Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 8:10-21

Still Christ is upon motion; now he visits the parts of Dalmanutha, that no corner of the land of Israel might say that they had not had his presence with them. He came thither by ship (Mark 8:10); but, meeting with occasions of dispute there, and not with opportunities of doing good, he entered into the ship again (Mark 8:13), and came back. In these verses, we are told, I. How he refused to gratify the Pharisees, who challenged him to give them a sign from heaven. They came forth on purpose... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 8:22-26

This cure is related only by this evangelist, and there is something singular in the circumstances. I. Here is a blind man brought to Christ by his friends, with a desire that he would touch him, Mark 8:22. Here appears the faith of those that brought him?they doubted not but that one touch of Christ's hand would recover him his sight; but the man himself showed not that earnestness for, or expectation of, a cure that other blind men did. If those that are spiritually blind, do not pray for... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 8:1-10

8:1-10 In those days, when there was again a great crowd, and when they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, because they have stayed with me now for three days, and they have nothing to eat. If I send them away to their homes still fasting, they will faint on the road; and some of them have come from a long distance." His disciples answered him, "Where could anyone get bread to satisfy them in a desert place like this?"... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 8:11-13

8:11-13 The Pharisees came out and began to ask him questions. They were looking for a sign from heaven, and they were trying to test him. He sighed in his spirit and said to them, "Why does this generation look for a sign? This is the truth I tell you--no sign will be given to this generation." He sent them away and he again embarked on the boat, and went away to the other side. The whole tendency of the age in which Jesus lived was to look for God in the abnormal. It was believed that... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 8:14-21

8:14-21 They had forgotten to bring loaves, and they had only one loaf with them in the boat. Jesus enjoined them, "Look to it! Beware of the evil influence of the Pharisees and of the evil influence of Herod!" They kept discussing the situation among themselves, and saying, "We have no loaves." Jesus knew what they were saying. "Why," he said, "do you keep talking about the fact that you have no loaves? Do you not yet see and understand? Is your mind completely obtuse? Do you not see... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 8:22-26

8:22-26 They came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to him and asked him to touch him. He took the blind man's hand and took him outside the village. He spat into his eyes and laid his hands on him, and asked him, "Do you see anything?" He looked up and said, "I see men, but I see them walking looking like trees." Again he laid his hands on his eyes. He gazed intently, and his sight was restored and he saw everything clearly. He sent him away to his home. "Do not," he said, "even... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 8:10

And straightway he entered into a ship, with his disciples ,.... As soon as ever he had, dismissed the multitude, he took shipping with his disciples; for he was at the sea of Galilee, either at a place near it, or upon the shore of it; see Mark 7:31 ; and came into the parts of Dalmanutha ; which Matthew calls, "the coasts of Magdala"; See Gill on Matthew 15:39 . The Arabic version reads it, "Magdal"; and in two of Beza's copies it is read, "Madegada"; but the Syriac version reads,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 8:11

And the Pharisees came forth ,.... Out of their houses; who dwelt in the coasts of Magdala, and parts of Dalmanutha, and came to Jesus, hearing of his being arrived in their neighbourhood: and began to question with him ; or to dispute with him, it being their manner to carry on disputations by questions and answers. The Persic version has the question they put, and about which they disputed, "if thou art the Christ"; in proof of which they required a sign: seeking of him a sign from... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 8:12

And he sighed deeply in his Spirit ,.... In his human soul; and which shows that he had one, and was subject to grief and sorrow, and all passions and infirmities, excepting sin. This deep sigh was on account of the hardness of their hearts, the malignity of their minds, and insincerity of their intentions; who had no view to come at truth by this inquiry, but to ensnare him: and saith, why doth this generation seek after a sign ? when so many have been shown among them, and they will... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 8:13

And he left them ,.... As a perverse and hardened generation of men, and as such with whom it was not worth while to discourse: and entering into the ship again ; which brought him over, and waited for him: departed to the other side ; of the sea of Galilee, towards Bethsaida, Mark 8:22 . read more
