Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 1:41

Mark A PARABLE IN A MIRACLE CHRIST’S TOUCH Mar_1:41 . Behold the servant of the Lord’ might be the motto of this Gospel, and ‘He went about doing good and healing’ the summing up of its facts. We have in it comparatively few of our Lord’s discourses, none of His longer, and not very many of His briefer ones. It contains but four parables. This Evangelist gives no miraculous birth as in Matthew, no angels adoring there as in Luke, no gazing into the secrets of Eternity, where the Word who... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 1:42

Mark A PARABLE IN A MIRACLE Mar_1:40 f11 - Mar_1:42 . Christ’s miracles are called wonders-that is, deeds which, by their exceptional character, arrest attention and excite surprise. Further, they are called ‘mighty works’-that is, exhibitions of superhuman power. They are still further called ‘signs’-that is, tokens of His divine mission. But they are signs in another sense, being, as it were, parables as well as miracles, and representing on the lower plane of material things the effects... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 1:40-45

the Friend of Sinners Mark 1:40-45 ; Mark 2:1-22 The leper, Mark 1:40-45 . The news of Christ spread fast and far until it reached the outcasts from Jewish society, the very dregs of humanity. As the story of the wonderful miracles wrought by our Lord was pondered deeply by this man, He concluded that the only question which remained was that of Christ’s willingness to hear. As to His power there could be no doubt. But no one of all the religious world of that time had ever thought of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 1:1-45

The introductory words of this Gospel according to Mark are characterized by brevity. Mark at once announces his theme, "The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God," and then in rapid, clear sentences declares the mission and message of the forerunner. The Man of God$ will comes from the obedience of Nazareth to the obedience of the life of public ministry. As to words, how brief the story of the temptation, yet how much force and meaning are compressed into it. Four points... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Mark 1:28-45

He Went About Doing Good Mark 1:28-45 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We want to talk to you about the changeableness of the people toward Christ. Mark 1:28 says, "And immediately His fame spread abroad throughout all the regions round about Galilee." 1. It should be remembered that Capernaum was amazed at His doctrine and miracles. Capernaum was? stirred from center to circumference. Nothing had ever been known in that city to be compared with the wonderful works of the Son of God. In one of the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:41

STRENGTH AND SYMPATHY‘And Jesus … touched him.’ Mark 1:41 There is a terrible disease of which we, in England, happily know nothing, the disease of leprosy. The leper can only be described as a broken, helpless, hopeless man. A leper came to Jesus. He had doubtless heard of Him and of His wonderful cures, for he kneels down before Him and says, ‘If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.’ He had cured others. He had cast out devils, He could, if He would, cure the leper. It is easy for us to say... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:1-45

SECTION 1. The Establishment of His Ministry (1:1-3:35). This section commences with Jesus’ emergence from the wilderness as the Spirit anointed King and Servant (Isaiah 11:1-4; Isaiah 42:1-4; Isaiah 61:1-3) Who is God’s beloved Son (Mark 1:11), continues with His initial revelation of Himself as introducing the Kingly Rule of God (Mark 1:15), and as consequently doing mighty works in God’s Name, includes the idea of the formation of a group of disciples who are to extend His ministry (Mark... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:40

‘And there comes to him a leper, pleading with him and kneeling down to him, and saying to him, “If you will, you can make me clean.” The disease would be some dreadful creeping skin disease, not necessarily strictly modern leprosy (see Leviticus 13:1-59), although such leprosy (Hansen’s disease) was known in Palestine. All such diseases were so feared that the person was excluded from the community. People would shudder when they saw a skin diseased person, and scurry away. Such a person was... read more

Six Incidents In The Life of Jesus Which Reveal His Unique Power and Authority and Lead to the Pharisees Plotting Against Him (1:40-3:6). Jesus’ ministry having been established, and the presence of the Kingly Rule of God having been demonstrated by His power to cast out unclean spirits and heal, we are now presented with a series of incidents which reveal more of Who He is. Through them the glory of Jesus and Who He is, is brought out. The subsection commences with the healing of a seriously... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:41-42

‘And being stirred to his very depths he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, and says, “I will, be made clean”. And immediately the leprosy left him and he was made clean.’ Jesus was stirred to the depths of His being at the man’s plight, evidence of His own deep compassion. ‘Being stirred to His very depths’ represents a strong verb, for ‘being angry’ is found here in a few authorities, including D and Old Latin manuscripts, and Tatian. While it is thus seemingly mainly a Western... read more
