Mark 1:35-39. And in the morning, a great while before day Εννυχου λιαν , When the night was very far advanced, or, when it was yet deep night, he went out, &c. Thus diligently did the Son of God labour for us! After the preceding day had been spent in preaching, and the evening in working miracles, Jesus allowed himself but a very short repose. And departed into a solitary place Withdrawing not only from the multitude, but even from his disciples; for the company of the best... 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 1:35

And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose up and went out, and departed into a desert place, and there prayed.A great while before day ... Christ gave the top of the day to meditation and prayer, and his followers could do no better than to follow his example. It might be speculated that Christ arose thus early to escape the applause of men so profusely available following his miracles, but there was the far more important message of the kingdom to be advertised; and Christ's... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 1:35

Mark implied that these events happened the next day. Many people would have slept late after such a busy day, but Jesus rose early, even before dawn, and went to a remote (Gr. eremon, Mark 1:4, wilderness, cf. Mark 1:12) place to pray (Gr. proseucho, the general word for prayer). This sacrificial act paints Jesus as consciously dependent on His Father for strength and direction for what lay ahead of Him (i.e., a servant; cf. Isaiah 50:4). It also implies further conflict with Satan since Satan... read more

1. The first preaching tour of Galilee 1:35-39 (cf. Luke 4:42-44)While these verses record the itinerant ministry of Jesus, Mark’s emphasis was clearly on Jesus’ spiritual preparation for that ministry. It highlighted His dependence on His Father. 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
