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

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

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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:33

The people - Or, οχλοι , the multitudes. This is wanting in many MSS., but it seems necessary to make the sense clear. There is scarcely a verse in the whole New Testament that has suffered so much from transcribers as this verse. Amidst the abundance of various readings, one can scarcely tell what its original state was. The various readings may be seen in Griesbach. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:30-44

No rest for Jesus. The twelve have fulfilled their brief mission of evangelization, have returned to their Master, and tell him of the incidents and results of their mission. Jesus takes occasion to rest, and to give them rest, and with this intent withdraws to a desert place. This passage shows us with what result. I. THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE Lord SEEKS RETIREMENT . 1 . Perhaps to escape from the notice of Herod, who, having heard of his fame, may seek to get him... read more

The miracle of the loaves. The apostles, having returned to Jesus after their first tour of healing and preaching, relate to him "all things whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught." Touched with consideration for them, Jesus withdraws them "apart into a desert place, to rest a while." But they could not be hid. The people saw them departing, and gathered, "from all the cities, a great multitude." To the eye of the Merciful they were "as sheep not having a shepherd," and... read more

He describes,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:33

This is very graphic. The Greek in the first part of this verse runs thus, according to the best authorities: καὶ εἶδον αὐτοὸς ὑπάγοντας καὶ ἐπέγνωσαν αὐτὸν πολλοί : And they — i.e. the people— saw them going, and many knew them . They saw them departing, and observed what direction the boat took, and then hastened thither on foot, and outwent them; and so were ready to meet them again on the opposite shore when they landed. The distance by land from the place where they... read more
