SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:56
Y dondequiera que entraba, en aldeas, o ciudades, o heredades, ponían en las calles a los que estaban enfermos, y le rogaban que les dejase tocar siquiera el borde de su vestido; y todos los que le tocaban eran salvos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 6:56
Verse 56. Villages] Probably small towns near cities. Country] Villages at a distance from cities and large public towns. See the notes on Matt. xiv. 34-36.
Christ went about doing good-he confined his ministry and miracles to no place-wherever he went, they stood in need of his help; and whenever they required his assistance, they had it granted immediately. Our Lord's conduct, in these respects, is a perfect pattern for every preacher of his Gospel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 56. And whithersoever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country , etc..] Whether in smaller towns, or larger cities, or the fields, where were houses, here and there one: they laid the sick in the streets ; or markets, in any public places: and besought him that they but might touch the border of his garment ; if they might not be admitted to touch his person, or he did not choose to lay his hands on them: and as many as touched him ; or it, the border of his garment, as they desired: were made whole ; of whatsoever sickness, or disease, they were afflicted with; (see Gill on Matthew 14:36).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 45-56 - The church is often like a ship at sea, tossed with tempests, and no comforted: we may have Christ for us, yet wind and tide against us; but it is a comfort to Christ's disciples in a storm, that their Master is in the heavenly mount, interceding for them. And no difficulties can hinder Christ's appearance for his people, when the set time is come He silenced their fears, by making himself known to them. Our fears ar soon satisfied, if our mistakes are set right, especially our mistake as to Christ. Let the disciples have their Master with them, and all is well. It is for want of rightly understanding Christ's former works that we view his present works as if there never were the like before If Christ's ministers now could cure people's bodily diseases, what multitudes would flock after them! It is sad to think how much mor most care about their bodies than about their souls __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
6:56 {Wheresoever he entered} (hopou an eiseporeueto). The imperfect indicative with an used to make a general indefinite statement with the relative adverb. See the same construction at the close of the verse, hosoi an hpsanto auton (aorist indicative and an in a relative clause), {as many as touched him}. One must enlarge the details here to get an idea of the richness of the healing ministry of Jesus. We are now near the close of the Galilean ministry with its many healing mercies and excitement is at the highest pitch (Bruce).
