マルコによる福音書 6:29-31 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:14-29

Sin-hating righteousness. The growing fame of Jesus reached all parts of the land and all classes of society. Not only the poor and diseased, the neglected and the despised, heard of the compassionate heart and the mighty deeds of the Son of man; the learned were jealous of his influence with the people, and powerful rulers wondered what was the secret of his power. Many were the explanations given of the new Teacher's authority. Whilst some traced a resemblance between him and the olden... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:14-29

Herod: the disordered conscience. The fame of the disciples reaches the ears of Herod, and has the effect of recalling to him a shameful deed of blood with which his memory is charged, and leads him, in contradiction to his Sadducean professions, to declare, John, whom I beheaded; he is risen. Thus two diverse characters are brought near together. There are others in view, but they are not prominent. There is the royal dancer, with her skilfulness and obedience, sacrificing her high... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 14:1 , Matthew 14:2 ; 6-12; Luke 9:7-9 . ― The murder of the Baptist. I. CONJECTURES ABOUT CHRIST . The name of Jesus had now attained great celebrity; it was fast becoming a household word; the cures he had effected, the demons he had ejected from human bodies, the dead he had raised—his wonderful works were on every tongue. Some detracted, others wondered, but most applauded. The missionary tour of the apostles, brief as it was, had given fresh... read more

A soul's tragedy. I. FALSE STEPS . ( Mark 6:17 .) 1 . Unlawful relations . 2 . Resisting the messenger of God . II. CONFLICTING INFLUENCES . The fearless court-preacher and the woman he denounced. The messenger of Truth and the associate in pleasure and vice. Representative of the way in which evil and good incarnate themselves, and work upon the heart of every man. The temptation to which Herod was subject was great; but he was not left without moral witness... read more

The hero's death. I. THE HERO OF CONSCIENCE CONTRASTED WITH THE VOLUPTUARY . The former chooses to be true and loyal to the right rather than to live; the latter postpones everything to "life," in the lowest and most sensual acceptation of the word. Yet the wicked man involuntarily respects the good man. II. THE SLAVE OF SPURIOUS HONOUR CONTRASTED WITH THE SERVANT OF THE TRUTH . Herod excuses his violent deed; nay, he pretends that it is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:29

The taking up of the corpse by the disciples would seem to intimate that it lay uncared for and unburied until the disciples showed their respect for it. Josephus says that after the beheading, the mutilated remains were east out of the prison and left neglected. God's judgments at length found out Herod. For not long after this he was defeated by Aretas in a great battle, and put to an ignominious flight. Herodias herself and Herod were banished by a decree of the Roman Senate to Lyons, where... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:30

The narrative, which had been interrupted by this parenthesis relating to John the Baptist, is now taken up again. The apostles . This is the only place where St. Mark calls them apostles. In the parallel passage, St. Luke ( Luke 9:10 ) says that they told him all that they had done. St. Mark adds, with more detail, and whatsoever ( ὅσα ) they had taught . They gave him a full account of their mission. read more

Telling Jesus. (Cf. Matthew 14:12 , Matthew 14:13 .) Christ the central Figure all through the evangelic narrative. His personal importance is never obscured. It is from him apostles go forth; it is to him they return. Kings note his presence and works, and the people crowd to his ministry. I. WHAT THE APOSTLES TOLD JESUS . "All things whatsoever they had done, and whatsoever they had taught." 1 . They narrated their experience. Most of them had to speak of their... read more

Rest and work. I. THERE IS NO TRUE REST WHICH HAS NOT BEEN EARNED BY WORK . II. THE DUTY OF RESTING HAS THE SAME REASONS AS THE DUTY OF WORKING . III. SOLITUDE IS THE PROPER REFRESHMENT AFTER PUBLIC WORK , AND PREPARATION FOR IT . IV. THE SPIRIT CAN NEVER BE AT LEISURE FROM COMPASSION , SYMPATHY , AND LOVE .—J. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:30-44

No rest for Jesus. The twelve have fulfilled their brief mission of evangelization, have returned to their Master, and tell him of the incidents and results of their mission. Jesus takes occasion to rest, and to give them rest, and with this intent withdraws to a desert place. This passage shows us with what result. I. THE PURPOSES FOR WHICH THE Lord SEEKS RETIREMENT . 1 . Perhaps to escape from the notice of Herod, who, having heard of his fame, may seek to get him... read more
