It is already very late. This was the "first evening," from 3 to 6 P.M. The "second evening" began at sundown (6 P.M.). It would soon be dark and they must get their food before sunset. This is a lonely place. There were no farmhouses in Palestine. The people lived in villages, and farmers often went many miles to their fields. Jesus and the crowds are probably out on the narrow plain of El-Batihah. They must go to inhabited areas to buy food.
