Mark 6:36 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:36

Send them away
Leave off preaching, dismiss the assembly; see ( Matthew 14:15 ) ;

that they may go into the country round about;
or "into the fields"; that is, to the odd houses; which were here and there in the fields; (See Gill on Mark 5:14);

and into the villages;
the little country towns that were near at hand:

and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat;
they brought no provisions with them, and there were none to be had in that desert place; and it was high time they had some refreshment; for the usual time of dining was past, the first evening was come, the day was on the decline, and was far spent.

Mark 6:36 In-Context

34 And Jesus went out, and saw much people, and had ruth on them [And Jesus going out saw much people, and had mercy on them], for they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

35 And when it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and the time is now passed [and now the hour hath passed];

36 let them go into the next towns and villages, to buy them(selves) meat to eat. [leave them, that they going into the next towns and villages, buy to them meats that they shall eat.]

37 And he answered, and said to them, Give ye them to eat [Give ye to them for to eat]. And they said to him, Go we, and buy we loaves with two hundred pence, and we shall give them [for] to eat.

38 And he saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go ye, and see. And when they had known, they say, Five, and two fishes.
