Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 1:1-45

Let's turn to Mark's gospel.Mark was a young man when Jesus was crucified, perhaps about twelve years old. So, the gospel that he writes is considered to be the understanding that he received from listening to Peter relate the stories of Jesus Christ. Peter does call Mark his son; that would be son in the faith. And Mark was a companion of Peter through much of Peter's ministry, and thus, heard Peter relate these stories of Jesus Christ. And so in his gospel, you have pretty much Peter's... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 1:1-45

Mark 1:1 . The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. This commencement is laconic, beautiful, and perspicuous. Several Greek authors begin their books in this independent way. It asserts the divine and human geniture of Christ. He is the Seed, the Son of the woman, of Abraham, of David. Pagan fable, which once had pure tradition for its origin, asserts the same. To apostatize from this faith is an apostasy from the faith of the primitive world. They all expected the... read more

Mark 1:14Now after that John was put in prison.Hindrances no injuryBut John had been doing a good work, doing an important work, doing the very work that God had planned for him to do. Why did the Lord let him be put in prison? Just such interruptions as that to the best men’s work, and just such trials as this to the best of men, are in the Lord’s plan of the progress of his work, and of the training of His people. When old Father Mills, of Torringford, Connecticut, heard that his son, Samuel... read more

Mark 1:15And saying, The time is fulfilled.Repentance and faithI. The import of the exhortation.1. By the repentance to which we are exhorted we are not to understand merely an external reformation. To the. Pharisees such an exhortation would have been inappropriate and useless. Their outward conduct was exemplary. Nor can we suppose that the repentance to which we are exhorted is a mere sense of sorrow and regret on account of the afflictive and penal consequences to which our transgressions... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 1:14

14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, Ver. 14. Jesus came into Galilee ] To decline Herod’s rage. And whereas it may seem that our Saviour herein took a wrong course, since Herod was governor of Galilee; we must know that the Pharisees were the men that delivered up John to Herod, Matthew 17:11-12 ; and that but for them there was no great fear of Herod. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 1:15

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Ver. 15. And saying, The time is fulfilled ] These were four of our Saviour’s sermon heads. The prophets of old were wont to set down some short notes of their larger discourses to the people, and to fasten them to the doors of the temple till the people had read them. a And then they were taken down by the priests, and laid up for the use of posterity. Repent ye and believe, &c.... read more
