Mark 6:29 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:29

And when his disciples heard of it
That is, when the disciples of John heard of this barbarous execution of their master,

they came;
to the prison in the castle of Machaerus,

and took up his corpse;
the trunk of his body; for his head was carried away, to glut the revenge of Herodias;

and laid it in a tomb; (See Gill on Matthew 14:12).

28 et adtulit caput eius in disco et dedit illud puellae et puella dedit matri suae
29 quo audito discipuli eius venerunt et tulerunt corpus eius et posuerunt illud in monumento
30 et convenientes apostoli ad Iesum renuntiaverunt illi omnia quae egerant et docuerant
31 et ait illis venite seorsum in desertum locum et requiescite pusillum erant enim qui veniebant et rediebant multi et nec manducandi spatium habebant
