Jean 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.

Jean 4:31 In-Context

29 Venez voir un homme qui m'a dit tout ce que j'ai fait; ne serait-ce point le Christ?

30 Ils sortirent de la ville, et ils vinrent vers lui.

31 Pendant ce temps, les disciples le pressaient de manger, disant: Rabbi, mange.

32 Mais il leur dit: J'ai à manger une nourriture que vous ne connaissez pas.

33 Les disciples se disaient donc les uns aux autres: Quelqu'un lui aurait-il apporté à manger?
