Charles Ellicott Commentary Mark 4:36

"And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him." — Mark 4:36 (ASV)

They took him even as he was.—The phrase is unique to this Gospel, and seems to point to the impression made on the mind of St. Mark’s informant by the utter exhaustion that followed the long day’s labours. St. John’s statement that our Lord, on His journey through Samaria, being wearied . . . sat thus on the well (John 4:6), presents an interesting parallel.
