Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:45

Began to publish it much - Began to publish πολλα , many things; probably all that he had heard about our Lord's miraculous works. And to blaze abroad the matter - That is, his own healing; thinking he could never speak too much, nor too well, of him who had thus mercifully and miraculously cleansed him. Jesus could no more openly enter into the city - A city of Galilee, probably Chorazin or Bethsaida, in which he did not appear, for fear of exciting the jealousy of the secular... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:44

Verse 44 Matthew 8:4; Mark 1:44.For a testimony to them Some consider testimony to mean here a law or statute, as it is said in the Book of Psalms, God laid down this “ for a testimony to Israel,” (Psalms 122:4.) But this appears to me to be a poor exposition: for I have no doubt that the pronoun to them refers to the priests. (496) Christ said this, in my opinion, with a view to the present occurrence: for this miracle was afterwards to be a sufficiently clear proof for convicting them of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:45

Verse 45 Mark 1:45.So that Jesus could no longer enter openly into cities Hence we learn the reason why Christ did not wish the miracle to be so soon made known. It was that he might have more abundant opportunity and freedom for teaching. Not that his enemies rose against him, and attempted to shut his mouth, but because the common people were so eager to demand miracles, that no room was left for doctrine. He wished that they would all be more attentive to the word than to signs. Luke... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:40

The healing of the leper is recorded in all the three synoptic Gospels; but St. Mark gives more full details. From St. Matthew we learn that it took place after the sermon on the mount; and yet not at the very close of his missionary circuit, St. Luke ( Luke 5:12 ) says that the diseased man was "full of leprosy" ( πλήρης λέπρας ). The disorder was fully developed; it had spread over his whole body; he was leprous from head to foot. This leprosy was designed to be specially typical of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:40-45

The leper healed. Among the many miracles wrought by the Divine Physician upon the bodies and minds of suffering mankind, the evangelists have selected certain as types of the Saviour's spiritual work, as well as illustrations of his beneficent ministry. Every class of sufferers seems to represent some special aspect of sin and need, and every recorded miracle seems to convey some special lesson concerning the Healer's grace and power. Let this narrative be thus regarded, and we find here—... read more

The leper's petition. I. THE GENERAL WORK OF CHRIST , WHEN IT IS KNOWN , ENCOURAGES THE MOST FORLORN AND DESPERATE . The nature of leprosy and the law concerning it. II. SINCERE FAITH , EVEN WHEN IMPERFECT , EVER MEETS WITH THE SYMPATHY AND HELP OF CHRIST . "If thou wilt, thou canst." He believed in his power, but was uncertain as to his willingness. The spirit of the Saviour was therefore concealed from him. Yet Christ answered... read more

The leper. I. FOR THE WORST EVILS THERE IS A REMEDY . If not always in the physical, yet ever in the spiritual sphere. They are cured in effect when they are balanced by some weight of good in the soul. II. IT IS HALF - WAY TO THE REMEDY TO KNOW WHERE IT LIES . The leper knew, and was not ashamed to seek it at the right quarter. Many know who or what will do them good, but are too proud to ask or ashamed to own their need. III. CHRIST IS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:40-45

The cleansing of the leper. The work and wonders of the previous day created so great an excitement that he early rose, "a great while before day," for calmness and the refreshment of solitude and prayer, and finding "a desert place," he there "prayed." O hallowed ground! Simon and his companions follow, and finding him, say, "All are seeking thee." But he "came forth to preach," therefore he would go "elsewhere," and the marvellous account given is, "He went into their synagogues... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 8:2-4 ; Luke 5:12-16 .— The cure of a leper. I. THE DISEASE OF LEPROSY REPRESENTS THE DISEASE OF SIN . Of all the diseases that have found their way into this world in consequence of sin, and which have afflicted the human race, there is, perhaps, none more dreadful than that of leprosy. It was peculiar to Egypt, and native in that country, but passed into Palestine, and prevailed over Syria and Arabia also. It was common among the Jews,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:41

Observe in this verse that Jesus stretched forth his hand and touched the leper. Thus he showed that he was superior to the Law, which forbade contact with a leper. He touched him, knowing that he could not be defiled with the touch. He touched him that he might heal him, and that his Divine power of healing might be made manifest. "Thus," says Bode, "God stretched out his hand and touched the human nature in his incarnation, and restored to the Church those who had been cast out, that they... read more
