Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 8. - He did so for so he did, A.V. Thy garment (ἱμάτιον); especially the outer garment, which was worn over the χιτὼν, or tunic (see Matthew 9:20, 21; Matthew 14:36; Matthew 23:5, etc.). The girding, therefore, applied to the inner garments, and περιβαλοῦ το the cloak which went over them.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals.--In lying down to sleep the Apostle had naturally laid aside his "cloak," loosened the girdle that bound his tunic, and put off his sandals. As regards the latter we note his continued observance of the rule of Mark 6:9.
