Yochanan 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.

Yochanan 4:31 In-Context

29 Come, see an ish who told me everything I have ever done. Surely this one is Moshiach, is he not?

30 They came out of the city and were coming to him.

31 Divaile (meanwhile), Moshiach’s talmidim were asking him, Rebbe, eat.

32 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, I have okhel (food) to eat [IYOV 23:12] of which you have no da’as.

33 Therefore, Moshiach’s talmidim were saying to one another, Surely no one brought him anything to eat?
