Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 1:32

And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were possessed of demons.When the sun did set ... From this, and from the fact that the evil spirit had been cast out of a man on the sabbath day (apparently) only a short while previously, it is frequently considered that the people waited until after sundown to avoid violation of the sabbath; but this inference is by no means certain. True, Mark's "straightway" sometimes means "in the very next sequence... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 1:33

And all the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out many demons; and he suffered not the demons to speak, because they knew him.Here it was Matthew who provided the sparkling details that: (1) all the sick were healed; (2) the demons were cast out by a word; and (3) there was here a fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy (Isaiah 53:4). This is contrary to the view that Mark more fully reported material common with the other... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 1:32-33

Mark 1:32-33. And at even, &c.— The news of the miracle above related being spread through the town, those who had sick relations or friends resolved to apply to Jesus for a cure: only, because it was the sabbath, they did not immediately come to him; they waited till the holy rest was ended, which, according to the Jewish form of the day, was at sun-setting; and then they brought their sick in great numbers to him, fullypersuaded that he would heal them. The persons who attended the sick,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 1:32

32. And at even, when the sun did set—so Matthew 8:16. Luke (Matthew 8:16- :) says it was setting. they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils—the demonized. From Luke 13:14 we see how unlawful they would have deemed it to bring their sick to Jesus for a cure during the sabbath hours. They waited, therefore, till these were over, and then brought them in crowds. Our Lord afterwards took repeated occasion to teach the people by example, even at the risk... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 1:33

33. And all the city was gathered together at the door—of Peter's house; that is, the sick and those who brought them, and the wondering spectators. This bespeaks the presence of an eye-witness, and is one of those lively examples of word-painting so frequent in this Gospel. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 1:34

34. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils—In :- it is said, "He cast out the spirits with His word"; or rather, "with a word"—a word of command. and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him—Evidently they would have spoken, if permitted, proclaiming His Messiahship in such terms as in the synagogue; but once in one day, and that testimony immediately silenced, was enough. See on :-. After this account of His miracles of healing, we have... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 1:21-34

B. Early demonstrations of the Servant’s authority in Capernaum 1:21-34This section of the Gospel records three instances of ministry in Capernaum. These were Jesus’ teaching and healing in the synagogue, His healing of Peter’s mother-in-law, and His healing of many others. These events further demonstrated Jesus’ authority. They all occurred on one day, or two days from the Jewish perspective in which a new day began at sunset. Mark implied that this was a typical day of ministry for Jesus. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 1:32-34

3. Jesus’ healing of many Galileans after sundown 1:32-34 (cf. Matthew 8:16-17; Luke 4:40-41)This little pericope shows that the former two healings were not isolated cases. Jesus’ power benefited many people who came to Peter’s house after sundown ended the Sabbath and enabled the Jews to travel farther to obtain His help (cf. Exodus 20:10; Mark 3:1-5)."The two-step progression is the most pervasive stylistic feature in the gospel. It occurs in phrases, sentences, pairs of sentences, and the... read more
