In those days This phrase situates the narrative within a specific time frame, indicating a continuation of events in the life and ministry of Jesus. The Greek phrase "ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις" (en ekeinais tais hēmerais) suggests a period of active ministry, possibly during Jesus' time in the region of the Decapolis, as described in the preceding chapters. Historically, this was a time of great expectation and messianic hope among the Jewish people, as they awaited deliverance from Roman oppression. the crowd being very great and having nothing to eat Jesus called His disciples to Him and said (1) In those days.--See Notes on Matthew 15:32-38 Verses 1, 2. - The opening words of the first verse seem to imply that our Lord remained for some time on this, the north-east, side of the Sea of Galilee. The multitude being very great. The word here rendered "very great" is παμπόλλου, a word not to be found anywhere else in the New Testament. But according to the best authorities, the true reading is πάλιν πόλλου; so that the words would run, when there was again a great multitude. It has been supposed with some reason that, as an old ecclesiastical Lection began with this chapter, this may have led to the substitution of παμπόλλου for πάλιν πόλλου, in order to make the Lection more complete in itself, avoiding this reference to the context. In the original Greek construction the word ὄχλος, in the singular, is disintegrated in the next clause by a passage into the plural (καὶ μὴ ἐχόντων τί φάγουσι). This is properly marked in the Revised Version by the words, a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat. Our Lord has compassion on them. He desires not only to heal the sick, but to feed the hungry. We may here notice the burning zeal of the multitude. They were so intent upon hearing Christ, that they forgot to provide themselves with the necessaries of life. They continued with him for three days and had nothing to eat. Whatever small supplies they might have Brought with them at first were now exhausted; and still they remained, "esteeming his words to be more than their necessary food." Our Lord on his part was so. full of zeal for their good, that during all that time, with little interval, he had been preaching to them, denying himself rest, refreshment, and sleep. So true were those words of his, "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work."Parallel Commentaries ... Greek InἘν (En) Preposition Strong's 1722: In, on, among.
