Mark 1:36 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:36

And Simon, and they that were with him
Peter, and his brother Andrew, together with James and John,

followed after him;
some time after he was gone; for he privately withdrew from them, so that they might not be aware when he went, nor apprized of his departure, for some considerable time; which when they were, they set out, in diligent search, and eager pursuit after him, until they found him.

38 And he saith unto them, Let us go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth.
