Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 8:27-30

Mark 8:27-30. And Jesus went into the towns of Cesarea Philippi These verses are explained at large in the notes on Matthew 16:13-20. He charged them that they should tell no man of him He enjoined on them silence for the present, 1st, That he might not encourage the people to set him up for a temporal king; 2d, That he might not provoke the scribes and Pharisees to destroy him before the time, and, 3d, That he might not forestall the brighter evidence which was to be given of his divine... read more

73. Peter’s confession of the Messiah (Matthew 16:13-23; Mark 8:27-33; Luke 9:18-22)Jesus and the apostles travelled up to Caesarea Philippi, in the far north of Palestine. While there, Jesus asked the apostles who they believed him to be. Peter, probably speaking for the group, replied that he was the promised Messiah, the Son of God (Matthew 16:13-16).Delighted at this insight, Jesus told the group (through words addressed to their spokesman Peter) that they would be the foundation on which... read more

And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.Although Mark did not record Jesus' acceptance of Peter's confession as did Matthew, he nevertheless indicated it emphatically by this charge. Again from Cranfield, "(This) implies that Jesus did accept Peter's confession as true.""[10] read more

C. The second cycle of self-revelation to the disciples 8:1-30The disciples had not yet understood the lessons that Jesus sought to teach them. Mark constructed his Gospel to show that in His discipleship training Jesus repeated lessons to train them. One writer noticed the following repetitive parallel structure in this section of the Gospel. [Note: Lane, p. 269.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 8:6-30

IV. THE SERVANT’S SELF-REVELATION TO THE DISCIPLES 6:6B-8:30The increasing hostility of Israel’s religious leaders and the rejection of the multitudes (Mark 3:7 to Mark 6:6 a) led Jesus to concentrate on training His disciples increasingly. This section of Mark’s Gospel shows how Jesus did that. While Jesus gave his disciples increasing responsibility for ministry (Mark 6:6-30), the focus of Jesus’ instruction was His own identity, which the disciples had great difficulty understanding (Mark... read more

6. Peter’s confession of faith 8:27-30 (cf. Matthew 16:13-20; Luke 9:18-21)The healing of the deaf man with the speech impediment resulted in a confession of Jesus’ greatness that fell short of identifying Him as God (Mark 7:37). The healing of the blind man was the incident that God used to open the disciples’ eyes to the biblical messianic identity of Jesus that Peter articulated.Mark further highlighted the cause and effect relationship between these last two events by structuring the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 8:30

Probably Jesus instructed the disciples to tell no one about Him for at least two reasons. First, such an announcement would have hindered His mission. Second, the disciples would not have been able to cope with the questions and opposition such an announcement would generate. They still held many popular misconceptions about Israel’s Messiah that Jesus needed to correct. Jesus proceeded to continue preparing them so they could represent Him effectively."At the center of his Gospel Mark placed... read more
