• Robertson's Word Pictures:
  They were as sheep not having a shepherd (êsan hôs probata mê echonta poimena). Matthew has these words in another context (Mt 9:26), but Mark alone has them here. Mê is the usual negative for the participle in the Koiné. These excited and exciting people (Bruce) greatly needed teaching. Mt 14:14 mentions healing as does Lu 9:11 (both preaching and healing). But a vigorous crowd of runners would not have many sick. The people had plenty of official leaders but these rabbis were for spiritual matters blind leaders of the blind. Jesus had come over for rest, but his heart was touched by the pathos of this situation. So "he began to teach them many things" (êrxato didaskein autous polla). Two accusatives with the verb of teaching and the present tense of the infinitive. He kept it up.

  As sheep not having a shepherd; destitute of teachers who cared for their souls and were able to teach them the truth. 34-44. Five thousand fed, near the shore of the sea of Galilee.

• Albert Barnes' Commentary:

   Much people--as sheep, etc. They had no one to teach them, and guide them. The priests and scribes were proud, corrupt, and despised the common people and neglected them.
   

• Jamieson-Faussett Brown:

    And Jesus, when he came out of the ship--having gone on shore.
  
  saw much people--a great multitude.
  
  and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd--At the sight of the multitudes who had followed Him by land and even got before Him, He was so moved, as was His wont in such cases, with compassion, because they were like shepherdless sheep, as to forego both privacy and rest that He might minister to them. Here we have an important piece of information from the Fourth Evangelist (Joh 6:4), "And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh"--rather, "Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was nigh." This accounts for the multitudes that now crowded around Him. They were on their way to keep that festival at Jerusalem. But Jesus did not go up to this festival, as John expressly tells us, (Joh 7:1) --remaining in Galilee, because the ruling Jews sought to kill Him.
