Commentary

Commentary on Mark 6:35

Theological / Devotional

Now far spent. Luke says that “the day began to wear away” (ch. 9:12), literally, “to bend,” “to bow,” or “to incline itself” (see on v. 12). This would be between about 3 o’clock in the afternoon and sunset. The record implies that Jesus, His disciples, and the people had been without either food or rest during the entire day.

A desert place. See on v. 31.

The time is far passed. The Greek here is practically identical with that found previously in v. 35 and translated “the day was now far spent.”
