Mark 4:35 BSB

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 4:35

Mark 4:35 to Mark 5:43 . Four Wonder-Stories.— The stilling of the tempest, the healing of the demoniac and of the woman, and the raising of Jairus’ daughter form one of the most graphic sections of Mk.’ s narrative. These stories have clearly been often told, and the evangelist delights to tell them. They seem to rest on unmistakable history. Thus the reference to the other little boats ( Mark 4:36) reproduces an insignificant detail that naturally remained in the memory of an eye-witness (... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Mark 4:35-41

This piece of history is related by Matthew and Luke as well as by our evangelist, and that with no considerable variations one from another; what in it wanteth explication, See Poole on "Matthew 8:23", and following verses to Matthew 8:27. Christ had been preaching, and being wearied and tired with the multitude still pressing upon him, gave order to cross the sea, and to go over to the other side; then (to show us he was truly man, and took upon him the infirmities of our nature) he composes... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 4:35

Mark 4:35 Veiled under some real fact in our Lord's life on earth, lie all the revelations of His will in faith and doctrine concerning His Church and His children throughout the ages; so I seem to trace the spiritual teaching of Advent under the storm that befel the disciples on the lake long ago. I. As I see the time when this took place, I learn something. It was eventide nay, it was more than that it was eventide when these disciples braced the halyards and drew up the brown sail, and gave... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 4:35-41

Mark 4:35-41 There are various instances in Sacred Scripture of the effect produced by the revelation of God to man, sometimes by mere power, sometimes by terror, sometimes, as in the drama of Job, by a long discourse of natural history. But here it was the mercifulness, the sympathy, the succour which were manifested, that touched the hearts of the disciples. He came to their rescue; and although the wonder of His power over great natural laws was not without its effect, yet that which seems... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 4:1-41

Shall we turn now in our Bibles to the gospel according to Mark, chapter 4.Beginning in chapter 4, we have the beginning of the ministry of Christ in parables. There is often times a mistaken opinion as to the reason why Jesus went to parables. The purpose of a parable is really not to veil the truth, but to illustrate the truth. And many times when people become dull of hearing, where they will not receive just straight teaching, when you've lost the attention of your students, a method by... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 4:1-41

Mark 4:12 . That seeing they may see, and not perceive. St. Luke gives the true sense of these words, which often occur. Acts 28:26-27. They mark, according to Dr. Lightfoot, the obduracy which fell on the jews, when they shut their eyes against the ministry and miracles of Jesus. On their wilfully doing this, God withdrew his grace. He quotes Procopius on Isaiah to the same effect. “The power of seeing was presented to them from the grace of him who was seen; hence, their not seeing, was... read more
