Introduction 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Matthew Luke
Mark 5
Verse 1. Matt. viii, 28; Luke viii, 26.
Verse
2. There met him a man with an unclean spirit - St. Matthew
mentions two. Probably this, so particularly spoken of here, was
the most remarkably fierce and ungovernable.
Verse
9. My name is Legion! for we are many - But all these seem to
have been under one commander, who accordingly speaks all
along, both for them and himself.
Verse
15. And they were afraid - It is not improbable they might
otherwise have offered some rudeness, if not violence.
Verse
18. Matt. ix, 1; Luke viii, 37;
Verse
19. Tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee - This
was peculiarly needful there, where Christ did not go in person.
Verse
20. He published in Decapolis - Not only at home, but in all that
country where Jesus himself did not come.
Verse
21. Luke viii, 40.
Verse
22. One of the rulers of the synagogue - To regulate the affairs of
every synagogue, there was a council of grave men. Over these
was a president, who was termed the ruler of the synagogue.
Sometimes there was no more than one ruler in a synagogue.
Matt. ix, 18; Luke viii, 41.
Verse
25. Matt. ix, 20; Luke viii, 43.
Verse
37. John, the brother of James - When St. Mark wrote, not long
after our Lord's ascension, the memory of St. James, lately
beheaded, was so fresh, that his name was more known than that
of John himself.
Verse
40. Them that were with him - Peter, James, and John.
Verse
43. He charged them that no man should know it - That he might
avoid every appearance of vain glory, might prevent too great a
concourse of people, and might not farther enrage the scribes and
Pharisees against him; the time for his death, and for the full
manifestation of his glory, being not yet come. He commanded
something should be given her to eat - So that when either natural
or spiritual life is restored, even by immediate miracle, all proper
means are to be used in order to preserve it.
