This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I fed (ἐπότισα)
Lit., I gave you to drink. An instance of the rhetorical figure zeugma, by which one verb is attached to two nouns, of which it only suits the meaning of one, but suggests a verb suitable for the other. Thus “gave to drink” is applied to meat as well as to milk. For another illustration see hindering (A.V. and Rev., forbidding), 1Ti 4:3.
