Mark 1:32,33 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

And at even, &c.— The news of the miracle above related being spread through the town, those who had sick relations or friends resolved to apply to Jesus for a cure: only, because it was the sabbath, they did not immediately come to him; they waited till the holy rest was ended, which, according to the Jewish form of the day, was at sun-setting; and then they brought their sick in great numbers to him, fullypersuaded that he would heal them. The persons who attended the sick, or who brought them to be cured, together with the towns' people, whose curiosity and admiration were excited by the reports of the two miracles performed that day, made such a crowd at St. Peter's house, that it looked as if all the city had been gathered together. See the notes on Matthew 8:4; Matthew 12:16 for some reasons why our Saviour suffered not his miracles to be publicly spoken of.

Mark 1:32-33

32 And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.

33 And all the city was gathered together at the door.
