Mark 6:35 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:35

And when the day was now far spent
Or "much time was gone", in teaching the people, and healing the sick:

his disciples came unto him;
nearer to him, as he was preaching, or healing the sick;

and said, this is a desert place, and now the time is far passed;
(See Gill on Matthew 14:15).

Mark 6:35 In-Context

33 But many people recognized them and saw them leaving, and people from many towns ran ahead along the shore and got there ahead of them.

34 Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.

35 Late in the afternoon his disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late.

36 Send the crowds away so they can go to the nearby farms and villages and buy something to eat.”

37 But Jesus said, “You feed them.” “With what?” they asked. “We’d have to work for months to earn enough money to buy food for all these people!”
