55 They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was.
55 And ran through that whole region round about, and began to carry about in beds those that were sick, where they heard he was.
55 and ran about the whole region and began to bring the sick people on their beds to wherever they heard he was.
55 People ran this way and that, bringing their sick on stretchers to where they heard he was.
55 ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was.
55 and they ran throughout the whole area, carrying sick people on mats to wherever they heard he was.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Mark 6:55
Commentary on Mark 6:45-56
(Read Mark 6:45-56)
The church is often like a ship at sea, tossed with tempests, and not comforted: we may have Christ for us, yet wind and tide against us; but it is a comfort to Christ's disciples in a storm, that their Master is in the heavenly mount, interceding for them. And no difficulties can hinder Christ's appearance for his people, when the set time is come. He silenced their fears, by making himself known to them. Our fears are soon satisfied, if our mistakes are set right, especially our mistakes as to Christ. Let the disciples have their Master with them, and all is well. It is for want of rightly understanding Christ's former works, that we view his present works as if there never were the like before. If Christ's ministers now could cure people's bodily diseases, what multitudes would flock after them! It is sad to think how much more most care about their bodies than about their souls.
