Exegesis
A coordinating clause introduced by kai tines auton {καί τινες αὐτῶν | kaí tínes autōn} ‘and some of them’ is modified by apo makrothen {ἀπὸ μακρόθεν | apó makróthen} ‘from afar’ and completed by the perfect hekasn {ἥκασιν | hēkasin} ‘they have come,’ providing background that underscores their lengthy journey. The structure highlights the speaker’s concern for the hungry crowd and the genuine risk they face.

If I send them away to their homes without eating, they will faint along the way ; and some of them have come from far away.
