From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 15. The time is now past. That is, the day is passing away; it is near night; and it is proper to make some provision for the temporal wants of so many. Perhaps it may mean, it was past the usual time for refreshment. See Barnes on "Mt 14:13" __________________________________________________________________
