{Three days} (h(886d)erai treis). A parenthetic nominative
(Robertson, _Grammar_, p. 460). {What to eat} (	i phag(9373)in).
Indirect question with the deliberative subjunctive retained. In
the feeding of the five thousand Jesus took compassion on the
people and healed their sick ( 14:14 ). Here the hunger of the
multitude moves him to compassion (splagchnizomai, in both
instances). So he is unwilling (ou thel(935c)) to send them away
hungry. {Faint} (ekluth(9373)in). Unloosed, (eklu(935c)) exhausted.
