A great multitude from the city.Mark 1:34And suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him - They knew that he was the Messiah.If they had spoken, they would have made that known to the people. Jesus was not desirous at that time that that should be publicly known, or that his name should be blazoned abroad. The time had not come when he... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 1:29-34

Mark 1:29-34. They entered into the house of Simon That is, of Peter. See the notes on Matthew 8:14-17. And all the city was gathered together at the door Namely, of the house in which Jesus was; some coming as humble petitioners for themselves or their friends, others as spectators of the surprising miracles which he wrought, and some probably to hear and be instructed by his discourses. O what a fair prospect was here! Who could then have imagined that all these blossoms would die away... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 1:29-39

29. Many sick people healed (Matthew 4:23-25; Matthew 8:14-17; Mark 1:29-39; Luke 4:38-44)Further examples of the ministry of Jesus show the presence and power of the kingdom of God in healing those afflicted by Satan (Matthew 4:23-25; Mark 1:29-34). (For the significance of the kingdom of God see earlier section, ‘Jesus and the Kingdom’.) On one occasion when Jesus was staying in Capernaum, he went outside the town to find a quiet place to pray to his Father. Peter thought he was losing... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 1:32

And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed of demons.When the sun did set ... From this, and from the fact that the evil spirit had been cast out of a man on the sabbath day (apparently) only a short while previously, it is frequently considered that the people waited until after sundown to avoid violation of the sabbath; but this inference is by no means certain. True, Mark's "straightway" sometimes means "in the very next sequence... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 1:32-33

Mark 1:32-33. And at even, &c.— The news of the miracle above related being spread through the town, those who had sick relations or friends resolved to apply to Jesus for a cure: only, because it was the sabbath, they did not immediately come to him; they waited till the holy rest was ended, which, according to the Jewish form of the day, was at sun-setting; and then they brought their sick in great numbers to him, fullypersuaded that he would heal them. The persons who attended the sick,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 1:32

32. And at even, when the sun did set—so Matthew 8:16. Luke (Matthew 8:16- :) says it was setting. they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils—the demonized. From Luke 13:14 we see how unlawful they would have deemed it to bring their sick to Jesus for a cure during the sabbath hours. They waited, therefore, till these were over, and then brought them in crowds. Our Lord afterwards took repeated occasion to teach the people by example, even at the risk... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 1:21-34

B. Early demonstrations of the Servant’s authority in Capernaum 1:21-34This section of the Gospel records three instances of ministry in Capernaum. These were Jesus’ teaching and healing in the synagogue, His healing of Peter’s mother-in-law, and His healing of many others. These events further demonstrated Jesus’ authority. They all occurred on one day, or two days from the Jewish perspective in which a new day began at sunset. Mark implied that this was a typical day of ministry for Jesus. read more

3. Jesus’ healing of many Galileans after sundown 1:32-34 (cf. Matthew 8:16-17; Luke 4:40-41)This little pericope shows that the former two healings were not isolated cases. Jesus’ power benefited many people who came to Peter’s house after sundown ended the Sabbath and enabled the Jews to travel farther to obtain His help (cf. Exodus 20:10; Mark 3:1-5)."The two-step progression is the most pervasive stylistic feature in the gospel. It occurs in phrases, sentences, pairs of sentences, and the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:1-45

Baptism of Jesus. Beginning of the Ministry1-8. Appearance of John the Baptist (Matthew 3:1; Luke 3:1). See on Mt and Lk. St. Mark’s Gospel, being based on the reminiscences of Peter, begins with the public ministry of Jesus, or, rather, with His connexion with the Baptist, through which Peter and other apostles first became acquainted with Him. It, therefore, omits the birth narratives, although it is possible that St. Mark was acquainted with them (see on Mark 6:3).1. The beginning] It is... read more
