Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Mark 12:28-34

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESMark 12:28. The scribe’s question was—Of what nature is the first commandment of all? Has it to do, that is, with Sabbath observance, or with circumcision, or with sacrificial rites—or what?Mark 12:30. Note the prep. ἐξ, before “heart,” “soul,” “mind,” “strength.” The whole of man’s complex being is to go out in love to God. “The measure of our love to God is to love Him without measure.”Mark 12:32. Finely (answered)! Teacher, Thou hast spoken from (the standpoint... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 12:32

Mark 12:32 The Divine Echo in the Human Heart. God's word may be received controversially, speculatively, or lovingly; men may argue about it, or let it argue with them to their conviction and redemption. Take for example the doctrine, Man is a sinner. You may make it a matter of controversy, and by all the poor devices of self-conceit may endeavour to escape its consequences; it may be met with flat denial, or received with many modifications. But take it into the heart, when the heart is in... read more

DISCOURSE: 1451EXCELLENCE OF THE MORAL LAWMark 12:32-34. And the Scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God, and there is none other but he: and to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 12:1-44

Mark's gospel, chapter 12.Now we remember that Jesus is in the temple. This is the day after He had cleansed it again. It is on Tuesday. It is His final week. Sunday He had made His triumphant entry into Jerusalem on the donkey. Monday He came in and cleansed the temple. Now Tuesday He returns to the temple with His disciples, where immediately He is challenged by the religious leaders concerning the authority by which He has done these things.And he began to speak unto them by parables. [And... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 12:1-44

Mark 12:1 . A certain man planted a vineyard. See on Matthew 20:1. The idea conveys an enlarged view of its magnitude, conformably to what is said in Psalms 80:0. and Isaiah 5:0. Mark 12:2 . He sent to the husbandmen a servant. Matthew has the plural, servants. The harmony is, that the steward had servants with him. Those innocent variations tend to strengthen the gospel history: the evangelists did not write in concert. Mark 12:6 . Having yet therefore one son, his well-beloved. ... read more

Mark 12:32Well, Master, Thou hast said the truth. The Divine echo in the human heartMan needs a Saviour. The heart of man answers, “Well, Master, Thou hast said the truth.” What are the practical consequences of our having this responsive faculty?I. Man is made a co-worker with God; not a machine, but a cooperating agent.II. Man enjoys the restraints of conscience. The Bible appeals to and has the consent of conscience.III. God bases His judgment upon this responsive faculty. “To him that... read more
