The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:31-34

The physical and spiritual food of man. Notice— I. THE FOOD OF THE BODY . "Master, eat." 1 . The body must have food. It is true that "man doth not live by bread alone," but it is quite as true that he cannot live without bread. Man's physical nature requires suitable physical support. If we wish to live, we must eat—eat to live, but. not live to eat. 2 . The body must have food at stated times. "In due season." There is physical waste, there is a continual... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:31-38

Jesus and his disciples. The surprise of the disciples at our Lord's talking with the woman at the well did not break forth into question; they rather resolved to bide their time for an explanation. I. THE SPIRITUAL MEAT OF THE SON OF GOD . "My meat is to do the will of my Father, and to finish his work." 1 . The disciples were naturally anxious to supply his bodily wants ; for they knew that he was both hungry and thirsty. 2 . The interview with the woman... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 4:32

But he saith to them, I have food to eat that ye know not; of which you are ignorant, but which you may come to know by and by. βρῶσιν and βρῶμα are both used. The first denotes, strictly speaking, the act of eating; and the second the material for food; but they are, in Greek literature, generally used almost interchangeably. There were Divine desires and sacred satisfactions which discriminated the Lord's consciousness from that of his disciples. Thoma refers to the mighty fasts of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 4:1-42

23. Jesus in Samaria (John 4:1-42)When the Pharisees saw the crowds following Jesus they took an increasing interest in him. No doubt they were becoming jealous and soon might become violent. Jesus therefore decided to leave Judea for Galilee (John 4:1-3).As Jesus approached one of the villages of Samaria, he began a conversation with a Samaritan woman whom he met at a well (John 4:4-9). The woman had a similar problem to Nicodemus in that she interpreted Jesus’ words literally instead of... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 4:31

In the meanwhile the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.This urgency on the part of the disciples that Jesus should eat might be the key to the excessive fatigue of Jesus. Perhaps Jesus, caught up in the glorious enthusiasm of the previous days of baptizing great numbers, had not eaten much. Certainly, there was some variation in the case with Jesus from that of his apostles; the apostles were concerned about it and insisted that Jesus eat. But it was not yet time for eating.
