This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mar_1:21. εἰσπορεύονται ] Jesus and His four disciples. According to Mark, they go away from the lake to Capernaum, not from Nazareth (thus Victor Antiochenus, Theophylact, Euthymius Zigabenus, and others, following Luke), and not away from the mount (according to Mat_8:5). Matthew and Luke have differently restored the right historical sequence, the absence of which was felt in the abrupt report of Mark, Mar_1:21. They thus found here something of the ἔνια , which the fragment of Papias pronounced to be wanting in τάξις (see on Matt. Introd. p. 42 f.).
εὐθέως τοῖς σάββ .] i.e. immediately on the next Sabbath, not: on the several Sabbaths (Euthymius Zigabenus, Wolf, and many others), which is forbidden by εὐθέως . σάββατα , as in Mar_2:23; Mat_12:1; Luk_4:6; Col_2:16.
ἐδίδασκε ] What, Mark does not say, for he is more concerned with the powerful impression, with the marvellous deed of the teaching, the general tenor of which, we may add, Mar_1:14 f. does not leave in any doubt. This synagogue-discourse has nothing to do with the sermon on the Mount, as if it were intended to occupy the place of the latter (Hilgenfeld).
