马可福音 6:53-56 CUNPSS

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:53

They came into the land of Gennesaret; literally ( ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἦλθον εἰς γεννησαρέτ ), they came to the land unto Gennesaret. This was the plain on the western side of the sea sometimes called "the lake of Gennesaret." The name Gennesaret (says Cornelius a Lapide) means "a fertile garden." There was a city originally called "Chinnereth" or "Cinneroth," mentioned in Joshua 19:25 , which probably gave one of its names to this lake. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:53-56

The popularity of the Divine Physician. At this time the tide of Christ's popularity was at the flood. In a few verses, the evangelist strikingly depicts the general excitement which the presence of the Prophet of Nazareth awakened amidst the thronging and busy population. I. THE PRESENCE OF THE DIVINE PHYSICIAN AMONG THE PEOPLE . Jesus sometimes retired to desert solitudes; but, for the most part, he chose to live among the people, and to be accessible to all classes... read more

Commotion in Gennesaret. I. A STIR AMONG THE , SICK AND THEIR FRIENDS . We read of "fashionable events" and "arrivals in the fashionable world." This was not such. The quality of a movement teaches much as to its origin. The poor and sick know their friends, and their thronging is a testimonial to worth. II. THE PROGRESS OF HEALING AND PITY . Contrast with the progress of the conqueror or the cold pomp of royalty. Wherever Christ goes, and men come into... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 6:54-56

Straightaway the people knew him . Some, no doubt, had known him before, he was now the general object of interest and attraction wherever he went. They began to carry about on their beds ( ἐπὶ τοῖς κραββάτοις ) those that were sick, where they heard he was . The original is very expressive ( ὅπου ἤκουον ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐστι where they heard , He is there. But the best authorities omit ἐκεῖ . Villages, or cities, or fields (Greek, ἀγρούς ); literally, ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:45-56

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 14:22-36.Mark 6:52They considered not the miracle of the loaves - They did not remember or call to mind the “power” which Jesus had shown in feeding the five thousand by a miracle, and that, having done that, he had power also to save them from the storm.Their heart was hardened - Their “mind” was dull to perceive it. This does not mean that they were “opposed” to Jesus, or that they had what we denominate “hardness of heart,” but simply that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 6:45-56

66. Jesus walks on the sea (Matthew 14:22-36; Mark 6:45-56; John 6:15-21)On seeing Jesus’ miracle with the bread and fish, many wanted to make him king immediately. This no doubt would have pleased many of Jesus’ followers, but for him it presented a possible temptation. He therefore sent his disciples to Bethsaida, while he escaped into the hills where he could be alone and pray (Matthew 14:22-23; Mark 6:45-46; John 6:15).Bethsaida was not far from the place where Jesus had fed the five... read more
