Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 2:18-28

Christ had been put to justify himself in conversing with publicans and sinners: here he is put to justify his disciples; and in what they do according to his will he will justify them, and bear them out. I. He justifies them in their not fasting, which was turned to their reproach by the Pharisees. Why do the Pharisees and the disciples of John fast? They used to fast, the Pharisees fasted twice in the week (Luke 18:12), and probably the disciples of John did so too; and, it should seem, this... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 2:18-20

2:18-20 The disciples of John were in the habit of fasting, as were the Pharisees. So they came to Jesus and said, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, while your disciples do not?" "Surely," Jesus said to them, "his closest friends cannot fast while the bridegroom is still with them? So long as they have the bridegroom they do not fast. But the days will come when some day the bridegroom will be taken away from them--and then, in that day, they will fast." ... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 2:21-22

2:21-22 No one sews a patch of new cloth on to an old garment. If he does the bit that was meant to fill in the hole tears it apart--the new from the old--and the tear is made worse. No one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does the wine will burst the wineskins, and the wine will be lost as well as the wineskins. New skins for new wine! Jesus knew quite well that he was coming with a message which was startlingly new; and he also knew that his way of life was shatteringly different... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 2:23-28

2:23-28 One Sabbath day Jesus was going through the corn fields. His disciples began to pluck the ears of corn as they made their way along. The Pharisees began to say to him, "Look! Why are they doing what is not allowed on the Sabbath?" "Have you never read," he said, "what David did when he and his friends were in need and hungry? Have you never read how he went into the house of God, when Abiathar was High Priest, and ate the shewbread--which none is allowed to eat except the priests--and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 2:18

And the disciples of John and of the Pharisees used to fast ,.... Or "were fasting"; perhaps that very day, and so were the more displeased at this entertainment, Matthew had made for Christ and his disciples, and at their being at it; or fasting was usual with them: they fasted often, both John's disciples, and the disciples of the Pharisees, or the Pharisees themselves; so the Vulgate Latin reads: of their frequent fasting; see Gill on Matthew 9:14 , and they came : both the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 2:19

And Jesus said unto them ,.... Both to John's disciples and the Pharisees, can the children of the bride chamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them ? Suggesting that he was the bridegroom, as John their master had called him, John 3:29 , and that his disciples were the children of the bride chamber; and that it was very unsuitable for them, and very unreasonable to desire them to fast at such a time, and under such a character: wherefore the answer returned by Christ himself to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 2:20

But the days will come ,.... As they were in some sense now come to the disciples of John, their master being taken up by Herod, and confined in prison, and so it was a mourning time with them: when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days : referring to the time of the sufferings and death of Christ, which would be, and was a sorrowful season to his disciples. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 2:21

No man also seweth a piece of new cloth , The traditions of the elders are meant, particularly concerning eating and drinking, and fasting, things before spoken of; and which occasioned this parable, and which were new things in comparison of the commands of God: some of them were of very short standing, devised in, that age; and most, if not all of them, were since the times of Ezra. On an old garment ; the moral and ceremonial righteousness of the Jews, in obedience to the law of God;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 2:22

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles ,.... By "old bottles" are meant, the Scribes and Pharisees, the whole, which needed not a physician, and the righteous, Christ came not to call; and by new wine, either the love of God, which is not shed abroad in the hearts of such persons; or the blessings of the new covenant, which are not bestowed upon them; or the Gospel, which brings an account of both, which is not received by carnal men: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 2:23

And it came to pass ,.... The Vulgate Latin adds, "again"; and so Beza says it was read in one of his copies: that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day, and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn , and to rub them, and get the grain out of them, and eat them; See Gill on Matthew 12:1 . read more
