John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:33

And all the city was gathered together at the door. That is, the inhabitants of the city of Capernaum, a very great number of them at least, who having either heard of, or seen the dispossession of the unclean spirit in the synagogue in the daytime; and being willing to see what miraculous cures might be wrought by Christ upon the diseased and possessed that were brought to him, got together in great crowds about the door of the house of Simon and Andrew where Jesus now was. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:34

And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases ,.... Not that there were some, who had some sorts of diseases, whom he did not heal; but he healed all that came, or were brought to him, which were many, of every sort of disease, which were divers, with which they were afflicted: and cast many devils ; even as many as were brought to him, or were possessed with any: and he suffered not the devils to speak ; either for him, or against him; which shows his great power over them: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:35

And in the morning, rising up a great white before day ,.... On the morrow after the sabbath, on the first day in the morning, notwithstanding the fatigue of the former day, through preaching and working miracles; yet he rose up very early while it was very much within the night, as the light and day were coming on, and before the day broke; though it might be broad day before he departed out of the house, as Luke suggests, Luke 4:42 , he went out ; out of the house of Simon and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:36

And Simon, and they that were with him ,.... Peter, and his brother Andrew, together with James and John, followed after him ; some time after he was gone; for he privately withdrew from them, so that they might not be aware when he went, nor apprized of his departure, for some considerable time; which when they were, they set out, in diligent search, and eager pursuit after him, until they found him. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:37

And when they had found him ,.... In the desert and solitary place, where he had been praying: they said unto him ; in order to engage him to go with them, and as the reason why they sought him with so much eagerness and diligence, all men seek for thee ; not all the men in the world, nor, it may be, all the inhabitants of Capernaum, but a large number of them, who were inquiring after him, some for one thing, some for another; some to see him, what manner of man he was, and some to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:38

And he said unto them, let us go into the next towns ,.... Instead of returning with his disciples to Capernaum, as they expected he would, and especially since there was such a concourse of people got together, he proposes to go to "the next towns"; or "village cities"; towns that were neither villages, nor cities, but between both, as the word signifies: hence the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions render it, "villages and cities": and it designs such towns in which there were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:39

And he preached in their synagogues ,.... Which were in the next towns, in the village cities, and throughout all Galilee : taking every town and city in his circuit, he continued preaching the Gospel of the kingdom in one place and another, until he had gone over the whole country: and cast out devils ; as out of the souls, so out of the bodies of men, whereby he confirmed the doctrine he preached. read more

And there came a leper to him ,.... After he was come down from a certain mountain, in Galilee, where he had been preaching to the people, Matthew 8:1 , and when be was in a certain city, Luke 5:12 , either Capernaum, or some other city of Galilee. This man was full of leprosy, as Luke says, and very probably deemed incurable; of the nature and symptoms of the leprosy; see Gill on Luke 5:12 , beseeching him ; to cure him of his leprosy: and kneeling down to him ; in token of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:41

And Jesus, moved with compassion ,.... At the sad and deplorable case the poor man was in, being a merciful high priest, and not with a desire of popular applause, and vain glory: put forth his hand and touched him ; though the leprosy was spread all over him, and there was no place clean, and touching him was forbidden by the law: and saith unto him, I will be thou clean ; See Gill on Matthew 8:3 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:42

And as soon as he had spoken ,.... The above words, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed ; from it, and which seems to be done not by touching him, but by the words spoken, which were accompanied with such power, as to effect the cure in an instant; See Gill on Matthew 8:3 . read more
