# Mr 4:21
\\Is a lamp . . . put under a basket?\\ The Jews used lamps
instead of candles. These were set on, not a candlestick, but a
light stand.
See note on "Mt 5:15"
It is possible that these words, as well as verse 24, were not
spoken on this day, but borrowed from the Sermon on the Mount,
because they are parables of a certain kind.
# 4:24
(PNT 174)
01203
# Mr 4:24
\\Take heed what ye hear.\\ Luke says, "How you hear."
# Lu 8:18
Both admonitions are very important. Our ears should be deaf to
evil counsel. We should hear attentively, earnestly and devoutly
the word of the Lord.
(PNT 175)
01205
# Mr 4:26
\\So is the kingdom of God.\\ Mark's parable teaches:
(1) it is ours to sow the seed (the truth), his to give it
growth;
(2) having sown, we are to wait for time and God to perfect it;
(3) this he does according to the definite order of
development--first the blade, then the ear, then the full
corn in the ear;
(4) not until there has been time for the development, are we to
expect to reap. The lesson is one of trust and hope.
\\Should cast seed.\\ The word of God, the Gospel.
(PNT 175 edited)
01206
# Mr 4:27
\\Should sleep, and rise\\, etc. While giving the seed sown
time to germinate and come forth.
(PNT 175)
01207
# Mr 4:28
\\First the blade.\\ There is a law of orderly development in
natural growth, so also is it in reference to spiritual growth.
Compare
# 1Jo 2:12-14
Some growths are quicker than others, but in all there is
growth. And we have no right to look for the end at the
beginning, the ripened Christian experience in the young
convert, the full corn in the first appearance of the blade.
Observe, too, that we can know that there is growth by its
results, though we know not how, and that each stage of the
growth is more apparent than the preceding stage.
(PNT 175)

# Mr 4:29
\\Immediately he putteth in the sickle.\\ The time of harvest
is when the fruit is ripe; in this instance when the word had
produced faith, repentance and obedience. Then those who exhibit
the fruit are to be gathered into the church.
(PNT 175)

# Lu 8:22-25
The Sea of Galilee lies 600 feet below the level of the
Mediterranean and has a tropical climate. Only a short distance
north are the high mountains of Lebanon. The heated air about
the sea invites the rush of cold waves from the mountains.
(PNT 176)

# Mr 4:41
\\They feared exceedingly.\\ The disciples in the boat. Such
an astounding display of power, the control of the storm in
which are as helpless as infants, filled them with awe. What
manner of being could he be whom storm, wind, and sea obeyed?
They had not yet learned that the word which the sea obeyed was
the word in obedience to which the world itself was made.

SUMMARY OF MARK 5
\\Healing the Afflicted\\
In the Country of the Gadarenes
The Fierce Demoniac
The Demons and the Swine
The Gadarenes Do Not Wish Jesus
The Preacher in Decapolis
Jesus Again in Capernaum
The Daughter of Jairus
The Woman with the Issue of Blood
Healed by Faith
The Dead Damsel Made Alive
\\They came over to the other side.\\ After the storm.
\\Into the country of the Gadarenes.\\ Matthew in the
parallel account says \\Gergesenes.\\
# Mt 8:28
The explanation is easy. Gerasa, a town whose modern name is
Gersa, stood on the southeast shore of the sea, while Gadara,
the chief city of the district, was south about seven or eight
miles. As the capital of the district, "the country of the
Gadarenes" embraced Gerasa and its vicinity.
(PNT 176)

# Mr 5:2
\\There met him out of the tombs.\\ The tombs are still seen
in the cliff near Gersa. For notes on demoniacal possession and

# Mr 5:3
\\Dwelling among the tombs.\\ The tombs of that age were
either natural or artificial caves in a rocky hill side, and
hence would afford shelter. They are now sometimes the homes of
the poorer classes.
\\No man could bind him.\\ Modern lunatics in their frenzy
often exhibit almost superhuman strength.
(PNT 177)
01230
# Mr 5:10
\\Besought him much\\, etc. In other words, "Do not send us
back to the place of perdition from whence we came." They
confess the power of Christ.
(PNT 177)
01231
# Mr 5:11
\\Near to the mountains.\\ At Gersa the mountain rises near
the sea.
\\A great herd of swine.\\ Either the property of Gentiles,
or of Jews who disobeyed the law of Moses for gain.
(PNT 177)
01233
# Mr 5:13
\\A steep place.\\ The declivity at the base of the mountain
at Gersa is almost perpendicular.
(PNT 177)
01237
# Mr 5:17
\\They began to beseech him to depart.\\ Christ does not stay
where he is not wanted. He never visited the country of the
Gadarenes again.
(PNT 178)
01240
# Mr 5:20
\\Decapolis.\\ A district so called from its ten cities, of
which Gadara was one. The first preacher of Christ there was one
who could testify of his power.
(PNT 178)
01241
# Mr 5:21
\\When Jesus had passed . . . to the other side.\\ Sailed
back across the sea to Capernaum.
(PNT 178)
01242
# Mr 5:22
\\One of the rulers of the synagogue.\\ The office of ruler
in the synagogue was somewhat similar to that of elder in a
Christian congregation.
(PNT 178)
01243
# Mr 5:23
\\At the point of death.\\ In verse 35 the word comes to the
ruler that his daughter is dead. Matthew in his account
condenses the two reports and says, "She is dead."

\\And a certain woman.\\ For notes on this miracle

\\An issue of blood.\\ A haemorrhage of the womb or bowels.
(PNT 178)
01246
# Mr 5:26
\\Suffered many things from many physicians.\\ The medical
art in Judea in that age was in a very crude condition.
Lightfoot gives, from the Rabbinical books, the remedy for a
female haemorrhage: "Let them dig seven ditches, in which let
them burn some cuttings of vines under four years old. Let her
take in her hand a cup of wine; let them lead her away from this
ditch and make her sit over that. Let them remove her from that
and sit her over another. At each removal you must say to her,
'Arise for thy flux.'" This is an illustration of what this
woman suffered.
