マルコの福音書 6:21-28 JCB

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:21

Lords - Μεγιστασιν , probably governors of particular districts. High captains - Χιλιαρχοις ; literally, chiefs or captains over a thousand men, military chiefs. Chief estates - Πρωτοις ; probably such as might be called nobles by title only, having no office civil or military; probably magistrates. See Kypke an the place. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:23

Unto the half of my kingdom - A noble price for a dance! This extravagance in favor of female dancers has the fullest scope in the east, even to the present day. M. Anquetil du Perron, in the preliminary discourse to his Zend Avesta, p. 344 and 345, gives a particular account of the dancers at Surat. This account cannot be transcribed in a comment on the Gospel of God, however illustrative it might be of the conduct of Herodias and her daughter Salome: it is too abominable for a place here.... read more

For their sakes which sat with him - Probably these persons joined in with the request, and were glad of this opportunity to get this light of Israel extinguished; he being a public reprover of all their vices. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:24

Verse 24 Mark 6:24.And she went out, and said to her mother We need not wonder that Herodias attached so much importance to John’s death. (367) The conjecture thrown out by some—that she was actuated by revenge,—is not at all probable. It was rather the dread of being cast off that inflamed and tormented her; as it usually happens that, when adulterers are visited with feelings of uneasiness, they become ashamed of their own lust. But she hoped that this crime would bind Herod more closely to... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:26

Verse 26 26.And the king being sorry. His heart, as we have said, was no longer influenced by religious sentiments; but, foreseeing the detestation that will be excited by such a crime, he dreads both the loss of character and positive harm, and consequently repents of his levity. And yet he has not the courage to give a refusal to a dancing girl, lest he should incur the reproach of unsteadiness; as if it were more dishonorable to retract a rash and foolish promise than to persist in a heinous... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:28

Verse 28 28.And gave it to the girl. It was an additional aggravation of this detestable crime, that the head of the holy man was made, after his death, a matter of sport. But in this way the Lord sometimes gives up his people to the pride of wicked men, till he at length makes it evident that their blood is precious in his sight (Psalms 116:15.) Herodias is delighted with the thought of having gained her wicked purpose, and cruelly triumphs over her reprover; but when afterwards, stripped of... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:14-29

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:17-29

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
