Marcos 1:35 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:35

And in the morning, rising up a great white before day,
&c.] On the morrow after the sabbath, on the first day in the morning, notwithstanding the fatigue of the former day, through preaching and working miracles; yet he rose up very early while it was very much within the night, as the light and day were coming on, and before the day broke; though it might be broad day before he departed out of the house, as Luke suggests, ( Luke 4:42 ) ,

he went out;
out of the house of Simon and Andrew, and out of the city of Capernaum, leaving his disciples and friends behind him:

and departed into a solitary place, and there he prayed;
as man, to his God and Father; it may be for his disciples he had lately chosen; for himself, as man, that he might be strengthened as such for service; and for success in his ministry, and that his Gospel might run and be glorified; he chose a desert, and solitary place, for the sake of retirement, from the crowd of people that attended at Peter's door; where he could not be alone, and in private, and as most suitable for the exercise of prayer. His early and private devotion may be an example to us.

Marcos 1:35 In-Context

33 e toda a cidade estava reunida � porta;

34 e ele curou muitos doentes atacados de diversas moléstias, e expulsou muitos demônios; mas não permitia que os demônios falassem, porque o conheciam.

35 De madrugada, ainda bem escuro, levantou-se, saiu e foi a um lugar deserto, e ali orava.

36 Foram, pois, Simão e seus companheiros procurá-lo;

37 quando o encontraram, disseram-lhe: Todos te buscam.
