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 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they hurried there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.
34 As he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35 When it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is now very late;
36 send them away so that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy something for themselves to eat."
37 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?"
