“And they did eat and drink, he and the men that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the morning, and he said, Send me away unto my master.”
Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night there. The servant finally eats — after the mission is complete, after the worship is offered, after the gifts are given. The meal that was deferred in verse 33 is now enjoyed. The application: the meal after the mission is completed is sweeter than the meal before it. The servant's delayed satisfaction makes the moment of eating a celebration of the completed work.
