The Author

• Marcus was a Roman name, and a very common one,
  and yet we have no reason to think, but that he
  was by birth a Jew but as Saul, when he went
  among the nations, took the Roman name of Paul,
  so he of Mark, his Jewish name perhaps being
  Mardocai

2 Timothy 411

• Paul commends Mark
• Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and bring him with
  you, because he is helpful (profitable) to me in
  my ministry.

Authorship

• Mark wrote this gospel under the direction of St.
  Peter, and that it was confirmed by his
  authority. St. Jerome said that, after the
  writing of this gospel, he went into Egypt, and
  was the first that preached the gospel at
  Alexandria, where he founded a church, to which
  he was a great example of holy living.

9

• Marks narrative does not proclaim so early as
  those of Matthew and Luke do, from the birth of
  our Savior, but from Johns baptism, from which
  he soon passes to Christs public ministry.

Chapter 3

• Jesus is busy at work in the synagogue first, and
  then by the sea side to teach us that his
  presence should not be confined either to the one
  or to the other, but, wherever any are gathered
  together in his name, whether in the synagogue or
  any where else, there is he in the midst of them.

12
Chapter 4

• In this chapter, we have, I. The parable of the
  seed, and the four sorts of ground (v. 1-9), with
  the exposition of it (v. 1020), and the
  application of it (v. 2125). II. The parable of
  the seed growing gradually, but insensibly (v.
  2629). III. The parable of the grain of
  mustard-seed, and a general account of Christs
  parables (v. 3034). IV. The miracle of Christs
  sudden stilling a storm at sea (v. 3541).

13

• Christs healing the woman with the bloody issue,
  in the way as he was going to raise Jairuss
  daughter to life (v. 2143).

14
Healing

• The wonderful effect produced by it She came in
  the crowd behind him, and with much ado got to
  touch his garment, and immediately she felt the
  cure wrought, v. 29. The flux of blood was dried
  up, and she felt herself perfectly well all over
  her, as well as ever she was in her life, in an
  instant by this it appears that the cure was
  altogether miraculous for those that in such
  cases are cured by natural means, recover their
  strength slowly and gradually, and not per
  saltumall at once but as for God, his work is
  perfect. Note, Those whom Christ heals of the
  disease of sin, that bloody issue, cannot but
  experience in themselves a universal change for
  the better.

17

• Jesus was an itinerant Preacher, did not continue
  long in a place, for the whole land of Canaan was
  his parish, or diocese, and therefore he would
  visit every part of it, and give instructions to
  those in the remotest corners of it. Here we have
  him in the coasts of Judea, by the further side
  of Jordan eastward, as we found him, not long
  since, in the utmost borders westward, near Tyre
  and Sidon. Thus was his circuit like that of the
  sun, from whose light and heat nothing is hid.
