• Mark, unlike Matthew, rarely quotes the Scriptures. How perfectly it is in keeping with the gospel, and its opening part also, is evident. If the Lord of glory was coming or comes in the form of a servant and the likeness of men, it was most appropriate that prophecy should (not be broken but) bend before Him, and that a new and still more blessed testimony should begin. (“Remarks on Mark 1:1-13” by W. Kelly)
• MARK gives us the ministry of the Lord….there is the evident design of drawing our attention to His Gospel service; and all the incidents chosen, and the peculiar mode in which they are handled, will be found to bear upon this weighty and affecting theme: the Lord God as the servant, in lowly, faithful ministration of the Gospel here below. (“Mark 1” by W. Kelly)
• It was more than prophecy, though in accordance, as verses 2 and 3 prove, with the prophets. (“Mark 1” by W. Kelly)
• A close inspection will soon satisfy the reader that Mark follows the order of the facts,17 as does John, with a very slight exception, so far as he gives us a historical account. Neither Luke nor Matthew adheres to the obvious successional order of events: the former, with a view to developing the moral bearings of the facts, recorded the real condition of man and the admirable resources of Divine grace; the latter, so as to manifest more vividly the change of dispensation consequent on the rejection of the Messiah. (“Mark 1” by W. Kelly)
