Expositor's Bible Commentary - Mark 6:1-6

Chapter 6CHAPTER 6:1-6 (Mark 6:1-6)REJECTED IN HIS OWN COUNTRY"And He went out from thence; and He cometh into His own country; and His disciples follow Him." Mark 6:1-6 (R.V.)WE have seen how St. Mark, to bring out more vividly the connection between four mighty signs, their ideal completeness as a whole, and that mastery over nature and the spiritual world which they reveal, grouped them resolutely together, excluding even significant incidents which would break in upon their sequence.... read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Mark 6:1

6:1 And {1} he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.(1) The faithless world by no means diminishes the virtue of Christ, but knowingly and willingly it deprives itself of the efficacy of it being offered unto them. read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 6:1-6

Christ Condemned Mar 6:1-6 It was not a ministry that elicited cordial response. Sometimes the teacher has to work with a conscious reluctance which disables him. There is a sense of weariness in the whole tone of this paragraph; it is discoverable even in the attitude and action of the Son of God. This, said he, is the synagogue, and this is the Sabbath day, and this is the sacred roll, historical, prophetical, poetical; but these people do not want to hear me. I know it by their... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 6:1-56

Herod and Herodias [An Analysis] Mark 6:0 (1) Christian doctrine applicable to all classes of men; (2) Christian doctrine calculated to excite the pro foundest surprise; (3) Christian doctrine always conveying the impression of unique power; (4) Christian doctrine showing the insignificance of the personality of its teachers. Even Christ himself, according to the flesh, seemed poor and inadequate when viewed in the light of the wondrous revelations which he made to the world. The questions put... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 6:1-6

CONTENTS. The LORD JESUS is here, spoken of with contempt by his countrymen. He sends forth his Disciples. Herod hears of CHRIST, and is alarmed. JESUS feeds the Multitude. He is seen walking on the Sea. He heals the Sick. AND he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. (2) And when the sabbath-day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Mark 6:1

After the miracles that Christ had performed, though he was not ignorant how much they despised him, yet that there might be no excuse for their disbelief, he condescended to return to them. (Theophylactus) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 6:1-6

1-6 Our Lord's countrymen tried to prejudice the minds of people against him. Is not this the carpenter? Our Lord Jesus probably had worked in that business with his father. He thus put honour upon mechanics, and encouraged all persons who eat by the labour of their hands. It becomes the followers of Christ to content themselves with the satisfaction of doing good, although they are denied the praise of it. How much did these Nazarenes lose by obstinate prejudices against Jesus! May Divine... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 6:1-99

Mark 6 AFTER THESE THINGS, leaving the lakeside He went into the district where His early life had been spent. Teaching in the synagogue, His words astonished them. They quite dearly recognized the wisdom of His teachings and the might of His acts, and yet all this wrought no conviction or faith in their hearts. They knew Him, and those related to Him according to the flesh, and this but blinded their eyes as to who He really was. They were not insulting in their expression of unbelief, as... read more
