14. Herod's Murder of the Innocents, Matthew 2:16-18. 15. The Return of the Holy Family from Egypt, Matthew 2:19-23; Luke 2:39. 16. Christ's Journey to Jerusalem when twelve years of age, Luke 2:40-48. From the particulars enumerated here, it appears that the things omitted by Mark are also omitted by John, except the Preface; and that St. Luke is the most circumstantial. For other particulars relative to this Gospel, see at the end of the last chapter. The mission, preaching, and success of John Baptist, Mark 1:1-5. His manner of life, Mark 1:6. Proclaims Christ, and baptizes him in Jordan, Mark 1:7-11. The temptation of Christ, Mark 1:12, Mark 1:13. John being put in prison, Christ begins to preach, Mark 1:14, Mark 1:15.

That the kingdom and reign of sin are to be destroyed, and the kingdom of grace and heaven established in their place.

[Bible] Then saith Jesus to him, `Go — Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.` Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him. And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, did withdraw to Galilee, and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtalim, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, `Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations! -- the people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death — light arose to them.` From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, `Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.` And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea — for they were fishers -- and he saith to them, `Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men,` and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him. And having advanced thence, he saw other two brothers, James of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, refitting their nets, and he called them, and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, did follow him. And Jesus was going about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people, and his fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to him all having ailments, pressed with manifold sicknesses and pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them. And there followed him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan. Chapter 5 And having seen the multitudes, he went up to the mount, and he having sat down, his disciples came to him,

[Bible] Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.` And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened, and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers, saying, `Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him — we being asleep; and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.` And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day. And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them, and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver. And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth; having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them — to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days — till the full end of the age.` Mark Chapter 1 A beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, Son of God. As it hath been written in the prophets, `Lo, I send My messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee,` -- `A voice of one calling in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, straight make ye his paths,` -- John came baptizing in the wilderness, and proclaiming a baptism of reformation — to remission of sins, and there were going forth to him all the region of Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and they were all baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. And John was clothed with camel`s hair, and a girdle of skin around his loins, and eating locusts and honey of the field,

2. Mark, then, commences as follows: "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God: as it is written in the prophet Isaiah;" and so on, down to where it is said, "And they go into Capharnaum; and straightway on the Sabbath-day He entered into the synagogue and taught them." In this entire context, everything has been examined above in connection with Matthew. This particular statement, however, about His going into the synagogue at Capharnaum and teaching them on the Sabbath-day, is one which Mark has in common with Luke. But it raises no question of difficulty. Of the Man Out of Whom the Unclean Spirit that Was Tormenting Him Was Cast, and of the Question Whether Mark's Version is Quite Consistent with that of Luke, Who is at One with Him in Reporting the Incident.

53. Matthew, accordingly, continues his narration thus: "Now when the even was come, they brought unto Him many that were possessed with devils; and He cast out the spirits with His word, and healed all that were sick: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." That this belongs in date to the same day, he indicates with sufficient clearness by these words which he subjoins, "Now when the even was come." In a similar manner, after concluding his account of the healing of Peter's mother-in-law with the sentence, "And she ministered unto them," Mark has appended the following statement: "And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto Him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed of the devils. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And He healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew Him. And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out, and departed into a solitary place." Here Mark appears to have preserved the order in such wise, that after the statement conveyed in the words "And at even," he gives this note of time: "And in the morning, rising up a great while before day." And although there is no absolute necessity for supposing either that, when we have the words "And at even," the reference must be to the evening of the very same day, or that when the phrase "In the morning" meets us, it must mean the morning after the self-same night; still, however that may be, this order in the occurrences may fairly appear to have been preserved with a view to an orderly arrangement of the times. Moreover, Luke, too, after relating the story of Peter's mother-in-law, while he does not indeed say expressly, "And at even," has at least used a phrase which conveys the same sense

2. In the plan and arrangement of the evangelical history, yet with striking peculiarities. (a.) Matthew 1-2, and Luke 1-2, and 3:23-38, begin with the genealogy and infancy of Christ, but with different facts drawn from different sources. Mark opens at once with the preaching of the Baptist; while the fourth Evangelist goes back to the eternal pre-existence of the Logos. About the thirty years of Christ's private life and his quiet training for the great work they are all silent, with the exception of Luke, who gives us a glimpse of his early youth in the temple (b.) The preaching and baptism of John which prepared the way for the public ministry of Christ, is related by all the Synoptists in parallel sections: Matthew 3:1-12; Mark 1:1-8; Luke 3:1-18. (c.) Christ's baptism and temptation, the Messianic inauguration and Messianic trial: Matthew 3:13-17; 4:1-11; Mark 1:9-11, 12, 13 (very brief); Luke 3:21-23; 4:1-13. The variations here between Matthew and Luke are very slight, as in the order of the second and third temptation. John gives the testimony of the Baptist to Christ, and alludes to his baptism (John 1:32-34), but differs from the Synoptists. (d.) The public ministry of Christ in Galilee: Matthew 4:12-18:35; Mark narrate a series of events connected with the Galilaean ministry, which are wanting in Luke; while Luke 9:51-18:14, has another series of events and parables connected with the last journey to Jerusalem which are peculiar to him.

The fact that all need, and some of all classes are interested in the redemption of Jesus Christ, proves that all have a sin of nature. For if they were not sinners, they would not be susceptible of redemption. Among the Redeemed are "elect infants dying in infancy," as is proved by Luke 18:16; Matthew 21:16 But infants have no actual transgressions to be redeemed from! Socinians and Pelagians talk of a redemption in their case, which consists neither in an actual regeneration nor forgiveness, but in their resurrection, and their being endued with a gracious and assured blessedness. But this is a mere abuse of Scripture to speak of such a process as the redeeming work of Christ for any human being. For His very name and mission were from the fact that He was to save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21; 1 Timothy 1:15; Mark 2:17; Galatians 2:21; 3:21. Christ was sent to save men from perishing. John 3:16. His redemption is always by blood, because this typifies the atonement for sin. Sin is therefore co-extensive with redemption. 8th. From Regeneration.

Why does not God see that Paradise is still man's most wholesome state, as it was Adam's? But from Genesis 2:17, onward, death is always spoken of as a punishment for sin. Then, where death goes, sin must have gone. Romans 5:12; 1 Corinthians 15:22. Especially the death of infants proves it; because they cannot understand the disciplinary effects of suffering and death. See especially the cases of the infants of Sodom, of Canaan, of Jerusalem, in Ezekiel 9:6. Nor can it be said that infants die only by the imputed guilt of Adam's sin; for imputed guilt and actual depravity are never found separated in the natural man. 7th. From Need of Redemption. The fact that all need, and some of all classes are interested in the redemption of Jesus Christ, proves that all have a sin of nature. For if they were not sinners, they would not be susceptible of redemption. Among the Redeemed are "elect infants dying in infancy," as is proved by Luke 18:16; Matthew 21:16 But infants have no actual transgressions to be redeemed from! Socinians and Pelagians talk of a redemption in their case, which consists neither in an actual regeneration nor forgiveness, but in their resurrection, and their being endued with a gracious and assured blessedness. But this is a mere abuse of Scripture to speak of such a process as the redeeming work of Christ for any human being. For His very name and mission were from the fact that He was to save His people from their sins. Matthew 1:21; 1 Timothy 1:15; Mark 2:17; Galatians 2:21; 3:21
