Mar 8:3 | JFB | STEP | 3. And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way-- In their eagerness they seem not to have thought of the need of provisions for such a length of time; but the Lord thought of it. In Matthew ( ) it is, "I will not send them away fasting"--or rather, "To send them away fasting I am unwilling."

‏ Mark 8:3

3. And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way--In their eagerness they seem not to have thought of the need of provisions for such a length of time; but the Lord thought of it. In Matthew (Mt 15:32) it is, "I will not send them away fasting"--or rather, "To send them away fasting I am unwilling."
