Mark 1:29-31 And immediately, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.… Note — I. THE VARIETY OF THE CASES OF HEALING. Fever. Divers diseases, demoniacal possession. Leprosy. Christ had no specialty; His resources were varied; He can touch all classes of human need. II. HOW HEALING WAS EFFECTED BY PERSONAL CONTACT — "Took her by the hand." "Put forth His hand and touched him." III. HOW RAPIDLY THE PATIENTS WERE HEALED — "immediately." Ordinarily healing travels slowly; here as if by lightning. So in matters spiritual. IV. HOW MANIFEST WAS THE REALITY OF THE HEALING. Peter's mother-in-law "ministered." Work of Christ in man always seen in its effects. Saul (Galatians 1:23). (H. Thorne.) Parallel Verses KJV: And forthwith, when they were come out of the synagogue, they entered into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. |
