“They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
Matthew 14:16, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
The disciples have just asked Jesus to send the crowd away to buy food, since the place is remote and the hour is late. Jesus answers with a command that sounds impossible: "You give them something to eat." He is not denying the need but drawing the disciples into meeting it, and the next verses show that the provision will come through Him.
