Definition: And when they had found him, they said unto him, All [men] seek for thee.
Explanation: Okay, let's break down that verse from Mark 1:37: “And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.” Here’s a simple explanation: This verse is a really interesting and slightly mysterious part of the Gospel of Mark. It tells us about Jesus’ first appearance to his disciples after his resurrection. Here's what it means in simpler terms: “When they had found him…” – This refers to the disciples, who were initially very surprised and confused when Jesus appeared. They weren't expecting him to be here for a while! “…they said unto him…” – They spoke to him, likely with questions or disbelief. “All men seek for thee.” – This is the key part. It means that everyone – all people across history and cultures – is trying to find Jesus. What does it mean practically? It’s a powerful message about: Jesus’ Importance: This verse emphasizes that Jesus is incredibly significant, not just to him but to humanity as a whole. Human Desire: It suggests that people are driven by a deep desire for something – a savior, a leader, someone who can change things – and that this desire is widespread. In essence, it’s saying that Jesus was seen as incredibly important and sought after by everyone. Does that make sense? Do you want me to elaborate on any part of this verse or explore its significance further? For example, we could talk about: The context of the Gospel of Mark (it's a very early Gospel). What it might mean in terms of Jesus’ role as the Messiah.
