馬可福音 2:23-28 CUNPTS

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:27

The Sabbath was made for man - That he might have the seventh part of his whole time to devote to the purposes of bodily rest and spiritual exercises. And in these respects it is of infinite use to mankind. Where no Sabbath is observed, there disease, poverty, and profligacy, generally prevail. Had we no Sabbath, we should soon have no religion. This whole verse is wanting in the Codex Bezae, and in five of the Itala. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:28

The Son of man is Lord - See on Matthew 12:7 , Matthew 12:8 ; (note). Some have understood this as applying to men in general, and not to Christ. The Son of man, any man is Lord of the Sabbath; i.e. it was made for him, for his ease, comfort, and use, and to these purposes he is to apply it. But this is a very harsh, and at the same time a very lax, mode of interpretation; for it seems to say that a man may make what use he pleases of the Sabbath; and, were this true, the moral... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:24

Verse 24 Mark 2:24.Why do they on the Sabbath what is not lawful? The Pharisees do not blame the disciples of Christ for plucking ears of corn from a field that was not their own, but for violating the Sabbath; as if there had been a precept to this effect, that famishing men ought rather to die than to satisfy their hunger. Now the only reason for keeping the Sabbath was, that the people, by sanctifying themselves to God, might be employed in true and spiritual worship; and next, that, being... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:27

Verse 27 Mark 2:27.The Sabbath was made for man. This Fifth argument is related by Mark alone. The general meaning is, that those persons judge amiss who turn to man’s destruction, (83) the Sabbath which God appointed for his benefit. The Pharisees saw the disciples of Christ employed in a holy work; they saw them worn out with the fatigue of the journey, and partly with want of food; and yet are offended that, when they are hungry, they take a few grains of corn for the support of their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 2:23

If there is a rapid sequence in this part of the narrative, the fasting referred to in the last verses may have taken place the day before. St. Luke ( Luke 6:1 ) here adds to St. Mark's account the words, "and did eat, rubbing them [that is, the ears of corn] in their hands;" an incidental evidence of a simple life, that they did not here eat prepared food, but the simple grains of wheat, which they separated from the chaff by rubbing the ears of corn in their hands. This passage marks with... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 2:23-28

The sabbath. The grounds upon which the Pharisees and scribes took offense at our Lord and his ministry were various. Some of these—as, e.g. , his claim to pardon sin—were very serious; for in such a case Jesus was either an impostor and blasphemer, or he was the Son of God. Others were very trivial, as, e.g. , his neglect of some unauthorized traditions, or his preference of moral duty to observance of the ceremonial law. In this and in the following incident, the sabbath was the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 2:23-28

The sabbath made for man. I. The purpose of The sabbath IS TO BE KEPT IN VIEW IN INTERPRETING ITS OBLIGATIONS . II. RULES WHICH DO NOT HAVE REGARD TO THIS MAY VIOLATE WHAT THEY PROFESS TO PRESERVE . 1 . The disciples were within the written permission of the Law. "To pluck and rub with the hand ears from the field of a neighbor was allowed; Moses forbade only the sickle ( Deuteronomy 23:25 ). But the matter belonged to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 2:23-28

Love greater than law. I. HUMAN LIFE IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MEANS OF LIVING . All laws, ceremonial or otherwise, may be regarded as means towards ends. What end do we know higher than human weal and bliss? Christ points out that this is the real end of legislation—man, his education, his good, physical and spiritual. II. IT IS A GROSS FALLACY TO PUT THE MEANS BEFORE THE END . This the Pharisees did. They said, "Man for the sabbath." Christ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 2:23-28

Parallel passages: Matthew 12:1-8 ; Luke 6:1-5 .— Sabbath observance. I. WORSHIP , NOT AMUSEMENT , SUITS THE SABBATH . The common heading of this section in the Gospels is, "The disciples pluck the ears of corn on the sabbath day," On this occasion our Lord and his disciples were out walking on the sabbath; but they were not walking for pleasure or even for health. They were on their way to the house of God, as we learn from the parallel passage in St. Matthew, where we... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 2:24

That which is not lawful . The supposed unlawfulness was not the plucking of the ears of corn with the hand, which was expressly permitted by the Law ( Deuteronomy 23:25 ), but the plucking and eating on the sabbath day. read more
