Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 8:25

Then again he laid his hands upon his eyes; and he looked stedfastly, and was restored, and saw all things clearly.Despite the fact of there being two stages in the man's healing, it was nevertheless accomplished almost immediately, the cure itself being dramatic and complete, and bearing eloquent testimony to the power and godhead of him who wrought it. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Mark 8:26

And he sent him away to his home, saying, Do not even enter into the village.The understanding of this commandment to the blind man lies in the identity of the village he was forbidden to enter, namely, Bethsaida. Jesus was reported in Matthew to have said:Woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day... read more

Mark 8:11. Began to question with him,— Συζητειν, to dispute. Heylin. This may refer to the ancient method of disputation, which was carried on by question and answer. Dr. Doddridge renders it began to examine him. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:12

Mark 8:12. There shall no sign be given— Ει δοθησεται . I am not alive, if a sign, &c. That this is an elliptical form of adjuration, is evident from Heb 3:11 in the original. The oath must be supplied thus: Let me not be true, if they shall enter into my rest,—if a sign shall be given, &c. Or as in Ezekiel 14:16. I live not, if sons or daughters be delivered, See the LXX. and Bos's Ellipses. Some MSS. and versions read ου δοθησεται, shall not be given. See Wetstein. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:15

Mark 8:15. And of the leaven of Herod.— See the note on Matthew 22:16. It seems evident from this passage, that the Herodians were of the sect of the Sadducees; for what St. Mark calls the leaven of Herod, St. Matthew, in the parallel passage, calls the leaven of the Sadducees. Herodian, therefore, was but another name for such sort of Sadducees as maintained the expediency of submitting to the innovations introduced by Herod and the Romans; for it may easily be thought, that those who favoured... read more

Mark 8:18. And do ye not remember?— Continue this on with what follows, and it seems to connect more properly. Do ye not remember, when I broke the five loaves, how many baskets? &c. As in Matthew 16:9. See Bowyer's Conjectures on Mark. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 8:22-26

Mark 8:22-26. And they bring a blind man, &c.— Two things are remarkable in this miracle: first, our Lord led the man out of the town, before he would heal him; and, when the cure was performed, he forbad him to return thither, or so much as to tell it unto any who lived in the town. The reason was, the people had for a long time been solicitous to have him acknowledged as the Messiah; and every new miracle which they beheld, moved them afresh to make the attempt. Nor could the inhabitants... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 8:10

10. And straightway he entered into a ship—"into the ship," or "embarked." with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha—In Matthew ( :-) it is "the coasts of Magdala." Magdala and Dalmanutha were both on the western shore of the lake, and probably not far apart. From the former the surname "Magdalene" was probably taken, to denote the residence of Mary Magdalene. Dalmanutha may have been a village, but it cannot now be identified with certainty. read more

11. seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him—not in the least desiring evidence for their conviction, but hoping to entrap Him. The first part of the answer is given in Matthew alone (Matthew 16:2; Matthew 16:3): "He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather; for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to-day: for the sky is red and lowering [sullen, gloomy]. Hypocrites! ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern... read more
