Context of Mark 6:33

31And He said to them, “Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.” For there were many coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat. 32So they departed to a deserted place in the boat by themselves. But the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him. 34And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things. 35When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, “This is a deserted place, and already the hour is late.

Commentaries on Mark 6:33

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 33The people - Or, , 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 the comment

The people sought the spiritual food of Christ's word, and then he took care that they should not want bodily food. If Christ and his disciples put up with mean things, surely…Read the comment

As they moved, the crowds could still see them along the shore. many people: The large crowds show the success of the apostles' mission and the greatness of Jesus, whom the apostles represented.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 3333. 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…Read the comment
