Mark 6:24 NLT,NIV,ESV

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

The birthday festival: v. 21. And when a convenient day was come, that Herod on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee; v. 22. and when the daughter of the said Herodias came in and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. v. 23. And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom. v. 24. ... read more

2. Beheading of John the Baptist. Mark 6:14-29(Parallels: Matthew 14:1-12; Luke 9:7-9.) 14And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad;) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves [miraculous powers work] in him. 15Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets. 16But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded:6 he is risen from the dead.... read more

Mark THE MARTYRDOM OF JOHN Mar_6:17 - Mar_6:28 . This Herod was a son of the grim old tiger who slew the infants of Bethlehem. He was a true cub of a bad litter, with his father’s ferocity, but without his force. He was sensual, cruel, cunning, and infirm of purpose. Rome allowed him to play at being a king, but kept him well in hand. No doubt his anomalous position as a subject prince helped to make him the bad man he was. Herodias, the Jezebel to this Ahab, was his brother’s wife, and... read more

Martyrdom of a Witness-Bearer Mark 6:21-29 Better the dungeon with John than the palace with Herod, for conscience filled the palace with the ghost of the murdered Baptist! A woman brought Herod to that. How careful women should be of the influence they exert over men; how careful men should be of yielding to any but the noblest influence! This family was eaten with lust, usually coupled with cruelty. No vice ever dwells alone. John the Baptist had a brief and tortuous career; for a few... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 6:1-56

"He could there do no mighty work." Not that He in Himself was unable, for His hands laid on a few sick folk brought healing, but that the condition of wilful and persistent unbelief limited the power of the people to receive. This is the first sending forth of the twelve. There are three definite points of equipment, and they cover the whole area of necessity, from minute detail to the utmost limit of their work. 1. They were "to go shod with sandals." 2. They were to go two by two. 3.... read more

The Beheading of John the Baptist Mark 6:14-30 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. John was great in his separation unto Christ. He lived apart from the people In a vow of separation unto God. Here is a part of the annunciation of the angel Gabriel of John's birth. "He shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink." This was a part of his separation from the world. Does not our God call us all to a similar separation? Here is His call, "Come out from among them, and... read more

Herod, or, Almost But Lost Mark 6:14-31 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The record of Herod shall ever remain as a warning to those who are almost saved. Let us suggest a few others who came close to the door of entrance unto eternal life, and yet were lost. 1. There was Felix as described in Acts 24:24-27 . (1) Felix sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. Observe, then, that Felix had a notable preacher to unfold to him the Gospel. Paul led his thousands to Christ. He turned the... read more

SECTION 3. Jesus’ Ministry Throughout Galilee and In The Surrounding Regions (4:35-9:32). After the initial opening up of the story of Jesus with its continual emphasis on His unique authority, Who He was and what He had come to do (Mark 4:1-3), and the series of parables which have indicated how the Kingly Rule of God was to expand (Mark 4:1-34), Mark now indicates how this expansion continued to occur through the ministry of Jesus in Galilee and the surrounding regions. At the same time he... read more
