James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Mark 1:1-45

BEGINNING CHRIST ’S MINISTRY Study this lesson in comparison with Matthew to discover what Mark omits and what, if anything, he adds; and then consider the same in its bearing on the object or purpose of the Gospel as described in the “Introductory” lesson. The following analysis will aid: Introduction (Mark 1:1 ) · Testimony of John the Baptist (Mark 1:2-8 ) · Testimony of God the Father (Mark 1:9-11 ) · Victory in the Wilderness (Mark 1:12-13 ) · Call of the Disciples (Mark 1:14-20 ) ·... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 1:1-8

The Threefold Beginning of the Gospel Mar 1:1-8 The gospel may be said to have three beginnings, and yet it is perfectly correct to say that each beginning has a speciality and completeness of its own. The beginning of the gospel is, of course, to be found in the thought and love of God. We may cast our lines back as far as we can through the ages of eternity, and we shall never be able to find the point at which God's concern for the welfare of the universe that was to be first began, and... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 1:1-11

THE beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; (2) As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. (3) The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. (4) John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. (5) And there went out unto him all the land of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him... read more

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

See Matthew iii. 4. --- Wild honey. Rabbanus thinks it was a kind of white and tender leaf, which, when rubbed in the hand, emitted a juice like honey. Suidas thinks it was a kind of dew, collected from leaves of trees, and was called manna. But St. John Chrysostom, Theophylactus, Euthymius, and St. Isidore, with greatest probability, think it was honey collected by wild bees, in the fissures of rocks or in the holes of decayed trees, which was insipid and unpleasant to the taste.

Frank Binford Hole

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

Mark 1 THE WRITER of this Gospel was that “John, whose surname was Mark,” ( Act_15:37 ), who failed in his service when with Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey, and who afterwards became a bone of contention between them. He first failed himself, and then became the occasion of further failure with others greater than himself. This was a sorry beginning to his story, but eventually he was so truly restored that he became serviceable to the Lord in the exalted work of writing... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 1:5

The effect of John's preaching: v. 5. And there went out unto him all the land of Judea and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. A man with a message such as John's, supplemented by the oddity of his dress and habits, was bound to attract attention anywhere, even where his message was not welcome in its real significance. The inhabitants of the Judean hills heard of the hermit first, and came out of curiosity. But the fame of the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 1:6-8

John's appearance and message of Christ: v. 6. And John was clothed with camel's hair and with a girdle of skins about his loins; and he did eat locusts and wild honey; v. 7. and preached, saying, There cometh One mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose. v. 8. I indeed have baptized you with water; but He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. The appearance of John did much to call attention to his message, especially as the people... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Mark 1:2-11

Mark THE STRONG FORERUNNER AND THE STRONGER SON Mar_1:1 - Mar_1:11 . The first words of In Memoriam might be taken to describe the theme of Mark’s Gospel. It is the ‘strong Son of God’ whom he sets forth in his rapid, impetuous narrative, which is full of fiery energy, and delights to paint the unresting continuity of Christ’s filial service. His theme is not the King, as in Matthew; nor the Son of Man, as in Luke; nor the eternal Word manifested in flesh, as in John. Therefore he neither... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 1:1-20

the Beginning of Jesus’ Ministry Mark 1:1-20 The ministry of John the Baptist, Mark 1:1-8 . Always the message of John precedes that of Jesus Christ; first the changed attitude of the will, then faith. The greatness of the Baptist revealed itself in his humility. He saw what we must see, that a negative religion, symbolized by water, is not enough: we need to be set on fire. The opening pages of Christ’s public life, Mark 1:9-20 . Jesus was recognized by the Baptist, who beheld the opened... read more
