Juan 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.

Juan 4:31 In-Context

29 Venid, ved un hombre que me ha dicho todo lo que he hecho: ¿si quizás es éste el Cristo?

30 Entonces salieron de la ciudad, y vinieron á él.

31 Entre tanto los discípulos le rogaban, diciendo: Rabbí, come.

32 Y él les dijo: Yo tengo una comida que comer, que vosotros no sabéis.

33 Entonces los discípulos decían el uno al otro: ¿Si le habrá traído alguien de comer?
