Contextual Overview

²⁷ While he was talking, his disciples came, and they were surprised that he was talking with a married woman; but no one said to him, What do you want? or, What are you talking with her? ²⁸ The woman then left her water jar, and went to the city and said to the men, ²⁹ Come and see a man who told me everything which I have done; why, is he the Christ? ³⁰ And the men went out of the city, and came to him. ³¹ During the interval his disciples begged him, saying, Teacher, eat. ³² But he said to them, I have food to eat, of which you do not know. ³³ The disciples said among themselves, Why, did any man bring him something to eat? ³⁴ Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of him who sent me, and to finish his work. ³⁵ Do you not say that after four months comes the harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look at the fields, which have turned white and have long been ready for the harvest. ³⁶ And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruits to life everlasting; so that the sower and the reaper may rejoice together.

Matthew 16:6-11, Luke 9:45

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Therefore said the disciples one to another,.... Privately, among themselves, though in his hearing; at least he knew what they said by answer;

hath any man; or anyone, any angel from heaven, or any of the inhabitants of the city, or any man or woman, or this woman they had found him talking with:

brought him [ought] to eat? for they thought of nothing else but bodily food; just as when he cautioned them against the leaven of the Sadducees and Pharisees, they imagined he said it, because they had taken no bread; whereas he meant the doctrine of these persons: so dull of understanding spiritual things were the disciples themselves, that it is not so much to be wondered at that the Samaritan woman, whilst in her carnal state, when Christ spoke of living water, should understand him of material water, or spring water.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hath any man brought him ... - This is one of the many instances in which the disciples were slow to understand the Saviour.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 33. Hath any man brought him aught to eat? — Has he got food in any preternatural way? They could not help remembering the miraculous interventions of Divine providence in feeding Elijah by the ravens, at the brook Cherith, 1 Kings 17:4-6, and by the ministry of an angel, 1 Kings 19:5-8, and our Lord's preternatural repast in the wilderness, after his victory over Satan, Matthew 4:11.
