Robertson: Mar 6:56 - Wheresoever he entered

Wheresoever he entered ( hopou an eiseporeueto ).

The imperfect indicative with an used to make a general indefinite statement with the relative adverb. See the same construction at the close of the verse, hosoi an hēpsanto auton (aorist indicative and an in a relative clause), as many as touched him. One must enlarge the details here to get an idea of the richness of the healing ministry of Jesus. We are now near the close of the Galilean ministry with its many healing mercies and excitement is at the highest pitch (Bruce).

Vincent: Mar 6:56 - In the streets

Peculiar to Mark.

In the streets ( ἀγοραῖς )

Rightly, Rev., market-places . See on Mat 11:16.

Vincent: Mar 6:56 - Border

Border

See on Mat 9:20.

JFB: Mar 6:56 - and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment

Having heard, no doubt, of what the woman with the issue of blood experienced on doing so (Mar 5:25-29), and perhaps of other unrecorded cases of the same nature.

JFB: Mar 6:56 - and as many as touched him

Or "it"--the border of His garment.

JFB: Mar 6:56 - were made whole

All this they continued to do and to experience while our Lord was in that region. The time corresponds to that mentioned (Joh 7:1), when He "walked in Galilee," instead of appearing in Jerusalem at the passover, "because the Jews," that is, the rulers, "sought to kill Him"--while the people sought to enthrone Him!

Clarke: Mar 6:56 - Villages

Villages - Probably small towns near cities

Clarke: Mar 6:56 - Country

Country - Villages at a distance from cities and large public towns. See the notes on Mat 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.

TSK: Mar 6:56 - they laid // touch // the border // him

Poole: Mar 6:53-56

Ver. 53-56. See Poole on "Mat 14:34" , and following verses to Mat 14:36 . The charity of this people to their sick neighbours is very commendable, and instructive of us as to our duty to do good to others, as to their bodily wants and necessities, so far as we are able; but how much greater is that charity, which is showed to people’ s souls, inviting them to Christ that they may be spiritually healed! It was not their touching the hem of his garment, nor of his body, which healed these sick persons, those who had a hand in crucifying of him did both; it was the virtue that went out from Christ, upon the testification of their faith, by coming to him, and touching, and desiring to touch, the hem of his garment: neither is it men’ s coming to the congregation, and hearing the word of God, that will heal their souls, unless there goeth forth a Divine power from the Spirit of grace upon men’ s hungering and thirsting after Christ in his ordinances, and by faith laying hold upon the promise exhibited in the preaching of the gospel.

Gill: Mar 6:56 - And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country // they laid the sick in the streets // and besought him that they but might touch the border of his garment // and as many as touched him // were made whole

And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country,.... Whether in smaller towns, or larger cities, or the fields, where were houses, here and there one:

they laid the sick in the streets; or "markets", in any public places:

and besought him that they but might touch the border of his garment; if they might not be admitted to touch his person, or he did not choose to lay his hands on them:

and as many as touched him; or "it", the border of his garment, as they desired:

were made whole; of whatsoever sickness, or disease, they were afflicted with; See Gill on Mat 14:36.
