James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:39

FED OF GOD‘And He commanded them to make all sit down by companies.’ Mark 6:39 The subject of which I wish to speak to you is the need which comes to men of simply being fed by God, of ceasing from self-assertion, and simply being receptive to the influences which come to them from Divinity. I. Life’s perpetual energy.—There is a danger for many men, if not for all, in the perpetual output of energy which so much of our life involves. Life is made up of tasks and problems. It is one process... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:48

MYSTERIOUS PASSAGES OF LIFE‘And He saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them.’ Mark 6:48 He saw them ‘toiling’—the word in the original is very strong, wrought, tested, tortured—yet, nevertheless, continuing the task which seemed so hopeless, and persevering in the unequal combat, which all the while was producing the distress.This Jesus saw then, and what does He see now? I. The voyage of life.—We are all bound together in one holy fellowship, and our first duty is to... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:56

HEALED BY A TOUCH‘As many as touched Him were made whole.’ Mark 6:56 I. The healed.—Those here noticed were evidently affected with a variety of diseases of body and mind. But whatever was the variety and inveteracy of their diseases, we are assured that they were made whole. As the material frame of those who were brought to touch even the hem of the Redeemer’s garment was restored to a state of the most perfect soundness, so the moral nature of those who experience spiritual renovation is... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:1-56

SECTION 3. Jesus’ Ministry Throughout Galilee and In The Surrounding Regions (4:35-9:32). After the initial opening up of the story of Jesus with its continual emphasis on His unique authority, Who He was and what He had come to do (Mark 4:1-3), and the series of parables which have indicated how the Kingly Rule of God was to expand (Mark 4:1-34), Mark now indicates how this expansion continued to occur through the ministry of Jesus in Galilee and the surrounding regions. At the same time he... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:6-56

The Wider Ministry begins - the Apostles Are Sent Out - Opposition Continues (6:6a-56). Having established that Jesus is Lord of the elements, Lord over evil spirits and Lord over life and death, Mark now deals with the widening of His ministry, although again this does not take place without disappointments and opposition as before. Jesus sends His disciples out to preach with great success, although ever in the background is the shadow of Herod Antipas who was responsible for the death of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:30

The Apostles Return From Their Mission (6:30-34). ‘And the Apostles gather themselves together to Jesus, and they told him all things, whatever they had done and whatever they had taught.’ ‘The Apostles.’ This is remarkably the only reference to ‘the Apostles’ in Mark. But that it carries all the full meaning of the title we cannot doubt, for by the time that he was writing the title had become a settled one (he could just as easily have called them ‘the disciples of Jesus’ in contrast with... read more

The Disciples Return and Take a Break - The Feeding of Five Thousand People (6:30-44). When the disciples returned and explained to Jesus all that had happened He sought to take them somewhere where they could rest and recuperate, and no doubt where He could give them advice and reassurance. Perhaps also He was a little concerned at some of the things which they had told Him. Their view of the Kingly Rule of God had still not been tailored in line with how Jesus saw it. Perhaps they had been... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:31

‘And he says to them, “Come you yourselves apart into an isolated (or desert) place and rest awhile.” For there were many coming and going and they had no leisure so much as to eat.’ Recognising the strain their activities had put them under Jesus desired to take them to a quiet and uninhabited place where they could rest and recover, and where He could listen to what they had to say and guide them, for the place where they were was public and they were constantly being interrupted, so much so... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:32

‘And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart.’ So taking ship the group sailed to an isolated place where they could be alone. Luke tells us that this was in the vicinity of Bethsaida Julias situated near the top of the lake to the East (Luke 9:10). It was necessary even for these young and exuberant men to have a vacation sometimes, not one of making merry, but of getting alone with God. And no doubt they took food with them which they may well have consumed on the boat. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:33

‘And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran there together on foot from all the cities and outran them.’ But this time ‘the boat trick’ did not work, for their action in taking ship was noted by those who knew them, who discerned where they were going and made their way there on foot, meanwhile publicising what they were doing so that others joined them. The boat appears to have made slow progress for the crowd arrived at the place where the boat would land before the boat... read more
