Marcos 6:33 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 6:33

And the people saw them departing
The multitude that came to and fro, saw Christ and his disciples taking ship, and launching off; for though they were as private as could be, and intended to have gone in a very private manner, yet the people observed them:

and many knew him:
Jesus; some copies read, "them"; and so do the Syriac and Ethiopic versions; they knew both Christ and his disciples, though they were in the ship, and at some distance:

and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and out went them, and came
together unto him;
they went on foot, as they might from Capernaum, Nazareth, and the parts adjacent, over the bridge at Chammath of Gadara, to this place, that belonged to Bethsaida; whither they perceived they steered, and made such haste, that they got thither before them; and the people that flocked from several cities met together, and came to Jesus, to hear his doctrine, and see his miracles,

Marcos 6:33 In-Context

31 Y como no tenían tiempo ni para comer, pues era tanta la gente que iba y venía, Jesús les dijo:—Vengan conmigo ustedes solos a un lugar tranquilo y descansen un poco.

32 Así que se fueron solos en la barca a un lugar solitario.

33 Pero muchos que los vieron salir los reconocieron y, desde todos los poblados, corrieron por tierra hasta allá y llegaron antes que ellos.

34 Cuando Jesús desembarcó y vio tanta gente, tuvo compasión de ellos, porque eran como ovejas sin pastor. Así que comenzó a enseñarles muchas cosas.

35 Cuando ya se hizo tarde, se le acercaron sus discípulos y le dijeron:—Este es un lugar apartado y ya es muy tarde.
