{When evening came} (h(9373) opsia egeneto). "The late hour"
(h(9372)a understood), and so in late Greek the adjective is used
as a substantive. It is late evening (real evening), not the
early evening in mid-afternoon ( Mt 14:15 ). The disciples were
in no hurry to start back to Bethsaida in Galilee ( Mr 6:45 ),
Capernaum in John ( Joh 6:17 ).
