Exegesis
The following clause kai ouk echousin ti phagosin {καὶ οὐκ ἔχουσιν τί φάγωσιν | kaì ouk É-khou-sin tí FÁ-gō-sin} adds their lack of food, using the subjunctive phagosin to speak of eating as a potential action that cannot occur.
In context — Matthew 15:32
But Jesus , having called His disciples, said, “I have compassion upon the crowd , because they have already remained with Me three days and do not have anything that they might eat. And I do not want to send them away fasting, lest they might faint on the way.”
