Mark 8:13-26

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 8:11-13

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 8:13

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 8:14

Now the disciples had, forgotten to take bread ,.... At Dalmanutha, or Magdala, or whatever place in those parts they were at, before they took shipping, as was their usual method. Neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf ; for thirteen passengers of them. The Persic version reads the whole thus: "and they forgot to take bread with them, not indeed one loaf, and there was no bread with them in the ship"; See Gill on Matthew 16:5 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 8:15

And he charged them ,.... When they were in the ship, and had just recollected themselves, that they had took no care to bring any provisions with them: saying, take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees; and of the leaven of Herod : in Matthew, instead of "the leaven of Herod", it is read, "the leaven of the Sadducees": which are either the same, Herod and his courtiers being Sadducees, or favourers of them; or the Sadducees being sticklers for Herod, and his government, which the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 8:16

And they reasoned among themselves ,.... Upon Christ's giving this caution, and recollecting with themselves, that they had forgot to buy any provisions, and take with them: saying, it is because we have no bread ; that he says these words; tacitly chiding and reproving us, for our want of thought and care; See Gill on Matthew 16:7 . read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 8:17

And when Jesus knew it ,.... As he did immediately, by his omniscience; for as he knew the thoughts and reasonings of the Scribes and Pharisees, Matthew 9:4 , so he did those of his own disciples: he saith unto them, why reason ye because ye have no bread ? or imagine that I have given you this caution on that account; or are distressed because this is your case, as if you should be reduced to great difficulties, by reason of your forgetfulness and negligence: perceive ye not yet,... read more
