Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 1:35
And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.A great while before day ... Christ gave the top of the day to meditation and prayer, and his followers could do no better than to follow his example. It might be speculated that Christ arose thus early to escape the applause of men so profusely available following his miracles, but there was the far more important message of the kingdom to be advertised; and Christ's... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 1:36
And Simon and they that were with him followed after him; and they found him, and say unto him, All are seeking thee.They that were with him ... would mean at least the other three disciples called in this chapter. Luke reported in this context the coming of a multitude who sought to restrain Christ's departure from them (Luke 4:42). read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 1:38
And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth. And he went into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons.The extent and duration of this journey must have been considerable. Josephus relates that there were nearly 200 villages in the area, each with several thousand inhabitants. Christ's words here indicated the priority of preaching over the work of healing the sick and casting out... read more

Mark 1:38. The next towns— The neighbouring towns. Inferences.—Respecting John the Baptist and our Saviour's baptism, see the Inferences on Matthew 3:0.; and on our Saviour's choice of his disciples, &c. we shall enlarge in the Inferences on Luke 5:0. Let us at present contemplate the great Redeemer of our souls, giving us a proof of his divine power to heal our spiritual defilements, by curing the leper who applied to him. Our souls are overspread with the leprosy of sin, and where should... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 1:35
35. And in the morning—that is, of the day after this remarkable sabbath; or, on the first day of the week. His choosing this day to inaugurate a new and glorious stage of His public work, should be noted by the reader. rising up a great while before day—"while it was yet night," or long before daybreak. he went out—all unperceived from Peter's house, where He slept. and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed—or, "continued in prayer." He was about to begin His first preaching and... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 1:36
36. And Simon and they that were with him followed after him—rather, "pressed after Him." Luke (Luke 4:42) says, "The multitudes sought after Him"; but this would be a party from the town. Mark, having his information from Peter himself, speaks only of what related directly to him. "They that were with him" would probably be Andrew his brother, James and John, with a few other choice brethren. read more

37. And when they had found him—evidently after some search. they said unto him, All men seek for thee—By this time, "the multitudes" who, according to Luke (Luke 4:42), "sought after Him"—and who, on going to Peter's house, and there learning that Peter and a few more were gone in search of Him, had set out on the same errand—would have arrived, and "came unto Him and stayed Him, that He should not depart from them" (Luke 4:42); all now urging His return to their impatient townsmen. read more
