📖🕯 Holy Bible - Mark 1 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: The office of John the Baptist, The baptism and temptation of Christ, Christ preaches and calls disciples, He casts out an unclean spirit, He heals many diseased, He heals a leper.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "He [Jesus] took upon himself the likeness of sinful flesh; and thus, for our sakes, he sanctified himself, that we also might be sanctified, and be baptized with him." ~ Matthew Henry

[Jesus speaking] "For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified." ~ John 17:19 (NIV)

📖 About the book: Mark the Evangelist, also known as Saint Mark, is the person who is traditionally ascribed to be the author of the Gospel of Mark. According to Church tradition, Mark founded the episcopal see of Alexandria, which was one of the five most important sees of early Christianity. Mark was a sister's son to Barnabas, shows that he was the son of Mary, a pious woman of Jerusalem, at whose house the apostles and first Christians evangelist is supposed to have been converted by that apostle. Thus Mark was closely united with the followers of our Lord, if not himself one of the number. Mark wrote at Rome; some suppose that Peter dictated to him, though the general testimony is, that the apostle having preached at Rome, Mark, who was the apostle's companion, and had a clear understanding of what Peter delivered, was desired to commit the particulars to writing. And we may remark, that the great humility of Peter is very plain where any thing is said about himself. Scarcely an action or a work of Christ is mentioned, at which this apostle was not present, and the minuteness shows that the facts were related by an eye-witness. This Gospel records more of the miracles than of the discourses of our Lord, and though in many things it relates the same things as the Gospel according to Matthew, we may reap advantages from reviewing the same events, placed by each of the evangelists in that point of view which most affected his own mind.
