Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 9:38

Mark 9:38. Master, we saw one, &c.— Some commentators have supposed, that this was one of the Baptist's disciples, who, though he did not follow Christ with the rest, had been taught by his Master to acknowledge him as the Messiah, and entertained so great a veneration for him, that he attempted to cast out devils in his name. Or if the character given of this person, he followeth not with us, (see Luke 9:49.) and the apostles' prohibition, we forbad him, are thought inconsistent with the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 9:40

Mark 9:40. For he that is not against us, &c.— This is one of those maxims which take different senses, as they are applied to different subjects. The circumstances determine the signification. Our Lord had formerly said, Matthew 12:30. He that is not with me, is against me; thereby giving his hearers a just and necessary admonition, that on the whole, the war between him and Satan admitted of no neutrality, and that those who were indifferent would finally be treated byhim as his enemies.... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 9:44

Mark 9:44. Where their worm dieth not,— These expressions seem to be borrowed from Isaiah 66:24. And they shall go forth and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me; for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. In this passage the prophet is describing the miserable end of hardened sinners, by a similitude taken from the behaviour of conquerors, who, after having gained the battle, and beaten the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 9:47

Mark 9:47. It is better, &c.— From what has been said, Mar 9:42 our Saviour infers, that it is better to deny oneself the greatest earthly satisfactions, and to part with every thing most precious,—represented by the figures of a hand, a foot, an eye, than by these things to cause the weakest of his friends to stumble, as some of the disciples had lately done. The amputation of our hands and feet, and the plucking out of our eyes, when they cause us to offend, import also that we should... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 9:30

30. And they departed thence, and passed—were passing along. through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it—By comparing Matthew 17:22; Matthew 17:23; Luke 9:43; Luke 9:44 with this, we gather, that as our Lord's reason for going through Galilee more privately than usual on this occasion was to reiterate to them the announcement which had so shocked them at the first mention of it, and thus familiarize them with it by little and little, so this was His reason for enjoining... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 9:31

31. For he taught his disciples, and said unto them—"Let these sayings sink down into your ears" (Luke 9:44); not what had been passing between them as to His grandeur, but what He was now to utter. The Son of man is delivered—The use of the present tense expresses how near at hand He would have them to consider it. As BENGEL says, steps were already in course of being taken to bring it about. into the hands of men—This remarkable antithesis, "the Son of man shall be delivered into the hands of... read more
