Mark 8:11-33 BSB

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:27-28

Herod, and those that followed him, judged Christ to be John the Baptist raised from the dead, or to have the soul of John the Baptist clothed with other flesh. Others conceived him to be Elias, of whom they were in expectation that he should come before the Messias. Others thought he was Jeremias, as Matthew saith, or one of the old prophets; they could not tell what to determine of one who appeared to them in the shape of a man, but did such things as none could do, but the Divine power... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:29-30

Luke reports no more of this than Mark, but Matthew reports it much larger, giving us a further reply of Christ to Peter; See Poole on "Matthew 16:15", and following verses to Matthew 16:20, which we have there discoursed largely upon. I shall only say here; That if so great a point as Peter’s primacy had been understood by Christ’s disciples of that age to have been settled by that answer of our Saviour, it is likely two of the evangelists would not have omitted an account of it. If they had... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:31

Our Lord is elsewhere said to have taught his disciples, according as they were able to bear, or to hear, what he spake unto them. He did not at the first teach them that he must suffer death: the doctrine of the cross of Christ was like new wine not fit to be put into old bottles; yet necessary to be taught them, lest when they saw it soon after they should have been offended, as indeed they were to some degree, notwithstanding the premonition they had of it. With the doctrine of his... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:32-33

It is from hence manifest, that notwithstanding the confession of Peter, that he was the Christ, yet they had a very imperfect knowledge of the business of the redemption of man by the blood of Christ, and a very imperfect faith as to the hypostatical union of the Divine and human nature in the one person of the Redeemer; for had Peter known these things he would have seen a necessity of Christ’s dying and resurrection from the dead, in order to the redemption and salvation of man, and would... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 8:10-12

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 8:10. Dalmanutha.—“Has been identified with the modern Ain-el-Bârideh, the ‘cold fountain,’ a glen which opens upon the lake about a mile from Magdala.” Cp. Matthew 15:39.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Mark 8:10-12(PARALLEL: Matthew 16:1-4.)The “sign” refused.—It was, we may be sure, no mere intellectual deficiency in His hearers which drew this sigh from the Gracious Saviour. In the request that He would give them a sign there was some secret spiritual... read more

A formal, hypocritical religion. 2. An indifference about all religion. The rich, the gay, the men of learning and philosophy, are too generally of this description.II. Some reasons for this caution.—1. Because of our proneness to these evils. 2.... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 8:22-26

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 8:22-26. Peculiar to Mark. Bethsaida (= Fish-town).—There were two places of this name: (1) the landing-port for Capernaum, on the western side of the lake; (2) a village to the north-east, on which Herod Philip conferred the status of a city, naming it Julias, after the emperor’s daughter. That this latter was the Bethsaida to which our Lord now withdrew may be inferred from the indications of locality in Mark 8:10; Mark 8:13; Mark 8:27.Mark 8:24. See R.V. “I... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 8:27-38

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 8:27. Cæsarea Philippi.—This picturesquely situated town, originally called Paneas, after a cavern dedicated to Pan in its neighbourhood, was enlarged and fortified by Herod Philip, who also renamed it in honour of the emperor. Then, to distinguish it from the Cæsarea on the Mediterranean coast—the seat of the Roman government, where Cornelius lived and Paul suffered imprisonment—it was styled “Cæsarea Philippi.” The name was again changed to Neronias by... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 8:12-25

Mark 8:12-25 I. Ver. 12. "And He sighed deeply in His spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign?" etc. The sign in this case was morally suggestive. It must have been one of the great troubles of His sad and weary life to be continually carrying in His own bosom secrets which He would not divulge. The sigh was an expression of self-restraint. Misery has often relieved herself in speech; but this Man of sorrows had added to His many griefs the woe of often suffering in... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 8:22-25

Mark 8:22-25 The Gradual Healing of the Blind Man. This miracle has a peculiarity, in which it stands absolutely alone, and that is that the work is done in stages; that the power which at other times has but to speak and it is done here seems to labour, and the cure comes slowly; that in the middle Christ pauses, and, like a physician trying the experiment of a drug, asks the patient if any effect is produced, and, getting the answer that some mitigation is realised, repeats the application,... read more
