“The disciples said
To Jesus.
‘Where are we to get
Enough bread
In the desert
To feed
So great a crowd?’”
καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί Πόθεν ἡμῖν ἐν ἐρημίᾳ ἄρτοι τοσοῦτοι ὥστε χορτάσαι ὄχλον τοσοῦτον;
Mark, chapter 8:4, has a similar statement about the disciples questioning Jesus. The disciples of Jesus asked him (καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταί) where they would get enough loaves of bread (Πόθεν ἡμῖν ἄρτοι τοσοῦτοι) to feed or satisfy such a great crowd (ὥστε χορτάσαι ὄχλον τοσοῦτον) in the desert (ἐν ἐρημίᾳ). In the earlier feeding of the 5,000, the place was deserted, while here it is a desert or uninhabited place also.
