On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, Rev. ii. Christ would by no means have them go home fasting, for it is not his manner to send those empty way from him, that in a right manner attend on him. The doubts of Christians are sometimes made to work for the magnifying of the power of Christ.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way--In their eagerness they seem not to have thought of the need of provisions for such a length of time; but the Lord thought of it. In Matthew (Mt 15:32) it is, "I will not send them away fasting"--or rather, "To send them away fasting I am unwilling."
