rwp@John:6:16 @{When evening came} (\hs opsia egeneto\). "The late hour" (\hra\ understood), and so in late Greek the adjective is used as a substantive. It is late evening (real evening), not the early evening in mid-afternoon (Matthew:14:15|). The disciples were in no hurry to start back to Bethsaida in Galilee (Mark:6:45|), Capernaum in John (John:6:17|).

rwp@Mark:6:35 @{When the day was now far spent} (\d hras polls genomens\). Genitive absolute. \Hra\ used here for day-time (so strkjv@Matthew:14:15|) as in Polybius and late Greek. {Much day-time already gone}. strkjv@Luke:9:12| has it began to {incline} (\klinein\) or wear away. It was after 3 P.M., the first evening. Note second evening or sunset in strkjv@Mark:6:47; strkjv@Matthew:14:23; strkjv@John:6:16|. The turn of the afternoon had come and sunset was approaching. The idiom is repeated at the close of the verse. See on ¯Matthew:14:15|.
