Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:32

32. And they departed into a desert place by ship privately—"over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias," says John ( :-), the only one of the Evangelists who so fully describes it; the others having written when their readers were supposed to know something of it, while the last wrote for those at a greater distance of time and place. This "desert place" is more definitely described by Luke (Luke 9:10) as "belonging to the city called Bethsaida." This must not be confounded with the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:33

33. And the people—the multitudes. saw them departing, and many knew him—The true reading would seem to be: "And many saw them departing, and knew or recognized [them]." and ran afoot—Here, perhaps, it should be rendered "by land"—running round by the head of the lake, and taking one of the fords of the river, so as to meet Jesus, who was crossing with the Twelve by ship. thither out of all cities, and outwent them—got before them. and came together unto him—How exceedingly graphic is this!... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:34

34. And Jesus, when he came out of the ship—having gone on shore. saw much people—a great multitude. and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd—At the sight of the multitudes who had followed Him by land and even got before Him, He was so moved, as was His wont in such cases, with compassion, because they were like shepherdless sheep, as to forego both privacy and rest that He might minister to them. Here we have an important piece of information... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:35

35. And when the day was now far spent—"began to wear away" or "decline," says Luke (Luke 9:12). Matthew (Matthew 14:15) says, "when it was evening"; and yet he mentions a later evening of the same day (Mark 6:23). This earlier evening began at three P.M.; the latter began at sunset. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:36

36. Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat—John tells us (John 6:5; John 6:6) that "Jesus said to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? (And this He said to prove him: for He Himself knew what He would do)." The subject may have been introduced by some remark of the disciples; but the precise order and form of what was said by each can hardly be gathered with precision, nor is... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:37

37. He answered and said unto them—"They need not depart" ( :-). Give ye them to eat—doubtless said to prepare them for what was to follow. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?—"Philip answered Him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little" (John 6:7). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:38

38. He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes—John is more precise and full: "One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto Him, There is a lad here which hath five barley loaves and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?" (John 6:8; John 6:9). Probably this was the whole stock of provisions then at the command of the disciples—no more than enough for one meal to them—and entrusted for the time to... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:40

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:41

41. And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven—Thus would the most distant of them see distinctly what He was doing. and blessed—John ( :-) says, "And when he had given thanks." The sense is the same. This thanksgiving for the meal, and benediction of it as the food of thousands, was the crisis of the miracle. and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them—thus virtually holding forth these men as His future ministers. and the two... read more
