Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

See also Luk 4:31-37. Mar 1:21 And they went into Capernaum - For the situation of Capernaum see the notes at Mat 4:13. Straightway - Immediately. On the following Sabbath. The synagogue - See the notes at Mat 4:23. And taught - In the synagogue, the presiding elder, after reading the Scriptures, invited anyone who chose to address the people, Act 13:15. Though our Saviour was not a “priest” of the Levitical order or an “officer” of the synagogue, yet we find him often availing himself of this privilege, and delivering his doctrines to the Jews.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Mark (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1857)

These verses begin the long list of miracles which Mark's Gospel contains. They tell us how our Lord cast out devils in Capernaum, and healed Peter's wife's mother of a fever. We learn, in the first place, from these verses, the uselessness of a mere intellectual knowledge of religion . Twice we are specially told that the unclean spirits know our Lord. In one place it says, "they knew Him." to another, the devil cries out, "I know you who you are, the Holy One of God."
