314. These words were addressed by Allah Almighty to all the followers, not just the disciples, i.e. anyone after seeing this miracle and rejects it will be severely punished.
315. From this, we learn that if you ask for a miracle and then fail to bring faith after seeing it, will bring the punishment of Allah. Abu Jahl had asked for a number of miracles which were shown to him, but though he rejected faith, no punishment followed. This was because Allah Almighty says "And Allah, will not punish them whilst you are amongst them." (S8 V33)

The tafsir of Surah Maidah verse 115 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Maidah ayat 112 which provides the complete commentary from verse 112 through 115.
(5:115) Allah said: ‘I shall indeed send it down to you;[129] then, I shall afflict whoever among you who disbelieves with a chastisement wherewith I will afflict none in the worlds.’
129. The Qur’an is silent on the question of whether this meal was sent down in response to this prayer. There is also no other authoritative basis to help us arrive at a clear conclusion. It is possible that the repast was actually sent down. It is also possible that the disciples withdrew their prayer after hearing the stern warning in response to it.
