Commentators note that the disciples' request was not a casual suggestion. The original Greek implies they 'kept beseeching him' to eat. This highlights their genuine and persistent concern for Jesus's physical well-being, knowing He was weary from travel. Their care for their Rabbi, though focused on the physical, is a touching display of love.
