χορτάζοσθε, from χόρτος, see note James 1:11, and for the verb note on Matthew 5:6 in this series. First of cattle, ‘to feed,’ βοσκημάτων δίκην … βόσκονται χορταζόμενοι, Plato, Rep. 586: then, as a coarse comic word, of man, ‘to eat.’ In later Greek χορτάζειν means to satisfy, so frequently in synoptic gospels; elsewhere in N.T. only here and John 6:26; Philippians 4:12; Revelation 19:21.
