When even was come (opsias genomenēs). Genitive absolute. A beautiful sunset scene at the close of the Sabbath day (Mar 1:21). Then the crowds came as Jesus stood in the door of Peter’s house (Mar 1:33; Mat 8:14) as all the city gathered there with the sick, “all those who had it bad” (see note on Mat 4:24) and he healed them “with a word” (logōi). It was a never to be forgotten memory for those who saw it.
