A thought from Barnes:
"Something should be given her to eat - “He had raised her by extraordinary power, but he willed that she should be sustained by ordinary means.” He also in this gave full evidence that she was really restored to life and health. The changes were great, sudden, and certain. There could be no illusion. So, when the Saviour had risen, he gave evidence of his own resurrection by eating with his disciples, Joh_21:1-13."
Jesus was such a mix of hard/soft, spiritual/practical, a fascinating blend of qualities. I love the way he thinks to feed her, physically sustain her here. It definitely speak to the thought that his concern was not wholly just her spirit but her body as well.
