Mark 2:26

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 2:1-99

Mark 2 THIS CHAPTER OPENS with another work of power that took place in a private house, when after some time He was again in Capernaum. This time faith of a very robust type comes into view, and that, remarkably enough, on the part of friends and not on the part of the sufferer. The Lord was again preaching the Word. That was His main service; the healing work was incidental. The four friends had faith of the sort that laughs at impossibilities, and says, “It shall be done,” and Jesus saw... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Mark 2:23-28

The Lord of the Sabbath. Mark 2:23-Hosea : v. 23. And it came to pass that He went through the corn-fields on the Sabbath day; and His disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. v. 24. And the Pharisees said unto Him, Behold, why do they on the Sabbath-day that which is not lawful? v. 25. And He said unto them, Have ye never read what David did when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him, v. 26. how he went into the house of God in the days... read more

Fourth, Conflict.—The Ears of Corn on the Sabbath; the Son of Man also Lord of the Sabbath. Mark 2:23-28(Parallels: Matthew 12:1-8; Luke 6:1-5.)23And it came to pass, that he went through the corn-fields [sowed-fields] on the Sabbath-day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn [began to make a way, by plucking off the ears: Meyer]. 24And the Pharisees said unto him, Be hold, why do they on the Sabbath-day that which is not lawful? 25And he said unto them, Have ye never... read more

Mark WORKS WHICH HALLOW THE SABBATH Mar_2:23 - Mar_2:28 . - Mar_3:1 - Mar_3:5 . These two Sabbath scenes make a climax to the preceding paragraphs, in which Jesus has asserted His right to brush aside Rabbinical ordinances about eating with sinners and about fasting. Here He goes much further, in claiming power over the divine ordinance of the Sabbath. Formalists are moved to more holy horror by free handling of forms than by heterodoxy as to principles. So we can understand how the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 2:23-28

the Lord of the Sabbath Mark 2:23-28 ; Mark 3:1-19 The ritualist demands the outward, the conventional, the ancient usage of the past. Christ says, “Be natural.” The needs of man, whether of body or of soul, are greater than ceremonial restriction. Ceremonies are only expressions of life, and where life is wanting, they are meaningless and void. The withered hand, Mark 3:1-6 . Through long disuse of powers which God has given, but which we have refrained from exercising, degeneration may... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 2:1-28

A great principle of the exercise of power by the Master is revealed in the words, "When He saw their faith." There can be no doubt that the word "their" includes the whole party, both the man himself and those who brought him. From the house to the seashore He passed, and the multitudes followed Him. Rapidly and forcefully the story of Levi is told. Called to follow. All abandoned. A feast made, and Jesus the principal Guest, with many of Levi's friends and associates present. Again the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Mark 2:12-28

Helpers and Hinderers Mark 2:12-28 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Back in Capernaum. Once more we find our Master in the city by the sea. He loved Galilee. So many of His wonderful messages and marvelous miracles took place there. He also loved Capernaum, although Capernaum early rejected Him, and forced Him to pronounce a curse upon it. As He came into the city, He blew no trumpet, He advertised in no newspaper, but we read, "It was noised that He was in the house." Straightway many were gathered... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:1-28

Six Incidents In The Life of Jesus Which Reveal His Unique Power and Authority and Lead to the Pharisees Plotting Against Him (1:40-3:6). Jesus’ ministry having been established, and the presence of the Kingly Rule of God having been demonstrated by His power to cast out unclean spirits and heal, we are now presented with a series of incidents which reveal more of Who He is. Through them the glory of Jesus and Who He is, is brought out. The subsection commences with the healing of a seriously... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:23-28

The Son of Man Is Lord of the Sabbath (2:23-28). In this incident we are provided with an example of how the Pharisees sought to cling to the old, while Jesus was introducing the new. The Pharisees believed that there were certain things that epitomised Israel’s covenant with God, and that it would be by observing these fully that they would help to issue in God’s Kingly Rule. These included washing rituals which kept them ‘clean’ from defilement by an outer world which did not observe God’s... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 2:25-26

‘And he said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he had need and was hungry, he and those who were with him? How, in the passage headed ‘Abiathar the High Priest’, he entered into the house of God, and ate the shewbread which it is not lawful to eat, except for the priests, and gave also to those who were with him?” At first this answer seems to have little to do with the question, for there is no suggestion that David did it on the Sabbath (although it is true that that is at a... read more
