A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
THE TWELVE ON THEIR RETURN, HAVING REPORTED THE SUCCESS OF THEIR MISSION, JESUS CROSSES THE SEA OF GALILEE WITH THEM, TEACHES THE PEOPLE, AND MIRACULOUSLY FEEDS THEM TO THE NUMBER OF FIVE THOUSAND--HE SENDS HIS DISCIPLES BY SHIP AGAIN TO THE WESTERN SIDE, WHILE HE HIMSELF RETURNS AFTERWARDS WALKING ON THE SEA--INCIDENTS ON LANDING. ( = Mat. 14:13-36; Luk 9:10-17; John 6:1-24). (Mark 6:30-56) And the apostles gathered themselves together--probably at Capernaum, on returning from their mission (Mar 6:7-13). and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught--Observe the various reasons He had for crossing to the other side. First, Matthew (Mat 14:13) says, that "when Jesus heard" of the murder of His faithful forerunner--from those attached disciples of his who had taken up his body and laid it in a sepulchre (see on Mar 6:29) --"He departed by ship into a desert place apart"; either to avoid some apprehended consequences to Himself, arising from the Baptist's death (Mat 10:23), or more probably to be able to indulge in those feelings which that affecting event had doubtless awakened, and to which the bustle of the multitude around Him was very unfavorable. Next, since He must have heard the report of the Twelve with the deepest interest, and probably with something of the emotion which He experienced on the return of the Seventy (see on Luk 10:17-22), He sought privacy for undisturbed reflection on this begun preaching and progress of His kingdom. Once more, He was wearied with the multitude of "comers and goers"--depriving Him even of leisure enough to take His food--and wanted rest: "Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while," &c. Under the combined influence of all these considerations, our Lord sought this change.

¹⁷ And [1161] the seventy [1440] returned again [5290] with [3326] joy [5479], saying [3004], Lord [2962], even [2532] the devils [1140] are subject [5293] unto us [2254] through [1722] thy [4675] name [3686].
¹⁸ And [1161] he said [2036] unto them [846], I beheld [2334] Satan [4567] as [5613] lightning [796] fall [4098] from [1537] heaven [3772].
¹⁹ Behold [2400], I give [1325] unto you [5213] power [1849] to tread [3961] on [1883] serpents [3789] and [2532] scorpions [4651], and [2532] over [1909] all [3956] the power [1411] of the enemy [2190]: and [2532] nothing [3762] shall [91] by any means [3364] hurt [91] [91] you [5209].
²⁰ Notwithstanding [4133] in [1722] this [5129] rejoice [5463] not [3361], that [3754] the spirits [4151] are subject [5293] unto you [5213]; but [1161] rather [3123] rejoice [5463], because [3754] your [5216] names [3686] are written [1125] in [1722] heaven [3772].
²¹ In [1722] that [846] hour [5610] Jesus [2424] rejoiced in [21] spirit [4151], and [2532] said [2036], I thank [1843] thee [4671], O Father [3962], Lord [2962] of heaven [3772] and [2532] earth [1093], that [3754] thou hast hid [613] these things [5023] from [575] the wise [4680] and [2532] prudent [4908], and [2532] hast revealed [601] them [846] unto babes [3516]: even so [3483], Father [3962]; for [3754] so [3779] it seemed [1096] good [2107] in [1715] thy [4675] sight [1715].
²² All things [3956] are delivered [3860] to me [3427] of [5259] my [3450] Father [3962]: and [2532] no man [3762] knoweth [1097] who [5101] the Son [5207] is [2076], but [1508] the Father [3962]; and [2532] who [5101] the Father [3962] is [2076], but [1508] the Son [5207], and [2532] he to whom [3739] [1437] the Son [5207] will [1014] reveal [601] him.

²³ But [1161] when [3752] they persecute [1377] you [5209] in [1722] this [5026] city [4172], flee ye [5343] into [1519] another [243]: for [1063] verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Ye shall [5055] not [3364] have gone over [5055] the cities [4172] of Israel [2474], till [2193] the Son [5207] of man [444] be [302] come [2064].

²⁹ And [2532] when his [846] disciples [3101] heard [191] of it, they came [2064] and [2532] took up [142] his [846] corpse [4430], and [2532] laid [5087] it [846] in [1722] a tomb [3419].

¹³ When [2532] Jesus [2424] heard [191] of it, he departed [402] thence [1564] by [1722] ship [4143] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] apart [2596] [2398]: and [2532] when the people [3793] had heard [191] thereof, they followed [190] him [846] on foot [3979] out of [575] the cities [4172].

⁷ And [2532] he called [4341] unto him the twelve [1427], and [2532] began [756] to send [649] them [846] forth [649] by two [1417] and two [1417]; and [2532] gave [1325] them [846] power over [1849] unclean [169] spirits [4151];
⁸ And [2532] commanded [3853] them [846] that [2443] they should take [142] nothing [3367] for [1519] their journey [3598], save [1508] a staff [4464] only [3440]; no [3361] scrip [4082], no [3361] bread [740], no [3361] money [5475] in [1519] their purse [2223]:
⁹ But [235] be shod [5265] with sandals [4547]; and [2532] not [3361] put on [1746] [1746] two [1417] coats [5509].
¹⁰ And [2532] he said [3004] unto them [846], In what place soever [3699] [1437] ye enter [1525] into [1519] an house [3614], there [1563] abide [3306] till [2193] [302] ye depart [1831] from that place [1564].
¹¹ And [2532] whosoever [3745] [302] shall [1209] not [3361] receive [1209] you [5209], nor [3366] hear [191] you [5216], when ye depart [1607] thence [1564], shake off [1621] the dust [5522] under [5270] your [5216] feet [4228] for [1519] a testimony [3142] against them [846]. Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], It shall be [2071] more tolerable [414] for Sodom [4670] and [2228] Gomorrha [1116] in [1722] the day [2250] of judgment [2920], than [2228] for that [1565] city [4172].
¹² And [2532] they went out [1831], and preached [2784] that [2443] men should repent [3340].
¹³ And [2532] they cast out [1544] many [4183] devils [1140], and [2532] anointed [218] with oil [1637] many [4183] that were sick [732], and [2532] healed [2323] them.

¹⁰ And [2532] the apostles [652], when they were returned [5290], told [1334] him [846] all that [3745] they had done [4160]. And [2532] he took [3880] them [846], and went aside [5298] privately [2596] [2398] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117] belonging to the city [4172] called [2564] Bethsaida [966].
¹¹ And [1161] the people [3793], when they knew [1097] it, followed [190] him [846]: and [2532] he received [1209] them [846], and spake [2980] unto them [846] of [4012] the kingdom [932] of God [2316], and [2532] healed [2390] them that had [2192] need [5532] of healing [2322].
¹² And [1161] when the day [2250] began [756] to wear away [2827], then [1161] came [4334] the twelve [1427], and said [2036] unto him [846], Send [630] the multitude [3793] away [630], that [2443] they may go [565] into [1519] the towns [2968] and [2532] country [68] round about [2945], and lodge [2647], and [2532] get [2147] victuals [1979]: for [3754] we are [2070] here [5602] in [1722] a desert [2048] place [5117].
¹³ But [1161] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Give [1325] ye [5210] them [846] to eat [5315]. And [1161] they said [2036], We [2254] have no [3756] [1526] more [4119] but [2228] five [4002] loaves [740] and [2532] two [1417] fishes [2486]; except [1509] we [2249] should go [4198] and buy [59] meat [1033] for [1519] all [3956] this [5126] people [2992].
¹⁴ For [1063] they were [2258] about [5616] five thousand [4000] men [435]. And [1161] he said [2036] to [4314] his [846] disciples [3101], Make [2625] them [846] sit down [2625] by [303] fifties [4004] in a company [2828].
¹⁵ And [2532] they did [4160] so [3779], and [2532] made [347] them all [537] sit down [347].
¹⁶ Then [1161] he took [2983] the five [4002] loaves [740] and [2532] the two [1417] fishes [2486], and looking up [308] to [1519] heaven [3772], he blessed [2127] them [846], and [2532] brake [2622], and [2532] gave [1325] to the disciples [3101] to set before [3908] the multitude [3793].
¹⁷ And [2532] they did eat [5315], and [2532] were [5526] all [3956] filled [5526]: and [2532] there was taken up [142] of fragments [2801] that remained [4052] to them [846] twelve [1427] baskets [2894].

⁷ And [2532] some [243] fell [4098] among [1519] thorns [173], and [2532] the thorns [173] grew up [305], and [2532] choked [4846] it [846], and [2532] it yielded [1325] no [3756] fruit [2590].
