Marcos 8:3

3 Si los envío a sus casas con hambre, se desmayarán en el camino porque algunos han venido desde muy lejos.

Marcos 8:3 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 8:3

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses
Greek, "to their own house", or home; but all the Oriental versions render it as we do, in the plural, "their own houses", or habitations; and it seems from hence that they were now tasting, and at least had had no food all that day, whatever they might have the day before, which it not certain.

They will faint by the way;
for want of food their strength will be exhausted, their animal spirits will fail, their nerves will be loosened, they will not be able to perform their journey, or get to the end of it:

for divers of them came from far;
perhaps some had followed him from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, from whence he came last; and others from Decapolis, through the midst of the borders of which he passed hither; and others from different parts, who had heard of his coming; (See Gill on Matthew 15:32).

Marcos 8:3 In-Context

1 Jesús alimenta a cuatro mil
En esos días, se reunió otra gran multitud, y de nuevo la gente quedó sin alimentos. Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo:

2 —Siento compasión por ellos. Han estado aquí conmigo durante tres días y no les queda nada para comer.

3 Si los envío a sus casas con hambre, se desmayarán en el camino porque algunos han venido desde muy lejos.

4 Sus discípulos respondieron:
—¿Cómo vamos a conseguir comida suficiente para darles de comer aquí en el desierto?

5 —¿Cuánto pan tienen? —preguntó Jesús.
—Siete panes —contestaron ellos.
