MATTHEW 14:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.”
Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said: this is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves. The disciples' practical assessment — desolate place, late hour, hungry crowd — produces the practical suggestion: send them away to buy food. The suggestion is reasonable but reveals the disciples' failure to connect Jesus' compassion with the possibility of provision. The one who healed their sick is capable of more than the disciples recognize.
