Mark 8:11 NIV

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 8:11-21

See this passage explained in Matthew 16:1-12.Mark 8:12Sighed deeply in his spirit - His heart was deeply affected at their wickedness and hypocrisy. The word “spirit” here is taken as the seat of the emotions, passions, affections. He drew groans deeply from his breast.No sign be given - That is, no such sign as they asked, to wit, a sign “from heaven.” He said a sign should be given, the same as was furnished by Jonas, Matthew 16:4. But this was not what they “asked,” nor would it be given... read more

Mark 8:10-13. He entered into a ship, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha Matthew says that, having fed the multitude, he took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala: but the evangelists may easily be reconciled, by supposing that Dalmanutha was a city and territory within the district of Magdala. The Pharisees came forth and began to question with him The Pharisees, having heard of the second miraculous dinner, and fearing that the whole common people would acknowledge him for... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 8:11-21

72. Beware of Pharisees and Sadducees (Matthew 16:1-12; Mark 8:11-21; Luke 12:1-3,Luke 12:54-56)In spite of all that Jesus had done, the Pharisees and Sadducees still demanded he produce a special sign to satisfy them. Jesus refused. They could look at the sky and work out what the weather would be like, but when they looked at Jesus’ miracles they refused to believe what the miracles told them, namely, that Jesus was the Son of God. The only sign Jesus would give them would be his... read more

And the Pharisees came forth and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, trying him.JESUS REFUSING TO PERFORM THE SIGN DEMANDED BY THE PHARISEESThis verse shows that Dalmanutha was on the western side of Galilee, for Jesus was back in the territory of his old enemies who immediately confronted him and demanded that he show them a sign "from heaven." Such a sign they had already received when God himself spake out of heaven upon the occasion of Jesus' baptism, saying,... read more

11. seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him—not in the least desiring evidence for their conviction, but hoping to entrap Him. The first part of the answer is given in Matthew alone (Matthew 16:2; Matthew 16:3): "He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather; for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day: for the sky is red and lowering [sullen, gloomy]. Hypocrites! ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern... read more

C. The second cycle of self-revelation to the disciples 8:1-30The disciples had not yet understood the lessons that Jesus sought to teach them. Mark constructed his Gospel to show that in His discipleship training Jesus repeated lessons to train them. One writer noticed the following repetitive parallel structure in this section of the Gospel. [Note: Lane, p. 269.] read more

IV. THE SERVANT’S SELF-REVELATION TO THE DISCIPLES 6:6B-8:30The increasing hostility of Israel’s religious leaders and the rejection of the multitudes (Mark 3:7 to Mark 6:6 a) led Jesus to concentrate on training His disciples increasingly. This section of Mark’s Gospel shows how Jesus did that. While Jesus gave his disciples increasing responsibility for ministry (Mark 6:6-30), the focus of Jesus’ instruction was His own identity, which the disciples had great difficulty understanding (Mark... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 8:11

Matthew noted that the Sadducees accompanied the Pharisees (Matthew 15:1). They came out from Jerusalem again to argue, not to learn. They asked Jesus to provide some confirmation of His divine authority and trustworthiness. They wanted an immediate, public, definitive proof that God was with Him (cf. Mark 11:30). They had previously concluded that His power came from Satan (Mark 3:22). The miracles that Jesus performed did not convince them. They were not requesting another one of these but a... read more
