo?”

30 Então saíram da cidade e foram para onde ele estava.

31 Enquanto isso, os discípulos insistiam com ele: “Mestre, come alguma coisa”.

32 Mas ele lhes disse: “Tenho algo para comer que vocês não conhecem”.

33 Então os seus discípulos disseram uns aos outros: “Será que alguém lhe trouxe comida?”
