Place â€" The event* recorded In the greater part of the lesaon. throogh Terse 38, occurred in Capernaum. The preacbing tour, and the healing of the leper, took place in Galilee, thoagh where we are not definitely told. The miracles of healing which took place on this particular day in Cap- ernaum are recorded also by Matthew (8: 14-K), and Luke (4: 3g-41i. 29. "Ana straightway, when they were come out of the synagogue." Thla 13 still the same Sabbath day during which Mark tejls cs. In the prec-eding paragraph that Jesus had taught with such astonishing power In ihe Capernaum synagogue and had delivered one possessed by an unclean spirit. Undoubtedly the whole city was in commotion that day because of what had taken place in this house of worship, and centainly la every hoiLio that noon the one subject of co:iversation was Jesus of Nazareth, his teaching, and his miracles. "They came into the house." Jesus went wifh them. He had come to teach men the way from the syn?igogue to the house. The Christ of the synagogue !s the Christ o' the house. "Of Simon and .Aaiirew. with James and John." T'le house b>3longe<l to Simon Peter, as Matthew and Luke tell us. though P'.^Siihly .\ndrew also was living there. J.in'.t?i and John were simply invited to the home that day. Peter had not yet given up his home on the Sea of Gaiilcj. though he had undoubtedly given up his fishing business.

'-Lay sick of a f>>vc- " Fevers are common in the Oru-nf. and they would be especially distressing in such a hot climate as prov.ai!s around the Sea of Galilee, which is five hundred feet below the level of the sea. '-And straightway thoy tjll him of her." Dr. Lenski has Tc.y sympathetically sussested tr- .t ' r.iost likely v.hen Jesus came into the house and did not see the woman, he u«ked where she was. and then h-':*.rd of her ailment." She was no rtiiubt confined in an inner apartment. With Jesus, the greatest man that eviT lived, it was so easy to confide unytl'.in.? and everything. 31. â- 'And he came and took her by tho *h;uid." Have you ever made a c.ir.'ful study of the hands of Jesus, of .lU they did. and. finally, of their pit'-cing â- on the cross, and the benedic- tion which they symbolized as they v.-ort,' tiplifted That day when he :is- ceniei! into glory? The hand of Jesus w:v: as warm as love could make It. It ,v.-.ii thrilling with tenderness and vibrating with compassion. The touch upon tile fevered hand of that old woraan tn Capernaum was as a con- d-,>nsation into one act of the very principle of the iiioarnatioii and of the wto<e power which Christ exercises uion a fevered and sick world. "And laiAoU her up; and the fever left her." The Fevers Of The Soul •It is not lllesitimate to allow our minds to pa<s from the fevers of the body to the fevers of the soul. In- deed, that is one of the authorized wu.vs when we seek to interpret th? iitiraiHes of the Lord. The Saviours miracles are the outer and visible types of inner and greater wonders. They are done In the body in order that We may infer th« deeper eman- cipations of the spirit. 32. 'And at even, when tho sun did aot, they brought unto him all that were sick, and them that were poss- essed with demons." S3. "And all the city was gathered together at the door." 3t. "Ami he healed many that were sick with divers diseases, and cast out tiiauy demons; and he suf- fered not the demons to speak, be- c.itse thev knew him." "The strict laws of the Jewish Sabbath gave > few hours of rest to all. but the blast of the trumpet which announced i'' close was the signal for a renewal of the popular escilement. now in- creased by the rumor of a secotid miracle; all that had any sick, with whatever disease.' brought them to (he great Healer. The whole town was in •notion, and crowded before' the "house. 35. "And in the uiornit\g. a great while before day. he rose and went out, anil dep.irt -d int.> a desert place, and there pni.ved." In th> pit-sent in- stance, 6s the context indicates, it was Jesus' resolve to proac.i the gospel of the Kingdom all through Galilee. Jesus prayed because he was m.ui His prayers were comiuuuious with *is Patl^Of. 36. 'And Simon and they that were with him followed after him." Ttie won! Jl^^i tr.\uah»ted "followed after nioaus. literally, 'to hunt down. " aud "gives the idea of hard, p-^rsisteiit sewrch. " The Work of Preaching 37. "And they found him. and say unto Jjlm, .All are seeking i^ee" .No â- â- â- â€¢ ^ ••••••i '..oubt these disciples wsj went out to search for Jeaus knew why ha had gon« off to be by himself. BealU- log that the sinless Son of God, wbo had power to heal all disease*, needed pravii;- 50 keenly thit he had to rise early in the morning to find time for it, they should faemselvea have gone out to be alone with God as their Master was that morning. Instead of that they were burdened with the Immediate demands of a great multitude, and they did what so many Christian workers do. they put work before prayer. 3S. 'And he saith unto them. Let lis go elsewhere into the next towns, that I may preach there also; for to this end came I forth." By the phrase ••came I forth" we believe that Christ refers definitely to his coming from the Father. Therein we discover the strength of his purpose. The strength of his service lay in the complete abandonment of the Servant to the One who commanded. He moved ev- erywhere with the dignity of the auth- ority under which he served. He wa3 in the world for a purpose. In this sentence is the key-cote of his confi- dence, the secret of his strength, the infilling of the power that made him the prevailing Servant of God. 39. 'And he went Into their syna- gogues throughout all Galilee, preach- ing and casting out demons." 40. "And there cometh to him a leper." Leprosy waj regarded as the most loathsome and terrible of dis- eases. It existed in various forms, bu: its invariable feature was its fou! uncleanness. The leper was an out- cast. •'Beseeching him. and kneel- ing down to him. and saying unto him. if thou v'.l'.. thou canst make me clean." 41. "And brricig moved wi:h com- passion." Of the three words trans- lated by ''being compassionate' thi> is the strongest, for it meatis not only a pained feeling at sight of suffering. but. in addition, a strong desire to re- lieve or to remove the suffering. "He .stretched forth his hand, and touchel him. and saith unto him. I will; be thou made clean." 'In so touching :.e untouchable we have a sign of fearlessness: there was no appendix of diseases called hopeless in Christ's list of ailments. We have also the sign of friendliness, the leper was a sort of human island washed by lone- ly seas which no friendly mariner ever crossed. 42. 'And straightway the leprosy departed from him. and he w;is made clean." The cue thing that the man needed most was the one thing he wanted most, and it Is exactly the thing that Jesus give him. I.e.. a cleansing from his foul disease. 60 many men in suffering the conse- quences of sin and of disobedience to God want the consequences removed, such OS poverty, suffering, social shame, loss of position, but do not ask God to remove the love for sin, nor do they ask him for cleansing and forgiveness. No man unclean In sin ever sincerely came to the Lord Jesus for cleansing but he received it immediately. 43. "And he strictly charged him. and straightway sent him out, 44. and salth unto him. See thou say nothing to any man: but go show thyself to the priest, and offer for thy cleansing the things which Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them." Jesus thus orders this man to carry out In due form the ceremonial requirements ••the things Moses commanded," and thus to have himself ofllclally rein- stated as clean of leprosy. Jesus has not come to detroy. but to folflll, the law and the prophets ^Matt. 5, 171 ; and by his orders to the leper he had healed fulfills the law of Moses In the present case.
