Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed with demons." — Mark 1:32 (ASV)
And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
It was the Sabbath, and they would not even bring out their sick people until the day of rest was over. The Jewish Sabbath ended at the setting of the sun, so these people were all watching and waiting until the sun dipped below the horizon, and then, immediately, they brought their suffering ones to Jesus. What a mass of misery filled the streets of Capernaum that memorable night! The whole city was turned into a hospital.
