Mark 6:56 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:56

And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or
country
Whether in smaller towns, or larger cities, or the fields, where were houses, here and there one:

they laid the sick in the streets;
or "markets", in any public places:

and besought him that they but might touch the border of his
garment;
if they might not be admitted to touch his person, or he did not choose to lay his hands on them:

and as many as touched him;
or "it", the border of his garment, as they desired:

were made whole;
of whatsoever sickness, or disease, they were afflicted with; (See Gill on Matthew 14:36).

Mark 6:56 In-Context

54 And when they had come out of the boat, straightway the people recognized Him,
55 and ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry on beds those who were sick to where they heard He was.
56 And whithersoever He entered, into villages or cities or the country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought Him that they might touch even the border of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made whole.
