And when the men of that place recognized Jesus
The phrase "recognized Jesus" indicates a moment of revelation and understanding. The Greek word for "recognized" is "epiginōskō," which implies a deep, personal knowledge or awareness. This recognition is not merely visual but spiritual, acknowledging Jesus' identity and authority. Historically, this reflects the growing reputation of Jesus as a healer and teacher, spreading throughout the region. The men of the place, likely familiar with His miracles, respond with urgency and faith, setting the stage for the miraculous.

they sent word to all the surrounding region
The act of sending "word" signifies the urgency and importance of the news. The Greek term "aposteilantes" suggests a deliberate and purposeful action, akin to sending a messenger. This reflects the communal nature of the society, where news was shared orally and rapidly. The "surrounding region" indicates a broad geographical area, emphasizing the widespread impact of Jesus' ministry. This action demonstrates the faith of the people, believing that Jesus' presence could bring healing and hope.

People brought all the sick to Him
The phrase "brought all the sick" highlights the collective effort and faith of the community. The Greek word "prospherō" means to bring or offer, often used in the context of offerings to God, suggesting an act of worship and trust. The inclusion of "all the sick" underscores the comprehensive nature of Jesus' healing ministry, offering hope to every individual, regardless of their ailment. This reflects the compassionate heart of Jesus, who never turned away those in need. Historically, this scene would have been a powerful testament to Jesus' divine authority and the fulfillment of Messianic prophecies, drawing people to Him in faith and expectation.

(35) And when the men of that place.--We have to remember, though not in this place to discuss, the fact that it was here, in the synagogue of Capernaum, that our Lord, meeting with those who had seen the miracle of the loaves, led them into that higher region of spiritual truth which the discourse of John 6:22-65 brings before us. The manifestation of divine power in the works of healing coincided with the divine wisdom revealed in the new teaching.

Verse 35. - And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about (cf. Matthew 3:5). Matthew alone states definitely that this zeal was shown by the inhabitants of the Plain of Gennesaret. Mark's words (Mark 6:55) are vaguer. And brought unto him all that were diseased; sick (Revised Version); cf. Matthew 4:24; Matthew 8:16.
