Mark 1:14-31 ESV

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:28

‘And immediately the report about him went out everywhere into all the regions of Galilee round about.’ The news spread like wildfire. ‘This man preaches with remarkable authority, and He casts out evil spirits just by a command.’ The result was that there was a great and growing interest in Him and people began to seek Him out from all over Galilee. Nearly everyone was talking about Him. His outward popularity was growing and His unique status was being recognised. Note on The Casting Out Of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:29-31

‘And immediately when they were come from the Synagogue they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and straightway they tell him of her. And he came and took her by the hand and raised her, and the fever left her, and she ministered to their needs.’ Leaving the Synagogue they naturally went to the home of two of the disciples, Simon Peter and Andrew, who presumably lived in Capernaum. James and John also went with them... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:29-34

Jesus Reveals His Power Over Disease and Evil Spirits (1:29-34). The revelation of Jesus’ new power following His reception of Holy Spirit continued. Not only did He appoint disciples, teach with authority, and cast out evil spirits, but He revealed His power over every kind of disease. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:29-39

The Power of Jesus Is Revealed in Healing And A Further Casting Out Of Spirits, But He Emphasises That His Main Ministry Must Be That of Preaching in Their Synagogues (1:29-39). Having revealed His authority in His teaching and in the casting out of an unclean spirit with a word of command, Jesus carries out a healing ministry, commencing with Peter’s mother-in-law in Capernaum, and which also includes the casting out of unclean spirits who are ‘aware of Who He is’, although we do not learn... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:14

Mark 1:14 to Mark 3:6 . The First Period of the Galilean Ministry. Mark 1:14 f. Jesus Announces in Galilee the Nearness of the Kingdom.— Not immediately after the Temptation, but after the arrest of John ( Mark 6:17), Jesus returned to Galilee from the south country and took up John’ s message. Like John, Jesus calls men to repent because God’ s kingdom is near. But the menace of judgment uttered by John becomes good tidings on the lips of Jesus. If the phrase “ believe the gospel” is due to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:16-20

Mark 1:16-Proverbs : . The Call of the First Disciples.— The sudden call and unhesitating response argue, according to Porphyry ( c. A.D. 300), either the incompetence of the lying historian or the stupidity of the disciples. But Mk. does not imply that this was the first these men had seen or heard of Jesus ( cf. John 13:5-Zechariah : *). He does, however, suggest the attractive power of Jesus, which he regarded as supernatural. At a word men left all to be with Him. It must have seemed... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:21-28

Mark 1:21-Malachi : . A Specimen Day in Capernaum.— With His first followers, Jesus went to Capernaum (p. 29), “ a border town in the kingdom of Antipas, on the high road from Ptolemais to Damascus” (HNT, ad loc.; Matthew 4:13 *). Mk.’ s information now becomes more detailed, and he records the events of the first Sabbath as perhaps Simon himself recalled them. Mark 1:21-Hosea : . Jesus visits the synagogue and proclaims His message there. Throughout the earlier period of His Galilean... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:29-31

Mark 1:29-Obadiah : . The Miracle of Healing in Simon’ s House.— Jesus and His disciples were apparently Simon’ s guests in Capernaum. Simon’ s wife’ s mother (? the hostess) was sick, and the members of the household appealed to Jesus. He lifted her up and not only freed her from fever, but restored her to strength so that she was able to prepare the meal. Fever usually leaves a patient weak, but “ when the Lord bestows health, restoration is immediate and complete” (Jerome). read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 1:14-15

It should seem that John had but a short time wherein he exercised his public ministry: he was the son of a priest, Zacharias, Luke 1:13, and it is probable that he entered not upon his public ministry till he was thirty years of age (it was the priestly age, and the age at which Luke tells us our Saviour entered upon his public ministry). He was but about six months older than our Saviour, and was imprisoned as soon as our Saviour entered upon his ministry, indeed before we read of his... read more

We heard of the call of these four apostles before, in Matthew. See Poole on "Matthew 4:18", and following verses to Matthew 4:22, upon which may be found whatsoever is necessary for the explication of these verses, (having nothing new in them), as also the reconciling of what John saith, John 1:40, about the calling of Andrew and Simon, to what these two evangelists say about it. read more
