John 4:31

29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”

30 So they left the town and made their way toward Jesus.

Meanwhile the disciples urged Him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32 But He told them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33 So the disciples asked one another, “Could someone have brought Him food?”
