James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:14-15

THE COMING OF THE KINGDOM‘Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand.’ Mark 1:14-Ezra : The belief in the coming of some anointed one, to be at once king and prophet, was universal even in the darkest days of Jewish history, however unworthy may have been the conception of his mission and office. And now at a time of deep depression, and in a generation which was destined to see the destruction of... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:15

THE OLD, OLD SERMON‘Repent ye, and believe the gospel.’ Mark 1:15 It is important to notice the nature of Christ’s preaching. He came saying, ‘Repent ye, and believe the gospel.’ I. The old sermon.—This is that old sermon which all the faithful witnesses of God have continually preached from the very beginning of the world. From Noah down to the present day the burden of their address has been always the same—‘Repent and believe.’ St. Paul told the Ephesian elders, when he left them for the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:17

CONDITIONS OF SUCCESSFUL SERVICE‘And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.’ Mark 1:17 The Saviour’s promise is most reassuring. Christ was the Master Fisher of men, and He undertakes to make us ‘fishers’ like Himself, if only we will come after Him. What then are the conditions for serving Christ? I. There must be personal devotion to the Lord Jesus.—Our service must be all for Christ. We are all called to serve. All our service must be unto... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:21-22

THE VOICE OF AUTHORITY‘And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath day He entered into the synagogue, and taught. And they were astonished at His doctrine: for He taught them as one that had authority, and not as the scribes. Mark 1:21-Song of Solomon : Where men assemble there is always opportunity for service. Wisdom delights to dwell in human convocations. Jesus Christ, the model worker, readily found a field for wise activity. He instantly adjusted Himself to His... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:23

AN ACT OF POWER‘And there was in their synagogue a men with an unclean spirit.’ Mark 1:23 All unobserved, a poor demoniac had entered the synagogue at Capernaum when our Lord was speaking with authority. Perhaps he came thinking it to be a sanctuary, where for a moment he might be soothed by memories of Sabbath days passed away for ever. Suddenly the air is rent by his shriek of terror; each worshipper is struck dumb with fear. The crowd heard the shriek, they saw the ghostly vision of the... read more

A DOMESTIC DRAMA‘But Simon’s wife’s mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell Him of her. And Be came and took her by the hand, and lifted her up; and immediately the fever left her, and she ministered unto them.’ Mark 1:30-Obadiah : In these verses we have a brief, beautiful, and interesting drama. The more dire dispensations of Providence may nevertheless be those around which may circle, and out of which may grow, many blessings. I. Telling Jesus.—The Saviour knew all about the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:35

IN A SOLITARY PLACE‘He went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.’ Mark 1:35 We have only to turn over the pages of the Gospel and note, as we go, the similar allusions, and we feel that we have here what is in fact an incidental glimpse into the habitual practice of our Lord’s secret and separate life. I. Private prayer part of the common life.—In this passage we read that He departed into a solitary place, and there He prayed; in another, by and by, that He departed... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:41

STRENGTH AND SYMPATHY‘And Jesus … touched him.’ Mark 1:41 There is a terrible disease of which we, in England, happily know nothing, the disease of leprosy. The leper can only be described as a broken, helpless, hopeless man. A leper came to Jesus. He had doubtless heard of Him and of His wonderful cures, for he kneels down before Him and says, ‘If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean.’ He had cured others. He had cast out devils, He could, if He would, cure the leper. It is easy for us to say... read more

RESERVE IN RELIGION‘And He straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away.… But he went out, and began to publish it much.’ Mark 1:43-Romans : Our Lord, having healed the leper, charged him to be silent about the cure. He was not to make it known, except to the priest; and even if any of his comrades saw the wondrous change that had come over his once withered limbs, he was not to reveal to them the method by which it had been wrought. Christ knew the healed man would be sure, with good... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:1-45

SECTION 1. The Establishment of His Ministry (1:1-3:35). This section commences with Jesus’ emergence from the wilderness as the Spirit anointed King and Servant (Isaiah 11:1-4; Isaiah 42:1-4; Isaiah 61:1-3) Who is God’s beloved Son (Mark 1:11), continues with His initial revelation of Himself as introducing the Kingly Rule of God (Mark 1:15), and as consequently doing mighty works in God’s Name, includes the idea of the formation of a group of disciples who are to extend His ministry (Mark... read more
