Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 6:30-44

In there verses, we have, I. The return to Christ of the apostles whom he had sent forth (Mark 6:7), to preach, and work miracles. They had dispersed themselves into several quarters of the country for some time, but when they had made good their several appointments, by consent they gathered themselves together, to compare notes, and came to Jesus, the centre of their unity, to give him an account of what they had done pursuant to their commission: as the servant that was sent to invite to... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 6:45-56

This passage of story we had Matt. 14:22; only what was there related concerning Peter, is omitted here. Here we have, I. The dispersing of the assembly; Christ constrained his disciples to go before by ship to Bethsaida, intending to follow them, as they supposed, by land. The people were loth to scatter, so that it cost him some time and pains to send them away. For now that they had got a good supper, they were in no haste to leave him. But as long as we are here in this world, we have no... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 6:30-34

6:30-34 The apostles came together again to Jesus, and they told him all that they had done and taught. He said to them, "Come you by yourselves into a lonely place, and rest for a while." For there were many coming and going and they could not find time even to eat. So they went away in the boat to a lonely place all by themselves. Now many saw them going away and recognized them; and they ran together there on foot from all the towns and went on ahead of them. When Jesus disembarked he saw... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 6:35-44

6:35-44 When it was now late the disciples came to Jesus. "The place," they said, "is lonely, and it is now late. Send them away that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat." He answered, "You give them something to eat." "Are we," they said to him, "to go away and buy ten pounds worth of loaves and so give them something to eat?" "How many loaves have you?" he said to them. "Go and see!" When they had found out, they said, "Five and two... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 6:45-52

6:45-52 Immediately he made the disciples embark on the boat and go across ahead to Bethsaida while he sent the crowd away. When he had taken leave of them, he went away into a mountain to pray. When it was late the boat was half way across the lake and Jesus was alone upon the land. He saw that they were sore beset as they rowed, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them walking on the sea, and it looked as if he meant to pass them by. When they saw... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:32

And they departed into a desert place ,.... Which belonged to the city of Bethsaida, Luke 9:10 , by ship, privately ; over some part of the sea of Tiberias, this place lying on a more remote side of it. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:33

And the people saw them departing ,.... The multitude that came to and fro, saw Christ and his disciples taking ship, and launching off; for though they were as private as could be, and intended to have gone in a very private manner, yet the people observed them: and many knew him : Jesus; some copies read, "them"; and so do the Syriac and Ethiopic versions; they knew both Christ and his disciples, though they were in the ship, and at some distance: and ran afoot thither out of all... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:34

And Jesus, when he came out ,.... Of the ship, and was got ashore, saw much people ; who came partly from the places where he came from, and partly from the cities and towns adjacent: and was moved with compassion towards them ; See Gill on Matthew 14:14 , the reason follows, because they were as sheep, not having a shepherd . Christ observed, that they were hungering and thirsting after the word of righteousness, and had no faithful, spiritual pastors to feed them with... read more

And when the day was now far spent ,.... Or "much time was gone", in teaching the people, and healing the sick: his disciples came unto him ; nearer to him, as he was preaching, or healing the sick; and said, this is a desert place, and now the time is far passed ; See Gill on Matthew 14:15 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:36

Send them away ,.... Leave off preaching, dismiss the assembly; see Matthew 14:15 ; that they may go into the country round about ; or "into the fields"; that is, to the odd houses; which were here and there in the fields; See Gill on Mark 5:14 ; and into the villages ; the little country towns that were near at hand: and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat ; they brought no provisions with them, and there were none to be had in that desert place; and it was... read more
