Matthieu 14:16 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 14:16

But Jesus said unto them
the disciples,

they need not depart;
meaning so long as he was with them, who had power enough to provide a sufficient meal for them, as well as by a word speaking, to heal their diseases; however, to try their faith, and make way for the working of the following miracle, he says to them,

give ye them to eat;
such provisions as you have along with you.

14 Et Jésus, étant sorti, vit une grande multitude; et il fut ému de compassion envers eux, et guérit leurs malades.
15 Et comme il se faisait tard, ses disciples vinrent à lui, et dirent: Ce lieu est désert, et l'heure est déjà avancée; renvoie ce peuple afin qu'ils aillent dans les bourgades, et qu'ils y achètent des vivres.
16 Mais Jésus leur dit: Il n'est pas nécessaire qu'ils y aillent; donnez-leur vous-mêmes à manger.
17 Et ils lui dirent: Nous n'avons ici que cinq pains et deux poissons.
18 Et il dit: Apportez-les-moi ici.
