Verse 1b reads‚ “His disciples were hungry‚ and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.” What was Jesus’ reason for walking through the fields? Was it just a shortcut to his next mission or was it for other reasons? We know that Jesus was sensitive to the need of the people.

It helps Baldwin to emphasize the presence of sin and to further develop the protagonist‚ John. 2.
