Commentary on Mark 6:56

Theological / Devotional

Whithersoever he entered. This statement seems to imply the passage of a period of time, and is either a summary statement of experiences during the weeks preceding, or of what took place for several days or weeks after the feeding of the 5,000. The feeding of the 5,000 took place shortly before the Passover (see John 6:4; cf. DA 364, 388). Evidently, then, this passage more likely refers to Jesus’ ministry between the time of His feeding the 5,000 and His departure for Syrophoenicia.

Streets. Literally, “market places,” which were in the streets of the towns and villages (see on Matt. 11:16).
