Mark 6:56 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole. Villages - Probably small towns near cities.

Country - Villages at a distance from cities and large public towns. See the notes on Matthew 14:34-36 (note).

Christ went about doing good - he confined his ministry and miracles to no place - wherever he went, they stood in need of his help; and whenever they required his assistance, they had it granted immediately. Our Lord's conduct, in these respects, is a perfect pattern for every preacher of his Gospel.
