Commentaries on Mark 6:56
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 56Villages - Probably small towns near cities. Country - Villages at a distance from cities and large public towns. See the notes on Matthew 14:34-36; (note). Christ went about doing good - he confined his ministry and miracles to no place - wherever he went, they stood in need of his help; and whenever they required his assistance, they had it granted immediately. Our Lord's conduct, in these respects, is a perfect pattern for every preacher of his Gospel.Read the comment

And no difficulties can hinder Christ's appearance for his people, when the set time is come. He silenced their fears, by making himself known to them. Our fears are soon satisfied, if our…Read the comment
