Markos 6:36 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:36

Send them away
Leave off preaching, dismiss the assembly; see ( Matthew 14:15 ) ;

that they may go into the country round about;
or "into the fields"; that is, to the odd houses; which were here and there in the fields; (See Gill on Mark 5:14);

and into the villages;
the little country towns that were near at hand:

and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat;
they brought no provisions with them, and there were none to be had in that desert place; and it was high time they had some refreshment; for the usual time of dining was past, the first evening was come, the day was on the decline, and was far spent.

Markos 6:36 In-Context

34 And having gotten out of the sirah (boat), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw a large multitude and he had rachmei shomayim (heavenly mercy) on them, for they were KATSON ASHER AIN LAHEM ROEH (like sheep without a shepherd), and he began with his torah to teach them many things. (BAMIDBAR 27:17; MELACHIM ALEF 22:17; DIVREY HAYAMIM BAIS 18:16; YECHEZKEL 34:8)

35 And when it was already a late hour, his talmidim came up to him and were saying, This place is desolate and already [it is] late.

36 Send them away, that, having departed to the surrounding farms and shtetlach, they may buy for themselves okhel (food) they may eat.

37 But in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, You yourselves give them [something] to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and spend two hundred denarii for lechem and give to them to eat? [MELACHIM BAIS 4:42-44]

38 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, How much lechem do you have? Go [and] see. And knowing, the talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach say, Chamesh (five), and dagim, shenayim (two).
