“Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No.”
Jesus said to them, 'Children, you have no fish, have you?' They answered him, 'No' — Jesus addresses them as 'children' (paidia), a term of affectionate address affirming their dependent status. His question presupposes their failure and prepares them for the instruction that follows. The disciples' direct 'No' acknowledges futility and readies them for divine intervention.
