Mark 1:35-45

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 1:29-39

In these verses, we have, I. A particular account of one miracle that Christ wrought, in the cure of Peter's wife's mother, who was ill of a fever. This passage we had before, in Matthew. Observe, 1. When Christ had done that which spread his fame throughout all parts, he did not then sit still, as some think that they may lie in bed when their name is up. No, he continued to do good, for that was it he aimed at, and not his own honour. Nay, those who are in reputation, had need be busy and... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 1:40-45

We have here the story of Christ's cleansing a leper, which we had before, Matt. 8:2-4. It teaches us, 1. How to apply ourselves to Christ; come as this leper did, (1.) With great humility; this leper came beseeching him, and kneeling down to him (Mark 1:40); whether giving divine honour to him as God, or rather a less degree of respect as a great Prophet, it teaches us that those who would receive grace and mercy from Christ, must ascribe honour and glory to Christ, and approach to him with... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 1:35-39

1:35-39 Very early, when it was still night, Jesus rose and went out. He went away to a deserted place and there he was praying. Simon and his friends tracked him down and said to him, "They are all searching for you," Jesus said to them, "Let us go somewhere else, to the nearby villages, that I may proclaim the good news there too, for that is why I came forth." So he went to their synagogues, all over Galilee, proclaiming the good news as he went, and casting out demons. Simply to read... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 1:40-45

1:40-45 A leper came to him, asking him to help him and kneeling before him. "If you are willing to do so," he said, "you are able to cleanse me." Jesus was moved with pity to the depths of his being. He stretched out his hand and touched him. "I am willing," Jesus said, "be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. Immediately Jesus sent him away with a stern injunction. "See to it," he said to him, "that you tell no man anything about this; but go and show yourself to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:35

And in the morning, rising up a great white before day ,.... On the morrow after the sabbath, on the first day in the morning, notwithstanding the fatigue of the former day, through preaching and working miracles; yet he rose up very early while it was very much within the night, as the light and day were coming on, and before the day broke; though it might be broad day before he departed out of the house, as Luke suggests, Luke 4:42 , he went out ; out of the house of Simon and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:36

And Simon, and they that were with him ,.... Peter, and his brother Andrew, together with James and John, followed after him ; some time after he was gone; for he privately withdrew from them, so that they might not be aware when he went, nor apprized of his departure, for some considerable time; which when they were, they set out, in diligent search, and eager pursuit after him, until they found him. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:37

And when they had found him ,.... In the desert and solitary place, where he had been praying: they said unto him ; in order to engage him to go with them, and as the reason why they sought him with so much eagerness and diligence, all men seek for thee ; not all the men in the world, nor, it may be, all the inhabitants of Capernaum, but a large number of them, who were inquiring after him, some for one thing, some for another; some to see him, what manner of man he was, and some to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:38

And he said unto them, let us go into the next towns ,.... Instead of returning with his disciples to Capernaum, as they expected he would, and especially since there was such a concourse of people got together, he proposes to go to "the next towns"; or "village cities"; towns that were neither villages, nor cities, but between both, as the word signifies: hence the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions render it, "villages and cities": and it designs such towns in which there were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:39

And he preached in their synagogues ,.... Which were in the next towns, in the village cities, and throughout all Galilee : taking every town and city in his circuit, he continued preaching the Gospel of the kingdom in one place and another, until he had gone over the whole country: and cast out devils ; as out of the souls, so out of the bodies of men, whereby he confirmed the doctrine he preached. read more

And there came a leper to him ,.... After he was come down from a certain mountain, in Galilee, where he had been preaching to the people, Matthew 8:1 , and when be was in a certain city, Luke 5:12 , either Capernaum, or some other city of Galilee. This man was full of leprosy, as Luke says, and very probably deemed incurable; of the nature and symptoms of the leprosy; see Gill on Luke 5:12 , beseeching him ; to cure him of his leprosy: and kneeling down to him ; in token of... read more
