The Biblical Illustrator - Mark 1:9-10

Mark 1:9-10Jesus came from Nazareth. Nazareth of Galilee: The fitness of the spot1. Its seclusion. It lies in a narrow cleft in the limestone hills which form the boundary of Zabulon, entirely out of the ordinary roads of commerce, so that none could say that our Lord had learnt either from Gentiles or from rabbis.2. Its beauty and peacefulness. The flowers of Nazareth are famous, and the appearance of its inhabitants shows its healthiness. It was a home of humble peace and plenty. The fields... read more

Mark 1:10The heavens opened.The Divine TrinityThis was the inauguration and proclamation of the Messiahs, when He began to be the great Prophet of the New Covenant. And this was the greatest meeting that ever was upon the earth, where the whole cabinet of the mysterious Trinity was opened and shown, as much as the capacities of our present imperfections will permit; the Second Person in the veil of humanity; the Third in the shape, or with the motion, of a dove: but the First kept His primitive... read more

Mark 1:11Thou art My beloved Son.Humiliation and exaltationIt will be well for us to remember that our great Example was most highly exalted just when His humiliation was deepest; that it was when He had made Himself one with the sons of men that He was declared to be the Son-the beloved Son-of God. It is a pledge that the lowly, submissive spirit will be greatly sanctified, and that there is no surer way to win the approval of God than by yielding our wills to the authority of those set over... read more

Mark 1:12-13The Spirit driveth Him into the wilderness.The temptation of ChristAn awful and mysterious passage in the life of One whose tastes and habits were the very opposite of those of the prophet of the desert-One who loved men and cities, free social intercourse, and scenes of active usefulness. No sooner does Jesus undergo the high consecration of baptism than, instead of stepping forth into public life, He flees to solitude. We cannot unveil the deep mystery of this season of thought... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 1:1

1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; Ver. 1. The beginning of the Gospel, &c. ] The history of our Saviour’s life and death, St Mark is recorded to have written at the request of the Romans. a In the Latin tongue, say some (who pretend to have seen the original copy at Venice), but it is more likely in Greek, a tongue (then) very well known to the Romans also. He begins with John’s ministry, passing over Christ’s birth and private life for brevity’ sake (as it... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 1:2

2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. Ver. 2. As it is written in the prophets ] Isaiah and Malachi; so that there was no cause why that dead dog Porphyry should here bark and blaspheme, as if this testimony should be falsely fathered on all the prophets, when Isaiah only was the author of it. Behold, I send my Messenger before thy face ] Malachi saith, "Before my face," in the person of Christ; to show that... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 1:3

3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Ver. 3. The voice of one crying ] Here Mark begins the Gospel, at the preaching of the Baptist, which the author to the Hebrews begins at the preaching of Christ, Hebrews 2:3 . But that is only to prove that so great was our Saviour’s glory in his miracles, that it matcheth, yea, surpasseth that of the angels, those ministers of the law. The ridiculous parallel of Apollonius Tyaneus with our... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 1:4

4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Ver. 4. John did baptize in the wilderness ] Like as at the promulgation of the law, the people were commanded to wash their garments, and sanctify themselves; so at the first publication of the Gospel, to wash their hands, and cleanse their hearts; and in testimony or profession thereof, to believe and be baptized for remission of sins. read more

5 And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. Ver. 5. All the land of Judea ] That is, a great sort of them; but John quickly grew stale to them, John 5:35 . Principium fervet, medium leper, exitus alger.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 1:6

6 And John was clothed with camel’s hair, and with a girdle of a skin about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; Ver. 6. And John was clothed, &c. ] Elias also was a rough hairy man. Those worthies, of "whom the world was not worthy, wandered about in sheep’s skins and goat’s skins," Hebrews 11:37 ; but they were like the ark, goat’s hair without, but pure gold within; or like Brutus’ staff, Cuius intus solidum aurum corneo velabatur eortiee.
