Mark 1:32 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

The casting out of the demon in the man at the synagogue, followed by the healing of Simon and Andrew’s mother, sparked a massive rally. Miracles like these quickly spread Jesus’ renown—which, of course, was partly why he performed them.

Mark 1:34 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Why wouldn’t Jesus allow the demons to speak because they “knew who He was”? He likely silenced them because He wasn’t ready to reveal that He was the Messiah. Once that revelation came out, his days would be numbered. As we see throughout the Gospels, the revelation was well timed.

Mark 1:38 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Jesus no doubt received an answer to his prayers. After an exhausting day, he sought a private place to pray. The disciples wanted him to return to the people and continue healing them (Mark’s word for their looking for him suggests something more aggressive, like “track down” or “hunt”). But Jesus also had a message to deliver, and after praying to God, he decided he must continue preaching.

Mark 1:40 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

In Jesus’ day, “leprosy” referred to a variety of skin diseases, not just Hansen’s disease as we know it today. These diseases could still be highly contagious. Lepers could go outside, but the law required them to stay apart from others and shout “Unclean! Unclean!” if anyone approached. He could have healed the man with a touch alone, but chose to show compassion by touching him.

Jesus touching the man must have stunned those who witnessed it. But his actions showed more than just compassion. Lepers were considered ceremonially unclean, and thus Jesus’s actions would have been a violation of Old Testament Law. Thus, Jesus was showing that his view of the Law was different.

Mark 1:43 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

The original text shows that Jesus warned the man sternly, but not angrily, to keep quiet about his healing. Still, Jesus told him to go to the priest, as Old Testament law prescribed, as testimony to his healing. Jesus may have wanted the priest to know that he had healed the man. Or he may simply have been trying to restore the man’s standing in the community by having him follow the ritual cleansing process.

Mark 1:44 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Jesus warned the man not to tell anyone how he had been healed. There was nothing wrong with sharing the news of his miraculous healing, but Jesus needed him to wait until the time was right. He knew that once the authorities heard what he was doing, they would see him as a threat to the foundations of the Jewish faith—or at least to their understanding of it at the time. Jesus had come to correct misconceptions about the Old Testament and turn it on its head. The revelation of his true nature needed to be carefully controlled until the time was right.

Mark 2:1 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Jesus returns to Capernaum, possibly still staying at Simon Peter and Andrew’s home, but the crowds continue to follow him—exactly why he told the leper not to tell anyone who had healed him. The detail that there was no room “even outside the door” suggests the crowd was enormous, filling the street in front of the home.

Mark 2:4 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

In ancient Israel, the roofs of homes were typically accessible via an outdoor ladder or staircase. The roofs were constructed of thatch and compacted earth. Thus, the men carried the lame man up the outside staircase and dug away the earth from the roof to create a hole through which they lowered the man.

Mark 2:6 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Thus, the conflict between Jesus and the Jewish elders begins. They may not have voiced their concerns or banded together to plot against Jesus yet, but these verses show that they were beginning to question his teachings.

Mark 2:8 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Jesus knew what the Teachers of the Law were thinking and made it clear that he had the authority to forgive sins. At the time, people believed that only God could forgive sins, which is why the scribes called Jesus’ statement blasphemy. Jesus then miraculously healed the paralytic to show that he was no ordinary man.

The incident is both ironic and humorous. The scribes think Jesus is blasphemous for considering himself to have powers associated with God. Yet Jesus knows their very thoughts—a power only a god would have. He then asks them, somewhat humorously, which is harder: to tell a paralytic that his sins are forgiven or to tell him to get up and walk? Jesus then commands the man to rise to his feet—and he does!

Mark 2:13 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Jesus returns to the shores of the Sea of Galilee to teach. Mark tells us that the crowds continued to follow him.

Mark 2:14 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Levi is the disciple most of us know as Matthew. He is called Levi in Mark and Luke, but Matthew in the Gospel of Matthew. His father was named Alphaeus, the same name as the apostle James’s father. It is not known whether Matthew and James were brothers.

Levi’s toll booth was likely located along the road between Damascus and Capernaum, which led to the Mediterranean coast. He was probably employed by Herod Antipas, the tetrarch of Galilee, to collect taxes on goods passing through.

Jews hated tax collectors, viewing them as employees of the enemy and traitors. They despised them so much that tax collectors were barred from synagogues, and if one entered your home, the entire home was considered “unclean.” Tax collectors were also often corrupt: they worked on commission and could collect more money by overestimating the value of the goods they taxed. They behaved much like gangsters and were often violent, further fueling Jewish resentment.

Mark 2:15 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Jesus further confounds the Jewish scribes by dining in the home of a reviled tax collector. Levi may have hosted a party for Jesus, or it may have been a farewell dinner for Levi as he prepared to leave his position and follow Jesus. Either way, other tax collector friends were naturally in attendance.

Mark 2:15 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

The text here tells us that “there were many who followed Him,” suggesting that more than just the twelve disciples and tax collectors were present. We often picture Jesus traveling with only the twelve disciples, but he probably moved with a much larger group, including the wives and families of some disciples, who likely traveled with them at times.

Mark 2:16 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

The scribes in this instance are identified as Pharisees. At the time, Pharisees outnumbered Sadducees and strictly adhered to Old Testament laws.

Mark 2:18 · open in the reader · from All Bible Study

Old Testament law required fasting on the Day of Atonement and usually five other annual fasts. The stricter Pharisees also fasted twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays. The reason John’s disciples fasted is unknown; perhaps it was because he was in prison at the time.
