Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he laid his hands on them,.... "And blessed them", as Mark says; he put his hands upon them, according to the custom of the country, and wished all kind of prosperity to them:

and departed thence, out of the house where he had been, and his disciples with him: the Ethiopic version renders it, "and they went from thence", from those parts, towards Jerusalem.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He laid his hands on them - Mark says he blessed them. That is, he pronounced or sought a blessing on them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Matthew 19:15. He - departed thence. — That is, from that part of Judea which was beyond Jordan, Matthew 19:1; and then went to Jericho. See Matthew 20:29.
