Matthew 14:16
Give ye them to eat (dote autoiv umeiv fagein). The emphasis is on umeiv in contrast (note position) with their "send away" (apoluson). It is the urgent aorist of instant action (dote). It was an astounding command. The disciples were to learn that "no situation appears to Him desperate, no crisis unmanageable" (Bruce).
