And when evening came
This phrase indicates the conclusion of a day filled with significant events, including Jesus' cleansing of the temple. In Jewish culture, the day begins at sunset, so evening marks the transition to a new day. This timing is significant as it reflects the rhythm of Jewish life and worship, where evening and morning are the markers of a day (Genesis 1:5). The evening also symbolizes a time of reflection and rest after the day's activities.

Jesus and His disciples
This highlights the close relationship between Jesus and His followers. The disciples are often depicted as learners and witnesses to Jesus' ministry. Their presence with Jesus during this time underscores their role in learning from His actions and teachings. The disciples' experiences with Jesus during these events would later be foundational for their own ministries and the spread of the Gospel.

went out of the city
The city referred to here is Jerusalem, a central location in Jewish religious life and the site of the temple. Jesus' departure from the city at evening could symbolize a temporary withdrawal from the center of religious and political tension. This action may also reflect a pattern in Jesus' ministry of retreating for rest and prayer, often in more secluded areas (Mark 1:35). Additionally, this movement out of the city can be seen as a fulfillment of prophetic actions, as Jesus often moved in and out of Jerusalem during the final week leading to His crucifixion, symbolizing His role as the suffering servant who would be rejected by the city.

Teaching Points
The Importance of Rest and Retreat
Jesus models the balance between active ministry and necessary rest. After a day of teaching and confrontation, He retreats with His disciples, showing the importance of rest in our spiritual and physical lives.

Strategic Withdrawal
Jesus' departure from the city at evening can be seen as a strategic withdrawal, allowing time for reflection and preparation for the next day's challenges. This teaches us the value of stepping back to gain perspective and strength.

The Significance of Timing
The mention of "evening" signifies a transition and the end of a day's work. It reminds us to be mindful of the rhythms of our lives and to seek God's guidance in our daily transitions.

Community and Fellowship
Jesus does not retreat alone but with His disciples, emphasizing the importance of community and fellowship in our spiritual journey. We are encouraged to seek support and accountability within our faith communities.(19) And when even was come.--Another note of time peculiar to St. Mark.

Verse 19. - And when even was come; literally, and whenever (ὅταν) evening came; that is, every evening. During these last days before his crucifixion, he remained in Jerusalem during the day, and went back to Bethany at night. St. Matthew says (Matthew 21:17), speaking of one of these days, "And he left them, and went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there." So true it was that "he came unto his own, and his own received him not." No one in that city, which he loved so well, offered to receive him. The end was drawing near. But the intercourse with Martha and Mary must have been soothing to him; and Bethany was less than two miles from Jerusalem.
