Vincent: Mar 6:46 - When he had sent them away

When he had sent them away ( ἀποτάξαμενος )

Rev., more correctly, after he had taken leave . Unclassical, and used in this sense only in later Greek. So in Luk 9:61; Act 18:18; 2Co 2:13.

Wesley: Mar 6:46

Mat 14:23; Joh 6:15.

JFB: Mar 6:46 - And when he had sent them away, he departed into a mountain to pray

Thus at length getting that privacy and rest which He had vainly sought during the earlier part of the day; opportunity also to pour out His soul in connection with the extraordinary excitement in His favor that evening--which appears to have marked the zenith of His reputation, for it began to decline the very next day; and a place whence He might watch the disciples on the lake, pray for them in their extremity, and observe the right time for coming to them, in a new manifestation of His glory, on the sea.

Poole: Mar 6:45-46 - unto Bethsaida

Ver. 45,46. If this desert where Christ was were, as Luke saith, Luk 9:10 , a desert belonging to Bethsaida, those words, eiv to peran prov bhysaidan , are ill translated

unto Bethsaida and the marginal note in our larger Bibles is better, over against Bethsaida. Our Saviour here first sends away his disciples by water, then he dismisses the multitude to go to their own homes. Then he goeth up into a mountain to pray. We find Christ very often in the duty of secret prayer, very often choosing a mountain, as a place of solitude, for the performance of it, and very often making use of the night for it, which is also a time of quietness and solitude: which lets us know that secret prayer is necessary, not only for the bewailing, and confessing, and begging pardon for our secret sins, (for Christ had no such), but for our more free and more near communion with God; for although God filleth all places, yet we shall observe that God, in his more than ordinary communion with his people, hath not admitted of company, of which Abraham, and Moses, and Jacob, and all the prophets are sufficient instances.

Gill: Mar 6:46 - And when he had sent them away // he departed into a mountain to pray

And when he had sent them away,.... Either his disciples, or rather the multitude:

he departed into a mountain to pray: after his disciples were gone, and he had dismissed the people, he went from the desert where he had been, up into a mountain; being a retired place, to spend some time in private prayer to God; See Gill on Mat 14:23.
