Mark 8:11-33 BSB

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 8:31-32

‘And he began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and after three days rise again. And he spoke the saying openly. ’ We should note here that Jesus not only refers to His coming death, but actually embraces it as a part of the divine purpose. From now on it is no longer seen as something that might arise because of opposition against Him, but as something which has been in the mind of God... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 8:32

‘And Peter drew him aside and began to rebuke him.’ For the use of the verb proslambano as ‘drew aside’ compare Acts 18:26. Peter did not want to make an open issue of the matter, and did not want to embarrass Jesus or himself. But the word ‘rebuke’ is fairly strong. Peter clearly felt quite strongly about it. Possibly he took Jesus aside to warn Him that He was in danger of putting people his disciples off (compare John 6:60), or it may have been that he may even have thought that He was being... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 8:33

‘But he, turning about and seeing his disciples, rebuked Peter, and says, “You get behind me, Satan, for you are not minding the things of God but the things of men.” ’ Peter’s words would immediately remind Jesus of another who had sought to turn Him aside from the way of suffering when He was tempted in the wilderness (Mark 1:13). And at them Jesus turned round to check on the other disciples, probably to see if they had heard. And on seeing that they were aware of what Peter was doing He... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 8:11-13

Mark 8:11-1 Chronicles : . The Request for a Sign Refused.— The Pharisees require some special authentication from Jesus beyond exorcisms and healings. They are said to tempt Jesus either because their question was intended to embarrass, or because unintentionally (like Peter in Mark 8:33) they renewed what had been one of the three great temptations ( Matthew 4:5-Judges :). Mk. alone records the emotion of Jesus. He sighed in spirit. This question and answer are clearly historical, and may... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 8:14-21

Mark 8:14-Ecclesiastes : . The Blindness of the Disciples Rebuked.— This is a difficult paragraph. Mark 8:15 contains a genuine utterance of Jesus which does not necessarily belong to its present context. Lk. gives it in another connexion ( Luke 12:1) and Wellhausen points out that Mark 8:14 and Mark 8:16 seem artificially separated by Mark 8:15. Again, if Mark 8:1-1 Samuel : is really a doublet of Mark 6:30 f., then the form at least of Mark 8:19 f. is due to the evangelist. But the rebuke... read more

Mark 8:22-Ezekiel : . The Blind Man of Bethsaida.— This cure is described and wrought in a thoroughly popular manner. The use of spittle ( Mark 7:33) was widespread in those days. A similar cure is attributed to Vespasian (Suet. Vesp. ch. 7). HNT adds a Greek parallel, “ Alcetas Halicus. The same being blind saw a vision. The god seemed to come to him and force open his eyes with his fingers, and he first saw the trees which were in the temple.” To take this story as symbolizing either the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 8:27-38

Mark 8:27 to Mark 9:1 . The Great Confession, and the First View of the Cross.— Here opens a new section of the gospel. The tendency to seek retirement with the Twelve, pronounced from Mark 6:31 onwards, now dominates the story. Jesus devotes Himself to training the Twelve in the shadow of the Cross. This concentration on His disciples becomes possible when they pierce His secret. The full significance of the confession is only apparent if Jesus has not previously revealed Himself or been... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:10-13

Matthew saith, he came into the coasts of Magdala; it is probable they were two contiguous tracts of land. We often read of the Pharisees coming to our Saviour to ask a sign. Had they not signs? What were all the miracles he wrought but signs of his Divine power and mission? But they ask for a sign from heaven, such a sign as Moses, Joshua, and Elijah gave them, by this means making a trial of his Divine power. Our Saviour, who never wrought miracles to satisfy men’s curiosity, but only to... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:14-21

We met with this whole history, with some additions, in Matthew 16:5-12; See Poole on "Matthew 16:5", and following verses to Matthew 16:12. It teacheth us both a lesson of human frailty, and what is our Christian duty: of our frailty, in not considering the works of the Lord for us, so as to make any use of them for the time to come. God doth his great works of providence to he had in remembrance, and that not only with respect to himself, that he might be glorified by us upon the remembrance... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:22-26

This miracle is only mentioned by Mark particularly, possibly because of two singularities in it: 1. With reference to the signs he used. 2. With reference to the gradual cure. Our Saviour sometimes used some signs in his miraculous operations, sometimes he used none, but by the word of his power alone healed them; in the signs he used, to let the people understand there was nothing in them, he often varied; sometimes he laid his hands upon them, sometimes he took them by the hand, sometimes he... read more
