Marcos 8
Morris - four thousand. The feeding of the five thousand is reported in all four gospels; the subsequent similar feeding of four thousand on another occasion is recorded only by Matthew and Mark (see notes on Matthew 14:20 and Mt 15:38). (Mark 8) Alfred Edersheim observed that “the Lord ended each phase of His ministry with a feeding. He ended the ministry in Galilee with the feeding of the five thousand. He ended the ministry in the Gentile area with the feeding of the four thousand. And He ended the Judean ministry before His death on the cross with the feeding of His own in the upper room.” Click for John MacArthur's excellent summary of 9 important lessons w e can learn from the feeding of the 4000 in Gentile territory. James Edwards comments on Jesus' ministry to the Gentiles - From the church fathers onward the church has rightly perceived that in the feeding of the four thousand Jesus brings saving bread to the Gentiles, as he brought it earlier to the Jews in the feeding of the five thousand. The journey to the Gentiles in Mk 7:24–8:9 has evinced that they are neither beyond the reach of salvation nor inured to it. Like the book of Jonah, the three vignettes in Mark 7:24–8:9 reveal that supposed Gentile outsiders are in fact surprisingly receptive to the word of God in Jesus. The journey of Jesus to Tyre, Sidon, and the Decapolis proves that although the Gentiles are ostracized by the Jews, they are not ostracized by God. Jewish invective against the Gentiles does not reflect a divine invective. There is a lesson here for the people of God in every age, that its enemies are neither forsaken by God nor beyond the compassion of Jesus.

Magadan on Western Side of Sea of Galilee And immediately He entered the boat with His disciples and came to the district of Dalmanutha - Jesus had been in Gentile territory (Tyre in Mk 7:24-30, Sidon Mk 7:31, Decapolis - Mk 7:31-8:9) and now returns to Jewish territory in Galilee. The location of Dalmanutha is not known but comparing with Mt 15:39, it is reasonable to locate Dalmanutha near Magadan (see above for Magadan's or Magdala's probable location). So while the scene shifts the issue of bread is still on the table so to speak for He will pick back up on bread in Mk 8:14. Mark 8:11 The Pharisees came out and began to argue with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him. Wuest And there came out the Pharisees, and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him an attesting miracle from heaven, putting Him to the test. (Wuest) NET Mark 8:11 Then the Pharisees came and began to argue with Jesus, asking for a sign from heaven to test him. NLT Mark 8:11 When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had arrived, they came and started to argue with him. Testing him, they demanded that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority. ESV Mark 8:11 The Pharisees came and began to argue with him, seeking from him a sign from heaven to test him. NIV Mark 8:11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. GNT Mark 8:11 Καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ ἤρξαντο συζητεῖν αὐτῷ, ζητοῦντες παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ σημεῖον ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, πειράζοντες αὐτόν.

John 2:18+ The Jews then said to Him, “What sign do You show us as your authority for doing these things?” Matthew 12:38-42+ Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, “Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.” 39 But He answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet; 40 for just as JONAH WAS THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS IN THE BELLY OF THE SEA MONSTER, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. 41 “The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here. 42“ The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here. Luke 11:16+ Others, to test Him, were demanding of Him a sign from heaven. John 4:48+ So Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you simply will not believe.” 1 Corinthians 1:22 For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom; SEEK TO DISCREDIT ASKING FOR A "CELESTIAL CONFIRMATION" Note that Matthew's parallel (Matthew 16 seems to be the parallel, although Matthew 12 has some similarities - see above) gives more detail than Mark's account. They had come out to test Jesus (Mt 16:1+) The Pharisees came out - Matthew says "the Pharisees (pharisaios) and Sadducees (saddoukaios)" (Mt 16:1+) which is significant because these two sects were normally hostile to one another. Here they see Jesus as their common "enemy" and thus become "friends" (see note on "enemy of my enemy"). Riddle put it this way “Extremes of error combined from hatred of the truth.” Matthew’s parallel account of the Sadducees joining the Pharisees was the first time they had gained up to attack Jesus. Recall that in Mk 3:22+ they had concluded His authority was from Satan declaring "“He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.” They cannot dispute the supernatural works He has done, but these miracles did not convince them but only made them more recalcitrant and hardened to the Truth. J D Jones - “Pharisees and Sadducees were, as a rule, at daggers drawn. They were separated from one another by deep religious and political differences.” (Mark 8 Commentary)
Marcos 8
Morris - Peter's great confession apparently was given as spokesman for all the disciples since Jesus had asked them the question. They understood that Jesus was both the promised Messiah ("the Christ") and (not in Mark but in Mt 16:16) also the only begotten Son of God. They had learned this first from John the Baptist (see John's testimony as recorded in John 1:15-18), but this had been further confirmed by their personal knowledge of Christ and by the inward witness of the Holy Spirit. (Mark 8) NET Note - The term christos was originally an adjective (“anointed”), developing in LXX into a substantive (“an anointed one”), then developing still further into a technical generic term (“the anointed one”). In the intertestamental period it developed further into a technical term referring to the hoped-for anointed one, that is, a specific individual. In the NT the development starts there (technical-specific), is so used in the gospels, and then develops in Paul to mean virtually Jesus’ last name. Christ (5547)(Christos from chrio = to rub or anoint, consecrate to an office) describes one who has been anointed with oil, one who has been consecrated. The majority of the NT uses refer to Jesus (exceptions = "false Christs" - Mt 24:24, Mk 13:22). Christos describes one who has been anointed, symbolizing appointment to a task. It is used here as the title "Anointed One" and is the Greek synonym for "Messiah." Christos is used in the Septuagint describing everyone anointed with the holy oil, especially the priesthood (Lev. 4:5+, Lev 4:16+) and it is also a name applied to those who were acting as redeemers like Cyrus. In the TWOT Hamilton suggests a fourfold significance to anointing (Heb - Mashiach): (1) separation unto God, (2) authorization by God, (3) divine enablement, and (4) the coming Deliverer. In regards to Deliverer Hamilton says “Though this association with the term māshach is not as prevalent in the OT as often supposed, the prospect of a righteous, Spirit-filled ruler is increasingly discernible in the OT (cf. Isaiah 9:1-7+; Isaiah 1:1-5+; Isa 61:1)” BDAG adds Christos signifies the "Fulfiller of Israelite expectation of a Deliverer" and was used in the Septuagint of the great messianic Ps 2:2+ describing the future day when "The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed (Hebrew = Mashiach/masiyah; Lxx = Christos)." The first use of Christos in the Septuagint describes "the anointed (Hebrew = Mashiach/masiyah; Lxx = Christos) priest" (Lev 4:5+) carrying out a blood sacrifice, clearly foreshadowing the One Who would come as both the Sacrifice and the Priest! Daniel 9:26+ gives us the incredible prophecy that after 69 weeks (483 years) "the Messiah (Mashiach; Christos) will be cut off," a specific prophecy of what would happen to Messiah and when it would happen. The Jews could have known and should have known (and some Jews have been saved when they read Daniel's prophecy) (See Luke 19:42+. Christos is translated in the NAS 1995 edition as Christ (516x), Christ's (11x) and Messiah (4x - Mt 1:1, 16, 17, 2:4). The NIV and ESV never translate Christos as Messiah, but always as Christ. The Holman Christian Standard Bible has an interesting approach and translates Christos as Messiah many times depending on the context (see explanatory note) The NLT translates Christos as Messiah over 80 times. The NET translates Christos as Messiah in Jn 4:29, Acts 3:20, Eph 2:12.

Mk 8:26 7:36 9:9 Mt 16:20 Lu 9:21 Mark 8 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passages: Matthew 16:16+ Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” But He warned them and instructed them not to tell this to anyone, (FOLLOWING NOT IN MARK'S ACCOUNT) 17 And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 “I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. 19 “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven Luke 9:21+ But He warned them and instructed them not to tell this to anyone, Morris - tell no man. Jesus told the unclean spirits (Mark 3:12), those who had seen His miracles (Mark 5:43), and His own disciples here in this verse that they should not make His identity or His miracles known. At least seven times in Mark's gospel alone, He gave such an instruction. Until Jesus was ready, He wanted people to believe His words for their own intrinsic value, as true to God's will. (Mark 8) And He warned them to tell no one about Him - Warned is epitimao a strong term generally implying censure and rebuke (cf Mk 1:25; 3:12) and which means to admonish, and even threaten! It was not time for Him to be fully revealed as the Messiah. His so-called triumphal entry into Jerusalem would be the fit occasion (Mt 21:9 unwittingly fulfilling Ps 118:25,26+, Lk 19:37, 38+ - What is the significance of the triumphal entry?). See related topic, the so-called "Messianic Secret" which discusses why Jesus did not want His identity to be revealed.
