The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:1-6

The carpenter; or, the dignity of honest labour " In his own country," "in the synagogue" where he had learned in his youth, he now "began to teach." There were "many" who knew him, who had seen him pass in and out amongst them, talking to them, perhaps like, yet unlike, the other growing youths and the young men working for them, an artisan—one of many. These "hearing him were astonished;" and though "the wisdom," of his teaching they could not deny, nor the "mighty works" wrought by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:1-6

Christ at home. I. THE WONDROUS IN EVERY - DAY LIFE . When they heard him in the synagogue they were "much struck," Mark says. Where did all this wisdom come from? So does the parent wonder at the sayings of the child. "Where did he get such thoughts?" The boy goes from the village, and soon comes back to astonish the gossip, with his broad views of life and his easy and confident manners. Experience is full of these surprises. Nothing is more astonishing now than the empire... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:1-6

Parallel passage: Matthew 13:54-58 .— The refection at Nazareth. I. Our LORD 'S VISIT TO NAZARETH . This chapter commences with our Lord's removal from the house of Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, where he had performed the miracle recorded at the close of the last chapter; or rather from Capernaum, where the synagogue appears to have been situated. In either case he proceeded to visit his fatherland—not in the wide sense of that term, but in the narrower meaning of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:2-6

The twofold wonder awakened by the gospel. I. IN MEN . 1 . Because of contrast between the apparent origin and the Divine pretensions of Christ. 2 . Because of the seeming disproportion between the results actually produced and the instruments. A curious phase this of human incredulity, as if the works did not speak for themselves! Failing the discovery of an evidently great cause, the results themselves are not credited with being what they seem to be. This is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:5-6

And he could there do no mighty work . This is a remarkable expression. He could do no mighty work there. The words imply want of power—that in some sense or other he was unable to do it. He did indeed perform some miracles. He laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them; but he wrought none of his greater miracles there. Of course, even these less striking miracles ought to have sufficed. in a miracle there must be the suspension of some known law of nature; and one clear... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:6

Christ ministering to the villages. I. REJECTED IN ONE DIRECTION , THE SAVIOUR BEGINS AFRESH ELSEWHERE . 1 . Indomitable zeal , and inextinguishable love for souls. 2 . Divine wisdom. The sinning city or individual not altogether abandoned even when left alone. When the Redeemer cannot work within a heart, he will work about it. Where faith is not at once forthcoming, evidence is accumulated, and the unbelieving are approached from new directions and points... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:7

At Mark 3:7 we had the account of our Lord's selection of the twelve. Here we find the notice of their being first sent forth. Their names have already been recorded. He gave them authority —mark the imperfect ( ἐδίδου )— over unclean spirits . St. Matthew ( Matthew 10:1 ) adds, "and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease." But St. Mark here fixes the attention upon the great central object of Christ's mission—to contend against evil in every form, and especially... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:7-12

Preparations for preaching. From amongst his disciples our Lord selected a few who were to be in a peculiar sense his representatives and ambassadors, and they have had their successors in all the ages of Christendom. Mark significantly says," Then Jesus began to send them forth;" for ever since that day he has been giving similar work, and qualifying similar representatives. A study of their characteristics and of their instructions may be profitable to us. I. THEY WERE TO GO... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:7-13

The mission of the twelve. The twelve disciples now first became apostles. This sending forth was a prelude to their life-long mission, to be fulfilled alter their Lord's ascension. They had now been long enough with the Master not only to have imbibed much of his spirit, but to have learned the nature of his ministry and to have entered into its methods. Their evangelistic journey would be disciplinary to themselves and profitable to the population of Galilee, and it would increase and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:7-13

The mission of the twelve. Already the Master had called them more than once. He had "many things to say" unto them, and was ever drawing them into closer sympathy with himself, and a higher sense of individual responsibility. St. Mark is not so full as St. Matthew, but from what he does tell us we are able to understand the nature of the work and its reason. The disciples are now to become apostles. I. CHRIST PREPARES AND AUTHORIZES HIS OWN MINISTERS . There was need for... read more
