This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And when the day began to wear away
Omit when. Render, and the day began, etc. To wear away (κλίνειν). Lit., to decline. Wyc., very literally, to bow down.
Lodge (καταλύσωσιν)
Peculiar to Luke. Primarily the verb means to break up or dissolve. Hence often in New Testament to destroy (Mat 5:17; Mar 13:2). Intransitively, to take up one's quarters; lodge; either because the harness of the travellers' horses is loosed, or because the fastenings of their garments are untied. The kindred word κατάλυμα, a guest-chamber, occurs, Mar 14:14; or inn, Luk 2:7.
Victuals (ἐπισιτισμόν)
Only here in New Testament. Properly a stock of provisions. Thus Xenophon. “Cyrus hastened the whole journey, except when he halted in order to furnish himself with supplies” (ἐπισιτισμοῦ ἕνεκα).
Desert (ἔρημῳ)
See on Mat 14:15.
