SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:13

Y les dice: Dadles vosotros de comer. Y dijeron ellos: No tenemos m�s que cinco panes y dos pescados, si no vamos nosotros a comprar viandas para toda esta multitud.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. And he said to them, give ye them to eat , etc.] Signifying, that it was not his will to dismiss people, and send them scattering abroad into the adjacent cities, towns, or houses; and that there was no need of it, but that his will was, that they should be supplied with provisions out of their stock: and they said, we have no more than five loaves and two fishes ; and these loaves were barley loaves, and the fishes small, ( John 6:9) except we should go and buy meat for all this people ; which would at least cost them two hundred pence; and which they represent as impossible to be done, either through want of so much money, or the scarcity of provision in those parts; where, had they money, it would be difficult, at least to get such a quantity of provisions at once, which so great a number of persons required.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 10-17 - The people followed Jesus, and though they came unseasonably, yet he gave them what they came for. He spake unto them of the kingdom of God He healed those who had need of healing. And with five loaves of brea and two fishes, Christ fed five thousand men. He will not see thos that fear him, and serve him faithfully, want any good thing. When we receive creature-comforts, we must acknowledge that we receive the from God, and that we are unworthy to receive them; that we owe the all, and all the comfort we have in them, to the mediation of Christ by whom the curse is taken away. The blessing of Christ will make little go a great way. He fills every hungry soul, abundantly satisfie it with the goodness of his house. Here were fragments taken up: in ou Father's house there is bread enough, and to spare. We are no straitened, nor stinted in Christ.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

13. Give ye. The ye emphatic, closing the sentence in the Greek order. See on Matt. xiv. 15.

Buy food. Compare Mark vi. 37.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

9:13 {Except we should go and buy food} (ei meti poreuqentes hemeis agoraswmen brwmata). this is a condition of the third class with the aorist subjunctive (agoraswmen), where the conjunction is usually ean (with negative ean me), but not always or necessarily so especially in the _Koin�_. So in #1Co 14:5 ei me diermeneuei and in #Php 3:12 ei kai katalabw. "Unless" is better here than "except." {Food} (brwmata), means eaten pieces from bibrwskw, to eat, somewhat like our "edibles" or vernacular "eats."
