Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 1:29-39

In these verses, we have, I. A particular account of one miracle that Christ wrought, in the cure of Peter's wife's mother, who was ill of a fever. This passage we had before, in Matthew. Observe, 1. When Christ had done that which spread his fame throughout all parts, he did not then sit still, as some think that they may lie in bed when their name is up. No, he continued to do good, for that was it he aimed at, and not his own honour. Nay, those who are in reputation, had need be busy and... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 1:40-45

We have here the story of Christ's cleansing a leper, which we had before, Matt. 8:2-4. It teaches us, 1. How to apply ourselves to Christ; come as this leper did, (1.) With great humility; this leper came beseeching him, and kneeling down to him (Mark 1:40); whether giving divine honour to him as God, or rather a less degree of respect as a great Prophet, it teaches us that those who would receive grace and mercy from Christ, must ascribe honour and glory to Christ, and approach to him with... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 1:29-31

1:29-31 And immediately, when they had come out of the synagogue, they went, along with Peter and John, into the house of Simon and Andrew. Peter's mother-in-law was in bed with an attack of fever. Immediately they spoke to Jesus about her. He went up to her and took her by the hand and raised her up, and the fever left her, and she attended to their needs. In the synagogue Jesus had spoken and acted in the most amazing way. The synagogue service ended and Jesus went with his friends to... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 1:32-34

1:32-34 When evening had come and when the sun had set, they kept bringing to him all those who were ill and demon-possessed. The whole city had crowded together to the door; and he healed many who were ill with various diseases and cast out many demons; and he forbade the demons to speak because they knew him. The things that Jesus had done in Capernaum could not be concealed. The emergence of so great a new power and authority was not something which could be kept secret. So the evening... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 1:35-39

1:35-39 Very early, when it was still night, Jesus rose and went out. He went away to a deserted place and there he was praying. Simon and his friends tracked him down and said to him, "They are all searching for you," Jesus said to them, "Let us go somewhere else, to the nearby villages, that I may proclaim the good news there too, for that is why I came forth." So he went to their synagogues, all over Galilee, proclaiming the good news as he went, and casting out demons. Simply to read... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 1:40-45

1:40-45 A leper came to him, asking him to help him and kneeling before him. "If you are willing to do so," he said, "you are able to cleanse me." Jesus was moved with pity to the depths of his being. He stretched out his hand and touched him. "I am willing," Jesus said, "be cleansed." Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. Immediately Jesus sent him away with a stern injunction. "See to it," he said to him, "that you tell no man anything about this; but go and show yourself to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:29

And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue ,.... Christ having wrought this miracle, and finished his sermon, and the whole synagogue service being over, when it was usual for every one to repair to their own houses, or their friends, for refreshment; he, and they that were with him, departed from it, and directly, being not far from it, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew ; who being brethren, dwelt together in a house at Capernaum, where it seems they were now... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:30

But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever ,.... "A great fever", Luke says, Luke 4:38 ; a very violent one, which threatened with death, and must be very dangerous to an old person; See Gill on Matthew 8:14 , And anon they tell him or her ; for it seems, that not as soon as he came into the house, but some time after, when he had sat awhile, and rested himself after his fatigue in preaching; they acquainted him with her case, and beseeched him to look upon her, and restore her:... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:31

And he came and took her by the hand ,.... He went into the room where she lay, and took hold of her hand; not to feel her pulse, and thereby judge of the nature and strength of her disorder, as physicians do; nor merely in a friendly manner, as is customary, but in order to restore her: and lift her up ; to sit upright in the bed, who before was laid along upon it, so weak as not to be able to turn herself, much less to sit erect by any assistance whatever: and immediately the fever... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:32

And at even, when the sun did set ,.... At which time the Jews' sabbath was ended; See Gill on Matthew 8:16 , for this was a sabbath day, Mark 1:21 , when according to them, it was not lawful to heal; nor did they offer to bring their sick to him on that day; but the last of the two evening days being come, and the sun set, the sabbath was over; and therefore being under no restraint on account of that, they brought unto him all that were diseased ; with any sort of disease whatever,... read more
