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 6:35-44

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

And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments ,.... Of the broken pieces of bread, after all had eaten, and were satisfied: and of the fishes ; what remained of them:, for though there was but one loaf for a thousand persons and more, and two small fishes to be divided among five thousand and more: yet, through the wonderful power of Christ increasing both, as they were distributing and eating, there was enough of both for them all, and such a quantity of each left as filled... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 6:45

And straightway he constrained his disciples ,.... The reasons of this is See Gill on Matthew 14:22 , to get into the ship ; in which they came to this place, and which was waiting for them: and to go to the other side before unto Bethsaida ; or rather "to go to the other side over against Bethsaida"; for they were now in a desert belonging to that city, wherefore they were ordered to go, and did go to the other side of the sea of Tiberias, or Galilee, even to Capernaum, as appears... read more

And when even was come ,.... The second evening, and it was properly night: the ship was in the midst of the sea ; of Galilee, about twenty five or thirty furlongs from the shore; see John 6:19 ; and he alone on the land ; upon the mountain. This is observed, partly to show what distress the disciples were in, in the midst of the sea, having a hard gale of wind, and their master not with them; and partly to show that there was no way, humanly speaking, of Christ's getting to the... read more
