And he was speechless. | Andrew, with James and John, Mark Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, xxii. 12, 13.~ And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, xxiv. 51. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, xxv. 30. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment, 2 Pet. ii. 4. These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for ever, 17. Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever, Jude 13.

VER. 13.

Καὶ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῷ ἑκατοντάρχω· Υπαγε, καὶ ὡς ἐπίστευσας γενηθήτω σοι· Καὶ ἰάθη ὁ παῖς αὐτοῦ ἐν τῇ ὥρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.

And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; a and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. b And his servant was healed in the self-same hour.

a See parallels on ver. 28. chap. xv. bThen inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: And himself believed, and his whole house, John iv. 52, 53.

VER. 14.

Καὶ ἐλθὼν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν Πέτρου, εἶδε τὴν πενθερὰν αὐτοῦ βεβλημένην καὶ πυ ρέσσουσαν.

And when Jesus was come a into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

b Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and as the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas? 1 Cor. ix. 5. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach, 1 Tim. iii. 2. Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth, iv. 3. Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge, Heb. xiii. 3.

VER. 15.

Καὶ ἥψατο τῆς χειρὸς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἀφῆκεν αὐτὴν ὁ πυρετός· καὶ ἐγέρθη, καὶ διηκόνει αὐτ τοῖς.

And he a touched her hand, and the fever left her and she arose, and ministered unto them.

a And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed, Matt. viii. 3. And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment, ix. 20. Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you, 29. And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as xiv. 36. So Jesus had compassion on touched were made perfectly whole, them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him, xx. 34. And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged, Isa. vi. 7. And Jesus, moved with compassion, put forth his hand, and touched him, and saith unto him, I will; be thou clean, Mark i. 41. And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, say

ing, Maid, arise, Luke viii. 54. And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth, Acts xix.

11-13.

VER. 16.

Οψίας δὲ γενομένης προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ δαιμονιζομένους πολλούς· καὶ ἐξέβαλε τὰ πνεύματα λόγῳ, καὶ πάντας τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας ἐθεράπευσεν

When a the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:

:

a And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them, Matt. iv. 24. As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel, ix. 32, 33. Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw, xii. 22. Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil, xv. 22. And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him, Mark i. 32-34. And inthe synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth? art thou come to destroy us?

A. D. 31.

I know thee who thou art; the Holy One of God. And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not, Luke iv. 33-35. Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. Jesus I know, and Paul I know ; but And the evil spirit answered and said, who are ye? Acts xix. 13-16.

b And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with

compassion toward them, and he healed their sick, Matt. xiv. 14. And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee, Exod. xv. 26.

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance, viii. 3.

And he said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came 1 forth, Mark i. 35--38. And straightway he constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and to go unto the other side before unto Bethsaida, while he sent away the people, vi. 45. And when it was day, he departed and went into a desert place: and the people sought him, and came unto him, and stayed him that he should not depart from them. And he said unto them, I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also for therefore am I sent, Luke iv. 42, 43. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone, John vi. 15.

VER. 20.

Καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Αἱ ἀλώπεκες φωλεοὺς ἔχουσι, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατασκηνώσεις· ὁ δὲ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οὐκ ἔχει ποῦ τὴν κεφαλὴν κλίνῃ.

And Jesus saith unto him, a The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

a But I am poor and needy, yet the LORD thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God, Psal. xl. 17. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me, cix. 22. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not, Isa. liii. 2, 3. And she brought forth her first

Ἕτερος δὲ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ εἶπεν αὐτ τῷ· Κύριε, ἐπίτρεψόν μοι πρῶτον ἀπελθεῖν, καὶ θάψαι τὸν πατέρα μου.

a And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, sufer me first to go and bury my father.

a And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God, Luke ix. 59-62.

VER. 22.

Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ακολούθει μοι, καὶ ἄφες τοὺς νεκροὺς θάψαι τοὺς ἑαυτῶν νεκροὺς.

But Jesus said unto him, a Follow me; band let the dead bury their dead.

a And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make fishers you of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. And they

immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him, Matt. iv. 18-22. And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him, ix. 9. The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me, John i. 43. Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more, 2 Cor. v. 16.

b It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found, Luke xv. 32.

But she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth, 1 Tim. v. 6.

VER. 23.

Καὶ ἐμβάντι αὐτῷ εἰς τὸ πλοῖον, ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ.

And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.

VER. 24.

Καὶ ἰδοὺ, σεισμὸς μέγας ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ, ὥστε τὸ πλοῖον καλύπτεσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν κυμάτων· αὐτὸς δὲ ἐκάθευδε.

a And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.

a And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish? Mark iv. 37, 38.

Awake, why sleepest thou, O LORD? arise, cast us not off for ever, xliv. 22, 23. Behold, the Lord GOD will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? lo, they all shall wax old as a garment; the moth shall eat them up. Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God, Isa. l. 9, 10. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm, Luke viii. 24.

VER. 26.

Καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Τί δειλοί έστε, όλ γόπιστοι; Τότε ἐγερθεὶς ἐπετίμησε τοῖς ἀνέμοις, καὶ τῇ θαλάσσῃ· καὶ ἐγένετο γαλήνη μεγάλη.

And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, Ο ye of little faith ? ? Then he

Matt. viii. 27. even the winds and the sea obey Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling-band for it, And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors, And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no farther and here shall thy proud waves be stayed? Job xxxviii. 8—11. Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people, Psal. Ixv. 7.

And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. And he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered, Mark vi. 48-51. And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth, Rev. x. 2.

VER. 27.

Οἱ δὲ ἄνθρωποι ἐθαύμασαν, λέγοντες. Ποταπός ἐστιν οὗτος, ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἄνεμοι καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ὑπακούουσιν αὐτῷ;

a But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!

a Then they that were in 'the ship came and worshipped him, saying, of a truth thou art the Son of God, Matt. xiv. 33. And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him? Mark iv. 41.

thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth, civ. 6-9. Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven, cvii. 28-30. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the God of Jacob, cxiv. 3-7. When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth, Prov. viii. 28, 29. Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst. I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering. The Lord God hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I a And they came over unto the should know how to speak a word in other side of the sea, into the counseason to him that is weary: hetry of the Gadarenes, Mark v. 1. wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mire ear to hear as the learned, Isa. 1. 2—4. He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth, Nah. i. 4. And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed

And a when he was come to the other side into the country of the b Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, d coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.

And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over-against Galilee, Luke viii. 26.

b When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou, Deut. vii. 1.
