馬可福音 6章45節 到 6章45節     上一筆  下一筆
 {To Bethsaida} (pros B(8874)hsaidan). This is Bethsaida on the
Western side, not Bethsaida Julias on the Eastern side where they
had just been ( Lu 9:10 ). {While he himself sendeth the
multitude away} (he(9373) autos apoluei ton ochlon).  Mt 14:22  has
it "till he should send away" (he(9373) hou apolus(8869)) with the
aorist subjunctive of purpose. Mark with the present indicative
apoluei pictures Jesus as personally engaged in persuading the
crowds to go away now.  Joh 6:41f.  explains this activity of
Jesus. The crowds had become so excited that they were in the
mood to start a revolution against the Roman government and
proclaim Jesus king. He had already forced in reality the
disciples to leave in a boat {to go before him} (proagein) in
order to get them out of this atmosphere of overwrought
excitement with a political twist to the whole conception of the
Messianic Kingdom. They were in grave danger of being swept off
their feet and falling heedlessly into the Pharisaic conception
and so defeating the whole teaching and training of Jesus with
them. See on 烘t 14:22,23|. To this pass things had come one year
before the Crucifixion. He had done his best to help and bless
the crowds and lost his chance to rest. No one really understood
Jesus, not the crowds, not the disciples. Jesus needed the Father
to stay and steady him. The devil had come again to tempt him
with world dominion in league with the Pharisees, the populace,
and the devil in the background.
