SCRIPTURE

"But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not." — John 4:32 (ASV)

I have meat to eat that you know not of.—The emphasis is on the pronouns, which are opposed to each other. “Meat” is better rendered food (see Note on John 4:8). The Greek word here is the same as in John 6:27; John 6:55.
