THE HOLY GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO ST. MARK
St. Mark, the disciple and interpreter of St. Peter , according to what he heard from Peter himself, wrote at Rome a brief Gospel at the request of the Brethren, about ten years after our lord's Ascension; which when Peter had heard, he approved of it and with his authority published it to the church to be read. Baronius and others say that the original was written in Latin: but the more general opinion is that the Evangelist wrote it in Greek.
The preaching of John the Baptist. Christ is baptized by him. He calls his disciples and works many miracles.
Christ heals the sick of the palsy. He calls Matthew and excuses his disciples.
Christ heals the withered hand. He chooses the twelve. He confutes the blasphemy of the Pharisees.
The parable of the sower. Christ stills the tempest at sea.
That seeing they may see, etc... in punishment of their wilfully shutting their eyes, God justly withdrew those lights and graces, which otherwise he would have given them, for their effectual conversion.
Christ casts out a legion of devils: he heals the issue of blood, and raises the daughter of Jairus to life.
Christ teaches at Nazareth: he sends forth the twelve apostles: he feeds five thousand with five loaves; and walks upon the sea.
He could not... Not for want of power, but because he would not work miracles in favour of obstinate and incredulous people, who were unworthy of such favours.
And kept him... That is, from the designs of Herodias; and for fear of the people, would not put him to death, though she sought it; and through her daughter she effected her wish.
Christ rebukes the Pharisees. He heals the daughter of the woman of Chanaan; and the man that was deaf and dumb.
Doctrines and precepts of men... See the annotations, Matt. 15. 9, 11.
Christ feeds four thousand. He gives sight to a blind man. He foretells his passion.
Christ is transfigured. He casts out the dumb spirit. He teaches humility and to avoid scandal.
Marriage is not to be dissolved. The danger of riches. The ambition of the sons of Zebedee. A blind man is restored to his sight.
None is good... Of himself entirely and essentially, but God alone; men may be good also, but only by participation of God's goodness.
Christ enters into Jerusalem upon an ass. He curses the barren fig tree and drives the buyers and sellers out of the temple.
The parable of the vineyard and husbandmen. Caesar's right to tribute. The Sadducees are confuted. The first commandment. The widow's mite.
Christ foretells the destruction of the temple and the signs that shall forerun the day of judgment.
Nor the Son... Not that the Son of God is absolutely ignorant of the day of judgment, but that he knoweth it not, as our teacher; that is, he knoweth it not so as to teach it to us, as not being expedient.
The first part of the history of the passion of Christ.
Azymes... That is, the feast of the unleavened bread.
Crow twice... The cocks crow at two different times of the night; viz., about midnight for the first time; and then about the time commonly called the cock crowing; and this was the cock crowing our Saviour spoke of; and therefore the other Evangelists take no notice of the first crowing.
The continuation of the history of the passion.
The third hour... The ancient account divided the day into four parts, which were named from the hour from which they began; the first, third, sixth, and ninth hour. Our Lord was crucified a little before noon; before the third hour had quite expired; but when the sixth hour was near at hand.
Christ's resurrection and ascension.
The sun being now risen... They set out before it was light, to go to the sepulchre; but the sun was risen when they arrived there. Or, figuratively, the sun here spoken of is the sun of justice, Christ Jesus our Lord, who was risen before their coming.
Here is the briefest record of our progress :
