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
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 45-56Verses 45-56 See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 14:22-36. Mark 6:52 They considered not the miracle of the loaves - They did not remember or call to mind the “power” which Jesus had shown in feeding the five thousand by a miracle, and that, having done that, he had power also to save them from the storm.

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

• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 5656. and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment--having heard, no doubt, of what the woman with the issue of blood experienced on doing so (Mr 5:25-29), and perhaps of other unrecorded cases of the same nature. and as many as touched him--or "it"--the border of His garment. were made whole--All this they continued to do and to experience while our Lord was in that region.
