         Glosses: to have breakfast

         Comments: Some scholars, however, interpret ἀριστάω in {S:04302101200012} as meaning any kind of meal (see {L:ἀριστάω}[a], {D:23.20}), and therefore one would translate as ‘Jesus said to them, Come have something to eat’ or ‘… have a meal.’|In a number of languages the earlier meal of the day may be spoken of as ‘the morning meal’ or ‘the first meal.’ In some languages it is actually called ‘the leftovers meal,’ but see the discussion on meals at different times of the day at {D:23.25}.
