Matthew 21:18
In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.
BSB
ASV
Now in the morning as he returned to the city, he hungered.
KJV
Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungered.
(Verse 18) But when he returned to the city in the morning, he was hungry. After the darkness of the night had dispersed, as the morning light shone and midday approached, during which the Lord was going to illuminate the world by means of his passion, when he returned to the city, he was hungry. Whether to reveal the truth of his human flesh or to hunger for the salvation of believers and to burn with incredulity towards the Jews.
Now in the morning, as he returned into the city - Which was his custom from the time he wholly left Jerusalem, spending only the day time teaching in the temple; see Mat 21:17. This was probably on Thursday, the 12th day of the month Nisan. He hungered - Probably neither he, nor his disciples, had any thing but what they got from public charity; and the hand of that seems to have been cold at this time.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
