Context of Mark 1:35

34Jesus caused many sick people to become well. They had many different kinds of illness. He also caused many bad spirits to leave people. The spirits knew who he was. So Jesus did not let them speak. Jesus got up very early the next morning, while it was still dark. He went to a place where he could be alone. He prayed there. 36Simon and the other disciples went to look for him. 37When they found him, they said, ‘Everyone is looking for you.’

Commentaries on Mark 1:35

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 35In the morning a great while before day - By ̈́, the morning, is to be understood the whole space of three hours, which finished the fourth watch of the night. And there prayed - Not that he needed any thing, for in him dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; but that he might be a pattern to us. Every thing that our blessed Lord did he performed either as our pattern, or as our sacrifice.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 35-37Verses 35-37 And in the morning, rising up a great while before day - Luke says Luke 4:42, “when it was day.” The passage in Mark means, in the original, not literally “a great while before day,” but very early, or while there was yet “much appearance of night.” The place in Luke means “at daybreak,” at the beginning of day. Then, also, there is much appearance of night; and Luke and Mark therefore refer to the same time before it was fully light, or just…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 29-39Verses 29-39 Wherever Christ comes, he comes to do good. He cures, that we may minister to him, and to others who are his, and for his sake.
