This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
On the sabbath day through the cornfields (tois sabbasin dia tōn sporimōn). This paragraph begins exactly like Mat 11:25 “at that season” (en ekeinōi tōi kairōi), a general statement with no clear idea of time. So also Mat 14:1. The word kairos means a definite and particular time, but we cannot fix it. The word “cornfields” does not mean our maize or Indian corn, but simply fields of grain (wheat or even barley).
