Abandon all certainty, ye who enter. Home About. Summary Mark Chapter 8 Apr Chapter 8 was, I believe, a pivotal chapter. Like this: Like Loading For this, I had to learn classical Greek and Latin.
In seminar-style classes, we discussed both the meaning of the text and the language. U of T has a great Classics Dept. One of the professors I took a Senior Seminar with is now at Harvard. I started reading the New Testament as a way to brush up on my Greek, and the process grew into this. I plan to comment on as much of the NT as possible, starting with some of Paul's letters.
After that, I'll start in on the Gospels, starting with Mark. View all posts by James, brother of Jesus ». Leave a comment Comments 0. Jesus is the promised one, the anointed one, the Messiah because He rose from the dead on Easter Sunday and His kingdom is everlasting. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.
Jesus knew he had followers and critics and some followers looking for a free meal or spectacular miracle. No, Jesus was testing his closest disciples. He was also looking for who the Spirit of God inspired. After all Peter a mere human could not come up with this on his own. Peter spoke for all, no one countered with another opinion. Then Jesus warned to keep it to themselves; His hour had not yet come. He had more teaching to do. Who do we say Jesus is? Do we say it to others? Are we still striving to get our arms around Jesus literally and figuratively?
We are commissioned at our Baptism to be disciples of Christ to go out, bear witness. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. And he sent them away. Truly, I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation. Do you not yet perceive or understand? And do you not remember? And some people brought to him a blind man and begged him to touch him. And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.
For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man. King James Version 1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him , and saith unto them, 2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: 3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
And they said, Seven. They say unto him, Twelve. And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the Christ. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him. Truly I say to you,nosign will be given to this generation!
Beware of theleaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod. Do you not yet comprehend or understand? Do you still have your hearthardened?
And do you not remember, 19 when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up? And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him. New Living Translation 1 About this time another large crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again.
Jesus called his disciples and told them, 2 'I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. For some of them have come a long distance. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread to the crowd. These miracles of our Lord assure us that he was not conquered, but a Conqueror.
Now the disciples are convinced that Jesus is the Christ; they may bear to hear of his sufferings, of which Christ here begins to give them notice. He sees that amiss in what we say and do, of which we ourselves are not aware, and knows what manner of spirit we are of, when we ourselves do not.
The wisdom of man is folly, when it pretends to limit the Divine counsels. Peter did not rightly understand the nature of Christ's kingdom. Frequent notice is taken of the great flocking there was to Christ for help in various cases.
All are concerned to know this, if they expect him to heal their souls. They must not indulge the ease of the body.
