John 4:33

4:33 So the disciples began to say to one another, “No one brought him anything to eat, did they?”

tn An ingressive imperfect conveys the idea that Jesus’ reply provoked the disciples’ response.

tn The direct object of ἤνεγκεν (hnenken) in Greek is understood; “anything” is supplied in English.

tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here it is “did they?”).
