Marcos 4:30-37 NTV

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 4:20-34

B. The increasing rejection of Jesus and its result 3:20-4:34As Jesus’ ministry expanded, so did rejection of Him as God’s anointed servant. Mark documented the increasing rejection that Jesus experienced (Mark 3:20-35) and then explained that Jesus taught the multitudes in parables as a result (Mark 4:1-34). read more

The parable of the mustard seed 4:30-32 (cf. Matthew 13:31-32; Luke 13:18-19)The third and last parable that Mark recorded Jesus giving to the multitudes stressed the contrast between the kingdom’s insignificant beginnings and its final impressively large size. When Jesus came declaring that the kingdom of heaven was at hand, He began preparations for the inauguration of the kingdom. He planted the seed. That beginning was a very inauspicious one. Even though Jesus had a popular following, He... read more

The summary conclusion 4:33-34 (cf. Matthew 13:34-35)Some of the other parables Jesus taught included the following that Matthew recorded. He taught the parable of the weeds (Matthew 13:24-30; Matthew 13:36-43), and the parable of the yeast hidden in the meal (Matthew 13:33) to the multitudes. He also taught the parables of the hidden treasure (Matthew 13:44), the pearl (Matthew 13:45-46), the dragnet (Matthew 13:47-50), and the householder (Matthew 13:52) to the disciples.Mark concluded his... read more

Jesus and the disciples would have been crossing from the west to the east side of the lake (cf. Mark 5:1). Fewer people lived on the east side. Evidently Jesus wanted to get away from the multitudes that had given Him no rest all that day (Mark 3:20 to Mark 4:34) and before. Mark normally did not give precise time designations. Probably he did so here to impress the reader with Jesus’ extreme busyness that moved Him to withdraw temporarily. read more

The stilling of a storm 4:35-41 (cf. Matthew 8:18, 23-27; Luke 8:22-25)Many unique features of Mark’s narrative indicate that it came from an eyewitness account, probably Peter. These include mention of "that day" (Mark 4:35), "as He [Jesus] was" and the other boats (Mark 4:36), the stern and the cushion (Mark 4:38), and the rebuke, terror, and bewilderment of the disciples (Mark 4:38; Mark 4:41). read more

1. The demonstrations of Jesus’ power 4:35-5:43There are four miracles in this section. Jesus authenticated His words (Mark 4:1-34) with His works (Mark 4:35 to Mark 5:43). He demonstrated power over nature, demons, illness, and death. The purpose of these miracles was to demonstrate Jesus’ ability to vanquish all powers that are hostile to God.

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 4:37-38

The Sea of Galilee was susceptible to sudden violent storms because of its geography."The atmosphere, for the most part, hangs still and heavy, but the cold currents, as they pass from the west, are sucked down in vortices of air, or by the narrow gorges that break upon the lake. Then arise those sudden storms for which the region is notorious." [Note: G. A. Smith, The Historical Geography of the Holy Land, pp. 441-42.] Jesus was probably sleeping on a seat at the stern of the boat that had a... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 4:30

(30) With what comparison shall we compare it?—Literally, By what parable shall we set it forth? The question which introduces the parable is in St. Mark and St. Luke, but not in St. Matthew. It gives us the impression of a question asked, in order to put the minds of the hearers on the stretch, so that they might welcome the answer. read more
