And at evening, when the sun had set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with demons.
All Commentaries on Mark 1:32 Go To Mark 1
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
When the sun had set: Gr. פו הץ  כיןע, i.e, when the sun was swallowed up and sunk in the sea. For הץלבי means to be sunk, submerged, and is spoken of islands which are submerged and drowned by the sea. This is a form of speech adopted from the common people, who think that when the sun sets it is subrnerged in the ocean.
