'Eat' in the Bible

When the scribes and the Pharisees saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples, "Why does he eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

How was it that he went into the House of God during the lifetime of Abiathar the high priest and ate the Bread of the Presence, which was not lawful for anyone but the priests to eat, and gave some of it to his companions?"

Then he went home. Such a large crowd gathered again that Jesus and his disciples couldn't even eat.

But Jesus strictly ordered them not to let anyone know about this. He also told them to give her something to eat.

He told them, "Come away to a deserted place all by yourselves and rest for a while," because so many people were coming and going that they didn't even have time to eat.

Send the crowds away so that they can go to the neighboring farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat."

But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They asked him, "Should we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"

(The Pharisees and indeed all the Jewish people don't eat unless they wash their hands properly, following the tradition of their elders.

They don't eat anything from the marketplace unless they dip it in water. They also observe many other traditions, such as the proper washing of washing cups, jars, brass pots, and dinner tables.)

So the Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with unclean hands."

But she answered him, "Yes, Lord. Yet even the puppies under the table eat some of the children's crumbs."

At that time, after a large crowd again had gathered together with nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples and told them,

"I have compassion for the crowd, because they've already been with me for three days and have nothing to eat.

So he told it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again!" Now his disciples were listening to this.

On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover meal?"

When he goes into a house, say to its owner that the Teacher asks, "Where is my room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?'
