What does Mark 6:45 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Mark 6:45
And straightway he constrained his disciples
The reasons of this is (See Gill on Matthew
14:22),
to get into the ship;
in which they came to this place, and which was waiting for them:
and to go to the other side before unto
Bethsaida;
or rather "to go to the other side over against Bethsaida"; for
they were now in a desert belonging to that city, wherefore they
were ordered to go, and did go to the other side of the sea of
Tiberias, or Galilee, even to Capernaum, as appears from (
John 6:17
John 6:24
John 6:25 ) ;
while he sent away the people; (See Gill on Matthew 14:22).
